Moreover it proves who and who isn't above the law....to wit: Hillary Clinton....
This could be a problem if he plans to confront the Bill/Hillary rape issue.
Trump was smart to sing the praises of Mike Tyson. He is a great guy. Go Trump!
Friends, Romans, countrymen. Lend me your....
Maybe the media could take up their hissy fit with Virginia’s governor who just added 200,000 felons, including rapists, to their voter rolls,
We’re talking about the guy who sells chickens...right?
Part of Trump’s plan for the black vote. Tyson is widely regarded as having been railroaded.
Trump, then questioned if the rape even had occurred, suggesting the victim made it up.
“I heard about a girl that late in the evening knocked on his door, was taken in, was raped perhaps, perhaps not,” said Trump. “I don’t know. Again, I think he was badly represented, but I did see that number one, she knocks late in the night. Number two, she’s dancing in a beauty contest at 8 a.m. I saw the tapes. I see the big smile on her face. She’s dancing happily at 8 a.m. Then Mike Tyson’s in jail for four, five, or six years. I had a real problem with that case. I had a real problem with Mike Tyson’s lawyers. I had a real problem with Don King. I just think that he was really fed out to the wolves.”
Trump noted Tyson still denied the charges and said he believed if Tyson hadn’t testified would have been found not guilty.
Probably a bad decision to publicly announce Tyson's support.
“Donald Trump Attacked By The Media Over (fill in the reason)”
God Bless Mike Tyson...God Bless Donald Trump....
In his prime, the greatest fighter of all time. Muhammad Ali wouldn’t have had a ghost of a hope.

Everyone knows Mike Tyson was railroaded. That girl’s testimony was absurd, but the jury was all too happy to swallow it. Tyson is not terribly bright, and had the worst defense team in history, which didn’t help.
If Trump believed Tyson wasn’t convicted of rape, he was wrong.
That said, I remember having a big fight with my family over this conviction at the time. Although I haven’t read the trial transcripts, I did read numerous newspaper accounts. Tyson’s trial was going on at the same time as the rape trial of a nephew of Ted Kennedy. Tyson was convicted, Kennedy’s nephew was not — surprise, surprise! But I thought the verdicts were racially motivated and that they should have been the opposite of how they were decided.
Tyson was accused of rape by a woman who voluntarily went to his hotel room at 1:00 in the morning. They had been drinking. What did she think was going to happen? Woke up the next day and came up with a deep pockets scenario, is my opinion based on the news reports I read at the time. But the wealthy, famous black guy was convicted and spent time in the slam, even though, to my eyes, she asked for it or even planned it.
The Kennedy nephew had taken a woman he met in an upscale lounge to the family compound in Hyannis Port, offering for her to see that famous place and to meet his Uncle Ted, who was there that evening. Later in the evening he asked her if she would like to take a walk on the beach — during which he pulled her down onto the sand, tore at her clothes and forced himself on her. She had documented bruises and scrapes, and complained of sand forced into her vagina and mouth. But the wealthy, famous white guy went free and the woman was further humiliated.
That doesn’t make Trump right in his statement. But I’m just sayin’...
