It’s not often you hear someone dismissing sexual assault claims against them by saying the woman wasn’t attractive enough, but there’s very little about the American presidential race that has played by the rules.

As more women come forward with claims of the ‘octopus-like’ Donald assaulting them (HERE), the Republican nominee lashed out in a string of attacks.

Calling the women a slew of names, he saved special criticism for People writer Natasha Stoynoff.

Take a look:

Yeah, he just dismissed charges on the basis that the woman wasn’t attractive enough. More on his angry rebuttal from the Guardian:

The Republican nominee also attacked, as somehow biased, the New York Times – which reported the statements of two women who alleged Trump groped them.

He threatened to sue the paper and insisted he had eyewitnesses who could disprove its reporting. He described the women who alleged sexual assault against him as “horrible people, they’re horrible horrible liars”. Trump insisted that the press as a whole was “false and slanderous in every respect” and said “the depths of their immorality is absolutely unlimited”.

Look at that last sentence – Trump talking about morality, now we’ve really heard it all.

Back to Trump in another speech later that day, this time in Cincinnati:

The Republican nominee yet again mocked Hillary Clinton’s health, insisting she did not have the strength to deal with China – “If she goes down in Tiananmen Square they’ll just leave her there”…

The Cincinatti rally was marked by unprecedented hostility from the crowd towards the press. Although Trump supporters have long disdained the media and faced the press pen to lambast reporters during Trump’s speech, this time the traveling press were booed and jeered for minutes after their arrival.

You kinda get the feeling that when should he lose, all hell might break loose over there in the land of the free.
