With a win on confirming Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court over several complaints of sexual misconduct ….
Donald Trump seem intent upon extending that fight to cover his own issues of sexual misconduct complaints from several women…
He is doing what he has done since he began running for his current job….
Attacking the very foundation of anything that tries to hold him down or stop him from doing whatever he wants….
He attacking something dear to a good amount of American women?
