We've heard reports of Trump mixing up a photo of his rape accuser, E. Jean Carroll, for his ex-wife Marla Maples, but now we have a video of that, too. Trump has always said that Carroll is not his "type," but that doesn't appear true.

As Joan Walsh at The Nation points out, things got even dicier for Trump when Carroll’s attorney, Robbie Kaplan, played parts of Trump’s deposition for the jury, including his reaction to the Access Hollywood tape, in which he bragged to host Billy Bush about grabbing women by the pussy" without consent.

Kaplan asked the one-term President about that.

“Well, historically that’s true with stars,” Trump said.

Kaplan asked Trump if he stood by his “grab them by the pussy” comment.

“If you look over the last million years that’s been largely true, not always but largely, unfortunately, or fortunately," he said.

Kaplan then asked, “And you consider yourself to be a star?”

“I would, yeah,” Trump answered.

Several times during the deposition, Trump made his key defense be that he couldn’t have raped Carroll because she wasn’t his “type.”

Yeah, what a pig, but he outed himself when he mistook his rape accuser with his ex-wife, and at least his narcissistic brain exposed him in the middle of a deposition. The mask always comes off.

Then he bizarrely said to Kaplan, “You wouldn’t be a choice of mine, either, to be honest. Wouldn’t in any circumstances have interest in you.”

Next thing you know, he's going to confuse a pic of Ms. Kaplan with an ex of his.

That's when Kaplan showed Trump a picture of Carroll from nearly 30 years ago, and he said, “That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife.”

“I take it the three women you’ve married are all your type?” Kaplan asked him.

“Yeah,” he replied.

Ohhhhhh.

Does Melania know that Marla is still his wife?

Can you help us out?
