days, the campaign trail is now roaring back into full swing this morning. the first primaries are still five weeks away. based on his latest mud-slinging, it seems donald trump is already looking ahead to a battle with hillary clinton. donald trump ended his christmas cease-fire with a flurry of tweets and this new attack on hillary clinton. >> she's playing that woman's card left and right. and women are more upset about it than anybody else. including most men. >> reporter: trump intensifying his war of words with the democratic front-runner. targeting her husband's alleged sexual misconduct. and infidelity. tweeting -- hillary clinton has announced that she's is letting her husband out to campaign. but he's demonstrated a pension for sexism. so inappropriate. >> i think that donald trump or any candidate on the other side of the aisle would raise bill clinton as somehow a negative to their peril. >> reporter: but trump told abc's "this week" he's being backed by a movement. >> people are angry. they are angry.

works the one person most hated by republicans is hillary clinton. so, anything he does against her is helpful to him. to me it's like a scrambling quarterback who might have short-term success. in the end, their needs may go out. and donald trump is going to face some real problems if he wins the gop nomination in the general election. >> matt, this goes both ways clinton going after trump as well. any down side for her doing that? >> it helps her going after donald trump. he is the most hated political figure among democrats. it helps her there in the primaries. in the end just like donald trump i think she creates a problem for the general elections. where independent voters don't like this back and forth. so each of them, it helps them in the primary but hurts them overall in the general election. >> trump has been the dominant figure in the republican race for 2015, looking forward to 2016, who do you think can change that? >> well, you're right, amy, he has been the dominant figure he's led ever since he's got into this race.

bring down donald trump is donald trump. it has to be self-inflicting wounds. and up to this point he seems to have shot himself in the foot five or six different time but hasn't slowed down. the only other thing is, if he finishes second in the iowa caucus to ted cruz, we don't know what happens if he loses for the first time. that's something that we haven't seen donald trump face. >> all right, matt dowd, thank you so much. 2016 will be very interesting. let's turn to dan harris for the other top stories this morning. big news out of iraq the military there said it's recaptured the city of ramadi from isis fighters. this is a major victory, if true, for the iraqi forces who have been waging a fierce battle in recent days. they're now trying to defuse traps and explosives across the city. ramadi is considered a crucial step toward recapturing mosul. iraq's second largest city. back in this country, fires

papa don't preach welcome back to "good morning america." madonna's "papa don't preach" was one of her all-time hits. but right now, she's begging her son to come home, battling her ex for custody after 15-year-old rocco said he wants to stay with dad. abc's kanya whitworth has the latest. >> reporter: over the weekend, madonna cherishing time with her family. the queen of pop taking to social media expressing her love for her four kids. posting this picture with rocco, writing, merry xmas to the son-shine of my life. >> reporter: she's currently embroiled in a custody battle with her ex-husband guy ritchie over 15-year-old rocco, he's apparently living with his father in england and reportedly doesn't want to return to live with his mother in new york. but last wednesday, madonna asked a new york city judge to order his return from london. >> it's a little unclear what is

but it may be a case of a teenager growing up and having some rebellious spirit. recently, madonna said he really embodies the rebel heart. he's independent. he's growing up. it's hard to raise a teenager. it's hard under the microscope. >> reporter: madonna photographed leaving court last week. after the judge ordered the teen to return to the u.s. the teen will reportedly get his own court-appointed attorney, which might allow him to make a request to live with his father if he still wants to. >> since september, madonna has been super busy on her tour. but he's joined her on tour. he's been helping out backstage. she said he's had a lot of fun doing that. >> reporter: madonna and ritchie divorced in 2008. ending their seven-year marriage. richie remarrying. abc news has reached out both to madonna and ritchie and neither

kayna whitworth, abc news, los angeles. and let's bring back abc news legal analyst dan abrams. and dan, rocco is a child. but he's 15 years old. does his opinion matter when the court hears this? >> it absolutely does matter. but he doesn't have the final say. he can't say i want to stay with dad and he gets to stay with dad. he has to come home and have this litigated in new york court. which shouldn't take long when it comes to a custody battle like this. what will happen is, he'll be assigned an attorney, called a guardian who represents the child in this case, if he wants to live with dad, he'll tell his lawyer i want to live with dad, here are the reasons. he'll list the reasons. then, in all likelihood, if they agree these are good reasons, they would then recommend to the court, this is what my opinion is as representative of the child is in this case. when you're talking about someone who's 15, getting close to 16, that could have a lot of

there are a lot of issues here. beyond just i want to live with dad that need to be sorted out here. >> and you say likely this will take place in new york, any chance that guy ritchie could have this heard in britain, over in the uk? what impact would that have? >> he could try but, because the child is still considered a new york resident, i think almost certainly the british courts would say, they're dealing with this in new york. this is unlike kelly rutherford's case, they sent the kids to monaco and sort of invited the monaco court to take over. you don't have anything like that here. certainly, you would have a new york court resolving it. but it's certainly possible if rocco feels strongly about it. that could have a big impact. >> you say likely it will resolve soon? >> yeah, it should be very quick when it comes to something like this. >> all right. dan, thanks so much.

liberal-minded, intellectual semismart man was disturbing and disappointing. it's a very dangerous transition, fraught with anger, confusion, but most of all, the fear of rejection. >> reporter: it took reporting on another family's gay son for a canadian documentary for newman to understand his own son. an evolution perfectly captured by this spontaneous photo with alex's boyfriend. at the toronto gay pride parade. >> that moment meant everything. ten years of wondering was over. >> i have a dream as a father out there that is frightened by y, they want to love their child. they're confused. they're uncertain and insecure. i hope that this book in that man's hands allows him to feel safe to open the conversation with their child. >> reporter: for "good morning america," juju chang, abc news, toronto, canada. >> really brave. great to see kevin again and alex looks just like his dad. doesn't he?
