The Trump Card...

Ah, OK. Hard to tell the contextual reference when statements are made in separate posts.
Those comments are already seen in about a creepy a light as there is. I'm not sure in what other kind of light they can be viewed.
Just as some people believe that an accusation alone is more than enough proof that someone did what they are accused of, regardless of the actual disposition of the case, they and others sometimes believe a recanted statement is done not for the truth or for clarity, but for some other wholly unproven motive, especially if that other motive allows the original statement to play well into their own bias.
I don't know about you or anyone else, but I have no reason to disbelieve Ivana Trump where she said in her statement that "I felt violated, as the love and tenderness, which he normally exhibited towards me, was absent. I referred to this as a 'rape,' but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense," nor last year when the Daily Beast story came out where she said, "I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald. The story is totally without merit."
The 2005 comments of Trump on the video released Friday will have those who who don't like him and are easily offended jumping on the same high moral indignation train that many racists did during the Michael Vick dog fighting episode or the Don Imus "nappy-headed hoes" extravaganza. When the Daily Beast article came out last year, the knee-jerk reaction from Debbie Wasserman-Shultz summed it up pretty well. "Rape is rape. Full stop. End of story. There is no difference or division between 'forcible', 'legitimate', 'marital' or any other label Republicans slap on before the word 'rape'. All rape is a disgusting violation, and Americans have fought too long and hard for that to be acknowledged to still have it questioned in 2015." Clearly, the accusation is enough, and it should not be questioned. More than that, just the mere use of the word, even in the context of not having been raped, but in the animalistic sex context of a lack of love and tenderness during the act (i.e., bad sex) is enough for it to qualify as rape.
In that same 'easily offended and knee-jerk reaction' context, the media will absolutely pound this to a pulp, egging on the easily offended, the SJW, and those who don't like Trump to begin with. This will explode beyond the bragging of a known blowhard of his exploits with women to being essentially the same level of egregiousness as having raped multiple women in front of multiple video cameras.
Not surprising. They want to see what happens in the debate on Sunday, and see where they stand come Monday.
Moral indignation with a CYA wrapper.

Would be the ultimate slap in the face:

Speaker of the House supposedly throws Trump under the bus:

Well that one's just a made up lie. "GOP party elders" allegedly trying to convince Pence to drop out is not even remotely close to being "Pence is considering dropping out." There is no evidence whatsoever that Pence is considering dropping out. None.
I also blame the angry Republicans who voted for him instead of those wonderful citizens who were running against him.
