Trump 2016: Maybe America Just Fell Down A Flight Of Stairs.

That’s certainly more fitting than the one he’s been using.
In an interview with CNN this afternoon, Trump — from his plane — not only held fast to his support for campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, but he also made a very logical, intelligent case against Michelle Fields:
Trump on Lewandowski incident: "Take a look at her [Fields] initial statement. It sounded like she got thrown out of a building!"

Anyone up for a flashback?
The media is so after me on women Wow, this is a tough business. Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 26, 2016
If that’s respect, hate to find out what loathing looks like.

So the Trump-Lewandowski defense is, basically: "If she didn't scream, then she's just a drama queen." Repulsive

This is just sick. No one – female OR male – deserves to be treated this way. https://t.co/lVsiljSB11

Amen to that.

Update:
Trump is mocking Fields inside his Janesville rally right now. Reading her allegation in a dramatic voice.
