So let's get this over with and move on. In case you hadn't heard, the New York Post published pictures of a lesbian photo shoot featuring a young Melania Trump. It happened. They're out there. Google it (or not).
"I want to talk to you about something that is really . . . the subject is not worth mentioning on the air. I had no intention of mentioning it on the air, until I posted it last night on Facebook and read the comments. It's the comments that I have to talk about because it's not just on my Facebook page, it's anywhere where this story is running," Glenn said Tuesday on his radio program.
Glenn's Facebook post took a trip down memory lane to last year when the media buried alleged photos of Melania's lesbian porn photo shoot. He warned that the Trump campaign needed to get ahead of it and deal with it, so the photos wouldn't surface this summer, when Trump was the nominee.
"The reason why they didn't is because they were trying to get the Christian vote, and he was doing his Bible tour at the time. And so the lesbian story really didn't help his Bible-telling stories. The photographs are not something you would find in the center of your Bible," Glenn said.
Predictably, the Trump campaign and his supporters denied the photos existed, accused people of lying and even tried character assassination to destroy the accusers.
"In my case, 'You're crazy. You're an alcoholic. You're losing your business. You're desperate. He won't come on your show', et cetera, et cetera," Glenn said.
So the conspiracy turned out to be false and the so-called accusers were telling the truth. Conversely, the Trump campaign and its supporters were not telling the truth.
Glenn then shared the reason behind why he spent time on the pictures: We haven't learned our lesson that character matters.
"It's not about Donald Trump. It's not about Melania. I don't care what Melania did. I know she was a model. You know, I know people make mistake. There is forgiveness. I'm not talking about forgiveness. I don't need to forgive her for anything. She doesn't need my forgiveness, and I don't need to forgive her. It doesn't affect me," Glenn said.
So what does? How do lesbian porn pics make any difference on Donald Trump being president of the United States?
"May I show you? Because we haven't learned our lesson. Stu, if I say to you there is a scandal and it didn't happen, it's a vast conspiracy and then we find out it did happen and then you say, 'Well, it doesn't matter and it was about a personal thing,' who do you think of?" Glenn asked.
"Monica Lewinsky," Stu said immediately.
"Monica Lewinsky, okay, but that's a pattern. That's a pattern. It was never a pattern before Monica Lewinsky. I want you to listen to that carefully: It was never the pattern before Monica Lewinsky. Before Monica Lewinsky, it happened, the press found out about it, you would deny it, the press would prove it, and you would be done," Glenn said.
But Bill Clinton set a new precedent with his forceful denials for over a year. People became so tired of hearing about it they decided it didn't matter, and the pattern was set: deny, destroy, accuse, it's a conspiracy, it didn't happen, it did happen, it doesn't matter.
With Bill Clinton, it was his personal life, but the same pattern repeated with his wife and Benghazi and emails. It went from personal to professional, thanks to the Clintons.
And now the pattern is repeating with Donald Trump.
"Character makes all the difference in the world," Glenn said.
Now that Trump has the nomination, the press will no longer give him the airtime or support afforded during the primary.
"I don't know if you've seen what's happening, but the press is killing him now. You mark my words. That NBC documentary will come. They're holding it. It will come. They're killing him, and he's playing the same game that he was playing during the nomination period when they wanted him to win," Glenn said.
Every mistake Trump makes now will be dragged out forever.
"They're not going to let it go. You have to change your strategy. It's no longer the nomination process. You're the candidate now, and what worked for you then will not work for you now," Glenn said.
Glenn had one last piece of advice if Trump wants to win the presidency.
"Humble yourself and move on," Glenn said. "You need to change your strategy because just yelling and accusing people is not going to win the presidency."
