Across actually Trump does have a history/reputation as abusive toward his wives. Documented even.

It's considered 'satire' and true satire is protected from libel laws.

In which case, SNL have plenty of fertile ground to plough.

Re: the paedophile thing, we'll just have to see how that case regarding the 13 year old and the sex parties pans out when it goes to trial...

I am very happy to hear that Sally Yates is gaining a higher profile. She was fantastic at the intelligence committee hearing last week. I hope her star is ascending, particularly if it is Trump firing her that gave her the boost. Oh, the delicious irony.

Unimportant in the grand scheme of things, but there is an amusing article on CNN on Trump's views on keeping fit.
edition.cnn.com/2017/05/15/politics/donald-trump-exercise/index.html
"Trump believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted. So he didn't work out.
He exerts himself fully by standing in front of an audience for an hour.'That's exercise.'"

Orlantina · 15/05/2017 21:28

I can't believe Trump once again brought politics into a speech at a non political event.

He did it at the CIA wall.
He did it with the military.
He's done it with the FBI.

It's like Theresa May giving a talk to officials and assuming that all of them voted for her and supported her and that they all agreed with her.

It's also very disrespectful.
