These are unfounded suspicions, after all. It simply is no business of his to share such unfounded accusations in the first place, no matter how wrong the target may have behaved several years back about the same issue.

He should also not say "his wacky future ex-wife" or "nut job" or imply that "law enforcement eventually will...?" ask some obvious questions about that. This seems to be public slander.

Ah, if Scarborough only had called Melania "Trump's future ex-wife", there would be such an outcry! Trump does it, it just disappears in an ocean of wrong.

Joe's wife has every right to be upset about her husband being dragged through the Trump Defense Gang's machine AND she can be mad about something he *might* have said 17 years ago.  Most people (who aren't "simpletons") can think about two things at once and not use one to defend Trump.  For anyone with even a shred of decency it wouldn't take the widowers letter to make them backoff.  And to be clear Trump did not back off...he just claimed "they" said it and he was simply repeating it.

How hard would it have been fro his defenders to just say: "That is awful.  He should apologize or delete the tweets himself and never speak of it again."  Instead of, you know, saying Joe's wife shouldn't be the one leading the charge against Trump because Joe might have said something once.

Hell, Twitter didn't even factcheck THAT post.  They just apologized for not taking it down.

Neither one of you knew how the widower was going to respond about Trump bringing back to light the circumstances of his wife's death. For all anyone knew he might have been happy that Trump brought back to light the vile comments Scarborough might have said did say on National Radio about the deceased. 

It is why I said ONCE it was made known that the widower did not appreciate the comments,Trump should apologize to the man.
