Donald Trump actually said...

If I would have challenged the man, the media would have accused me of interfering with that man's right of free speech. A no win situation!

If someone made a nasty or controversial statement about me to the president, do you really think he would come to my rescue? No chance!

On my way to Iowa. Will be landing in Des Moines in two hours. See ya!

Am I morally obligated to defend the president every time somebody says something bad or controversial about him? I don't think so!
