Full of holes?

Is this for real? It’s almost as if Melania Trump is trolling her own husband — rejecting the defamatory notion that she would be friendly with, or even recognize, a reporter, while declining to challenge the idea that Donald Trump stuck his tongue down the throat of the same journalist.

In Stoynoff’s telling, Melania Trump was not present at the moment when Donald Trump attacked: She had gone upstairs to change into another outfit. It would mean little for Melania Trump to say she did not witness the alleged assault because no one is claiming she did.

But Melania Trump could try to cast doubt on Stoynoff’s claim by countering other details in the reporter’s account of the visit. Melania Trump could say she was not absent long enough for an assault to have occurred or say that Stoynoff’s claim is not credible because her whole recollection of the interview is full of holes.

Melania Trump did not say any of those things. Melania Trump also has not disputed the account of Mindy McGillivray, who told the Palm Beach Post that when Donald Trump made a pass at her during a party in 2003, Melania caught him in the act.

- Melania Trump’s demand for a retraction by People magazine is simply amazing, WashingtonPost.com, October 14, 2016.
