In typical Trump fashion, the President came after an alleged sexual assault victim, Christine Blasey Ford, who accused a Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh
Kavanaugh is Trump’s man and his inability to be confirmed as the final Supreme Court judge due to hearings and proceedings regarding his alleged sexual assault has peeved the temperamental President.
Blasey Ford claimed that she was assaulted by Judge Kavanaugh at a party in the 80s while she was in school with Judge Kavanaugh.
Trump was speaking at a rally in Southaven, Mississippi, where before a cheering crowd, he mocked the alleged victim who said she faced huge trauma following the incident including a drop in academic performance.
He mimicked her at her hearing and also played the role of her questioners: “Thirty-six years ago this happened: I had one beer! Well, you think it was…? Nope! It was one beer.
“Oh, good. How’d you get home? I don’t remember. How’d you get there? I don’t remember. Where was the place? I don’t remember.

“How many years ago was it? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know! I don’t know! What neighbourhood was it in? I don’t know.
“Where’s the house? I don’t know! Upstairs, downstairs, where was it? I don’t know! But I had one beer. That’s the only thing I remember. And a man’s life is in tatters.”
Trump added: “They want to destroy people,” he said. “These are really evil people.”
Speaking to reporters earlier, Trump claimed that young American men were in danger due to the #MeToo movement
“My whole life I’ve heard, ‘you’re innocent until proven guilty’, but now you’re guilty until proven innocent. That’s a very, very difficult standard.” he said
“It’s a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of.”
