Trump touts Mike Tyson's support in city where he committed rape

During one of his abrupt verbal asides on the political stump Wednesday night in Indianapolis, Donald Trump proudly noted another endorsement from the sports world.

Mike Tyson.

The former heavyweight champion, of course, has a history in Indianapolis. It was here where he was convicted of raping beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington in 1992 — and subsequently spent three years in prison.

"Mike Tyson endorsed me," Trump told the crowd. "I love it. He sent out a tweet. Mike. Iron Mike. You know, all the tough guys endorse me. I like that, OK?

"But Mike said, 'I love Trump. I endorse Trump.' And that's the end. I'm sure he doesn't know about your economic situation in Indiana. But when I get endorsed by the tough ones, I like it, because you know what? We need toughness now. We need toughness."

Trump was a supporter of Tyson's after the conviction, saying that "to a large extent" he was "railroaded." Trump had a financial interest in the case because Tyson's fights made money for his hotels.

Trump is despicable ... obviously they have a history together ... Trump stated that Tyson was railroaded  because Tyson made Trump money, therefore he gave Tyson a pass.

Quote
After boxer Mike Tyson was sentenced to six years for raping an 18-year-old beauty queen, Donald Trump responded by arguing on national television that Tyson had been “railroaded,” noting that she had gone to Tyson’s hotel room on her own.

“You have a young woman that was in his hotel room late in the evening at her own will,” Trump told NBC News in 1992, in a clip dug up by Buzzfeed. “You have a young woman seen dancing for the beauty contest—dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.”

“It’s my opinion that to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case,” Trump said.

Purely by coincidence, Trump’s advocacy for Tyson came at a time when he stood to make a huge profit if he was released. As Mother Jones noted in December, “Tyson’s bouts had been highly lucrative for Trump’s casinos, which paid millions to host the fights but reaped millions more in revenues from the surge in gambling that resulted during these highly anticipated events.”

What did she expect would happen?  Dancing and smiling and having a vagina and all?

“You have a young woman seen dancing for the beauty contest—dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.”

How do you not rape a happy, smiling, dancer?  It can't be done.

And there you have it.  A Trumpster claiming to be smarter than the jury that found Mike guilty. There is not one single thing they will be critical of Trump about, not one.   If the Donald were to say the best thing to do with an unwated litter of puppies would be to put them in a sack and drown them, they would say he's right.

I have from fuzzy memories from that period in time (I was into Quaalude and tequila sunrise cocktails) but it was clear that Tyson was guilty on those charges. People bent over backwards to get him off and he still was found guilty.

Let's see how long it takes Trump to walk this back.  He may have just surrendered Indiana, and with it the nomination.  I hope he doubles down.
