“When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”

In her first interview since the release of that devastating Access Hollywood video showing her husband making grotesque and insulting comments about women, Melania Trump excuses it as “boy talk” and says Trump “was led on — like, egg on — from the host to say dirty and bad stuff.”

Melania was clearly coached on how to spin this, and it’s such a Trumpian thing to blame his own horrible statements on someone else.

For reference, here’s the actual “hot mic” recording. Decide for yourself whether it seems like Billy Bush “egged on” Donald Trump to say these things. To me, it sounds like Trump was bragging to Bush about how he could dominate and abuse women at will, and I don’t hear Bush “egging him on” at all.
