Summary: This article/video shows Melania Trump defending her husband about the recent tape of Donald Trump speaking crudely towards women. She says it's inappropriate but its just boy talk and the other guys were just egging him on. She believes if he knew he was on camera, he wouldn't have done this. I believe this shows the real him, not the face he puts in front of the camera. She implores that he never talked this way at home! Worst of all, was her claim that it's just "boy talk!"
She states,"When they grow up and they want to sometimes show each other, oh this and that and talking about the girls".
Analysis/Synthesis: I feel like this video just makes people more upset! It made me upset that she said she didn't like it, but basically saying its common for men to talk to each other this way. This is terrible and no president should speak this way! Why should he get female votes when he has absolutely no respect for women. Also, I don't think it was the best move to defend him and contradict herself. This is somewhat similar to Hilary Clinton defending her husband Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal. Clinton stayed with her husband, and defended him but she wasn't the one doing the fault. This doesn't quite make since to me that both of our major choices for candiates aren't that great of people, but as you look back at our past presidents many of them were not trustworthy people. Then again, we've had some honorable presidents who have done great things for our country.

It is disgusting to see how people will go great lengths to excuse the inexcusable. Donald meant what he said, there are not multiple ways to interpret it, and there is no way around it.
