Of course Trump blamed the victim

Who would expect anything else? Heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson was convicted of raping a woman named Desiree Washington in a notorious case back in the 90s. Mother Jones reported a few months back that Trump floated a plan to keep him out of jail by having him pay the victim.
Now there's this from Buzzfeed:
“You have a young woman that was in his hotel room late in the evening at her own will,” Trump said in an NBC Nightly News video package obtained by BuzzFeed News through the Vanderbilt University Television News Archive. “You have a young woman seen dancing for the beauty contest—dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.”
“It’s my opinion that to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case,” Trump also said in the package, which aired on Feb. 21, 1992.
Yeah sure ...
