As Trevor Noah said...makes me wonder about the type of woman he rapes. He's a rapist, just arguing about who.

I’ve heard and read it a lot. Even some women say it.

Yes, but rapin' BROWN presidents.

There are also people who are so limited in mobility and income as to be excluded from any "dating" paradigm the media will acknowledge. I suspect this is the core "incel" demographic, whether they acknowledge it or not.

well, her mother did...

"...ex-wife Ivana Trump alleged privately and legally he raped her in 1989. After the divorce, she has publicly stated "but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense", and that the claim was "without merit." A confidentiality clause also prevents her discussing the marriage or the divorce."

Like mother, like daughter, likely...

While I agree with you in general, I do believe that Trump is a teetotaler, mostly cause of his brother Fred, Jr. dying of alcoholism. It is said that his maniacal drive to win at all costs was in direct opposition to seeing his brother's life of failure. So Donnie determined not to be anything like his brother, and that included not drinking.

Not to dispute this is any way, but how often does one actually hear that?

In my impression, a large part of the 'culture' in this shite-filled country is still full of the 'lie back and enjoy it" type, as is proven on a nearly daily basis, and would likely be codified by the Supreme Court if Just-us Brett "Bart" Kavanaugh had his way.

I don't know - he is a paid-up member of The Deplorables (Christian Dominionist Division).

You think Trump would cause a 'Handmaid's Tale' kind of situation?Pence is already living it...

While not a rapist, some years ago in my fairly liberal town a man who was well-known to be a philanderer who treated women who crossed him like shit.He ran for mayor as a Dem, and actually was beaten by the Repub cause so many people knew how disgusting he was/is.

Unfortunately some years later, our first woman mayor, also a Dem (and also, sorry to say, a moron) made him the City Attorney.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose...

"Remember, only about half of the Trump Chumps are Deplorables."

I dispute that most fervently. You're giving too many bad people too much credit.

I'd wager much closer to 75%.

Well, with the Trump admin doing its best to shred any and all environmental regulations, Lake Erie will be a bay off the Atlantic Ocean any day now!

Ok ok fine. President Pete Campbell? No, he actually had a redemptive arc.

If you heard her whole story they were at the store for a while and she was trying to show him handbags and other non-clothing/lingerie items. When they did get to the dressing room part she most certainly did not expect him to go in with her. He shoved her in then attacked her and there was quite a struggle. It was not a cheesy rom-com where 2 crazy kids are attracted to one another and spend an afternoon in soft focus with romantic background music making googly eyes at each other and end up doing something fun and "naughty" in the dressing room.tl/dr: she was assaulted by trump, as many others have been. So far almost 2 dozen have come forward. He admits he forces himself on women, How many more do you think there are?
