Before condeming Trump, look in mirror

Posted October 25, 2016 12:01 am

There has been a great deal of banter on the Internet regarding Mr. Trump's comments to an acquaintance 10 years ago. I do understand the feelings some people have on the subject but to treat it more than what most men say in private to other guys is nonsense.

Anyone who has ever been in the military is well aware of the bravado that goes on between soldiers. It was quite common to list for your buddies the women you had scored with. On the other hand, guys who were honest also listed their failings.

During my day there was more than one woman who James Bond bought a cocktail for. Heck, even today you can walk into any locker-room and someone will be talking about some woman's attributes (i.e. and unless my female friends are putting me on the talk in the women's locker room is much the same).

As for Mr. Trump's ability to lead, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Clinton were known womanizers; yet they certainly did a pretty good job, in my opinion. Before people condemn Donald Trump for being a man, I suggest everyone take a look in the mirror one more time.
