        Yes, but the implication that he heard 8 years old + thought to still call her beautiful and cute. Not that he made a gaff and was then informed.

          Have you never heard an 8 year old child called ‘cute’ or ‘beautiful’ in a nonsexual way? I’m not saying that was Trump’s intention or not, but given there’s actual allegations of him raping a 13 year old, maybe we should focus on that rather than easily misinterpreted statements?

            Yes, in person from a family member. Not from a stranger hearing a voice of a child for the first time. This isn’t a phone sex line and is NORAD’s Santa line as stated.

            This event is building into the overall narrative of Trump. Yes, he probably did rape a 13 year old and my comments aren’t taking away from that. This is a sign of this thought process. He hears a child, visualizes the child, and makes a creepy remark that he feels is ok.

              And like you say: even if in this case he might not have intended it to sound creepy, him being a stranger saying this to a child instantly makes it creepy.

            Well that’s the thing, when you have a known pedophile say shit like this, that fact tends to affect how those things get interpreted.

            Congratulations, you just defended a pedo without any good reason. You failed so completely at recognising context and objective facts that the only thing you managed to do is show everyone that you’re either a pedo apologist, so fucking dumb you shouldn’t be able to write or both of those things.

            Do you not see how this is relevant to the raping of the 13 year old? If he creeps on little girls now, it’s more evidence that he did back then
