"You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women..." Trump

From "Fear" by Bob Woodward:

"Trump gave some private advice to a friend who had acknowledged some bad behavior toward women.  

"Real power is fear.  It's all about strength.  Never show weakness.  You've always got to be strong. Don't be bullied.  There is no choice.

"You've got to deny, deny, deny and push back on these women," he said.  "if you admit to anything and any culpability, then you're dead.  That was the mistake you made.  You didn't come out guns blazing and just challenge them.  You showed weakness.  You've got to be strong.  You've got to be aggressive.  You've got to push back hard.  You've got to deny anything that's said about you.  Never admit." page 175 of 357, 41% into the book

That is clearly what Trump did with the dozen or so women that accused him of sexual harassment.   

Of course, truth is not something that ever enters the mind of the Republicans' president, just whatever is best for him.  

Et tu, Kavanaugh?
