His commitments just expire without notice, and the people he made them to find out the hard way. Like - you can keep your doctor?

Have you ever read a criticism by a former wife?

That is so weak! Marla boasted it was the best sex she ever had! How do you know what arrangements or understandings people had in private? And what is your evidence that people such as Elizabeth Taylor, Larry King, Mickey Rooney, and Ronald Reagan couldn't show up for work? Einstein was seeing Elsa before he divorced Mileva and remarried. Does that mean his commitments to solve scientific problems and to enhance our understanding may be voided? Can his accomplishments be vitiated because you don't like him? You do despise Einstein--right?? You do believe that the world found out "the hard way" how incompetent he was--right? You may wish that all people adopt your particular mores as regards marriage, but pretending that divorced people cannot be more moral or more competent than (for instance) YOU---well, that is hubris, isn't it? And it is clearly a fantasy. History is replete with great men and women who remarried while still showing great commitment to their work and their dreams. And what does this carping have to do with the real world? Never mind divorce... About 19% of Democrats, 19% of independents, and 15% of Republicans admit to having an extramarital affair (not a divorce--and AFFAIR). And most people who have had affairs would have no good reason to admit to it. Do the math... Attacking someone because they remarried, in a world where half of the people you know have remarried and most of them have cheated in some way, or stolen an illicit kiss--well, that is just silly and shows you have no hand to play. Just say you hate the man, and we will all understand how you feel. But don't pretend a man who works 20 hours a day for months to reach the highest office in the land can't stick to his guns or commit to goals. A rather hollow attempt at smearing...and people will probably tell you so.

Heywood40.....You are making charges based on your own opinions, and not on any facts or even evidence. You are entitled to your opinion, but posting them here as unsubstantiated fact is not going to be allowed to continue. So let's get this straight: Not that anyone cares a hill of beans about Donald Trump's PAST PRIVATE LIFE, but the only known time that Trump "began an affair" while married was in his first marriage to Ivana Trump. His second marriage to Marla Maples was ended in 1997 when they separated. He met Melania in 1998 and they were married in 2005. Do I think he lived a completely (sexually) moral life up to this point? No, but we didn't hire a priest, pastor or spiritual advisor. And I personally, will not be casting any stones at Donald for anything he has done.
