Don't Trump's gaffes get reported immediately? Why are these particular quotes only coming out now, a full two years later, and only two months prior to the election?

Hell even FOX News has corroborated the claims from The Atlantic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw9JhnB9wQk

I haven't seen that comment about his ex-wife. Got a link about that? Did Ivana say it or write about it herself?

If it's a matter of record, I should like to know where it's recorded.
Child support, not alimony.

"The 1993 prenup, obtained and reported by Vanity Fair on Tuesday, established that Donald Trump would halt $100,000 child support payments for Tiffany Trump when she turned 21 years old, or earlier if she joined the military, the Peace Corps., or landed a full-time job."

It's kind of like the Bolton book, right?

They've been reported, but only recently have they been corroborated by multiple sources.

Um, honey babes, that doesn't support your original claim. Not the alimony vs child support, the claim about the military itself. It doesn't fit with the Atlantic story.
Isn't Trump the same guy who threatened no alimony for his ex-wife if any of the kids joined the military? I mean this should be a matter of record. How does Trump get around this? Everything alleged to have been said by the Atlantic dovetails quite nicely with everything we've seen from this guy since the 70's.

My original "claim" wasn't a claim at all, it was a question. The gist of the Atlantic's reporting is that Trump has absolute contempt for the military, and the earlier prenup with Maples clearly punishes their daughter financially if she were to join the military before turning 21. That's a disincentive to join the military if there ever was one.

When you think the ship has sunk for Trump (what a horrible person Trump is, so bad that it would take a morally bankrupt Republican Senate to not ratify impeachment this next week), but Ajax and Subgenius will come back with newly concocted bogus talking points.

Can't see how Putin stands Trump, other than a useful weapon against America. Trump is an anti-patriot. A scum-sucking "what's in it for me" kind of guy.

Oh Jesus God Almighty you are so freaking biased. I see it as a Dad not wanting to support a child who is adult enough to make a decision to earn income. If she had simply gone to college, he'd support her. If she's earning a paycheck, he wasn't willing.
