DONALD TRUMP 
A victim of relentless dirty tricks

The US is now the laughing stock of the world because the US Government, the elite politicians from both parties, the mainstream press and media are all climbing over each other trying to attack one man round the clock. Why are they so afraid of him?

It is so ridiculous that their main piece of evidence against him is an accidental 11-year old audio recording of a private conversation he had with a media personality. In it, he was trying to impress the other party with his alleged sexual exploits. Well, I've news for you. Whatever is said privately don't count! That's because you don't know what other people and politicians say in their own private space. You don't know what Hillary or Obama say in their private space. It could be that they don't say lewd things at all; or they may say things far worse than Trump. You will never know, precisely because they are said privately. So, you can't assume what Trump said is terrible because you haven't heard what others say in their own "locker room". Until you've heard what everybody says privately can you make a comparison and judge as to how bad Trump's words are. You also can't compare what someone says privately with what others say publicly.

So, by its very nature, private conversations are private and are not normally heard by others. They are like thoughts. We cannot be judged by our thoughts, but by our actions. If, by chance, such conversations are heard or recorded, their agreeability cannot be ascertained since no comparison could be made with the private conversations of others. A thing is bad only if there are other things that are better. Therefore, that recording of Trump's private sexual boasting can be dismissed as irrelevant and it should not negatively prejudice our impression of his character. 

The use of this video is just a dishonest and dishonorable piece of political trickery. So, Americans, don't be fooled.
