Trump Lashes Out at #MeToo Movement… People Deserve Due Process
Rob Porter, who served as a key aide to the President until he resigned this week after allegations surfaced this week that he abused his 2 ex-wives, seemed to be the subject of Trump’s tweet. Trump wished Porter well Friday, essentially saying there was a rush to judgment in believing his accusers.
Trump just tweeted, “Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused – life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?”

Do you agree with the President? I’m a little on the fence on this one. I want people that are abused to come forward without fear. However, I don’t want people’s lives ruined over nothing more than pure meaningless accusations.
I mean think about it!? Women are vindictive creatures and wouldn’t this be a great way to get back at an ex? Mm-Hmmm! Just totally destroy their lives with one little bomb whether it’s true or not just drop it. Could be a great way to revenge!
And not only that, but many couples argue and some get physical a push or a shove or whatever in the heat of the moment. How do we know when there’s no clear evidence that this is not what happened?
Where do we draw the line? I don’t have all the answers, but I’m totally with the President on this one.
