Trump defended victim-blaming with women in the military
At the Wednesday night candidate forum Donald Trump stood by his 2013 tweet that women in the military is a problem.
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?

…Trump stood by his past comment that military sexual assaults should be expected “when they put men and women together” in the US armed forces during an NBC-hosted forum Wednesday night. But he added that a “court system” should be set up in the military to better deal with what he called “a massive problem.”

“26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” Trump had tweeted in 2013…
When asked about the tweet by moderator Matt Lauer, Trump didn’t back down.
“I think that that’s absolutely correct,” he said during the forum.
When asked by Lauer if that meant the “only fix is to take women out of the military,” Trump said: “No, not to kick them out.”
“But something has to happen,” he said. “Right now part of the problem is nobody gets prosecuted. You have reported … you have the report of rape and nobody gets prosecuted.”
