Trump Reminds Everyone He Fully Embraced ‘Really Great Guy’ Roy Moore, Who Would ‘Help to MAGA’

“Liberal Jones would be BAD!”

Ahead of his arrival at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida, his 81st visit to a golf club and 103rd at a Trump property since assuming the presidency, Donald Trump doubled down on his advocacy for Roy Moore.

Moore is accused by at least nine women of various acts of inappropriate behavior and sexual assault, including of a child, but the president insisted that his opponent Doug Jones was the “last thing we need in Alabama and the U.S. Senate.”

“I endorsed Luther Strange in the Alabama Primary,” the president tweeted. “He shot way up in the polls but it wasn’t enough. Can’t let Schumer/Pelosi win this race. Liberal Jones would be BAD!”

Donald Trump did indeed endorse Luther Strange, as he wrote. In fact, he tweeted 17 times to try and help Strange defeat Roy Moore, even traveling to Alabama to campaign for him. He lost. 

This led the president to delete three tweets about his endorsed candidate, a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act, and subsequently congratulate Moore.

“Congratulations to Roy Moore on his Republican Primary win in Alabama,” Trump tweeted on September 26th. “Luther Strange started way back & ran a good race. Roy, WIN in Dec!” 

The following day, he advised that he’d spoken to Moore for the first time. “Sounds like a really great guy who ran a fantastic race,” he continued. “He will help to #MAGA!”

Moore confirmed this:

The Senate hopeful reportedly has a history of hitting on teenaged girls as young as 14, and many of his accusers have advised they were 16 to 18 when he pursued them.

On Saturday, the New York Times reported that Trump has expressed his frustration that his daughter, top White House aid Ivanka Trump, publicly denounced the embattled Senate-hopeful.

The same report noted that Donald Trump, likening himself to Moore, is reportedly questioning the authenticity of the “Access Hollywood” tape in which he brags about sexual assaulting women.
