Don't forget that Trump is also a rapist
Also don't forget to mention it at every opportunity. The rapist Donald Trump must be called exactly that so people don't forget we're talking about a convicted rapist who for some reason is not a registered sex offender which, of course, doesn't mean he's any less of a rapist, which Donald Trump verifiably is.
He's not a convicted rapist. It was a civil trial, not a criminal one. The trial decided that he did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll (but not legally rape, although the judge said it was rape despite the legal definition) but that resulted in a ruling for damages. The statute of limitations for a criminal trial had passed.
So he's not a convicted rapist, but the judge at his civil trial involving rape said he was a rapist. But that's why he isn't a registered sex offender.
Thanks for the clarification, I didn't know all those details.
No problem. I wish he had been convicted obviously. And I seriously doubt that is anywhere near the only time he's raped a woman. But like so many other things in his life, he's gotten away with it.
The problem is that calling it sexual assault doesn't make it clear that he penetrated her with his penis without consent. The only reason it's not "rape" is that it wasn't a criminal trial.
The reason it's not considered rape is because it didn't fit New York state's archaic legal definition of rape.
A child rapist at that. Just look at all the evidence with him and epstein.
You know what, I haven't looked into any connective evidence beyond him on a flight manifest going to Epstein's island. What other evidence is there?
He's in epstein's black book. https://archive.org/details/jeffrey-epstein-39s-little-black-book-unredacted/mode/1up
He's quoted saying he loves epstein. Great guy. Throws great parties with young women.
Photos of him with epstein at the parties.
Court case with him and epstein right before he ran for president, where they were defendants for raping 2 children. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-introduced-trump-14-ghislaine-maxwell-accuser-says-rcna7253
You mean there was a court case with Trump and Epstein where Trump and Epstein were the defendants for rape?
Ya. I couldnt get a pdf link where it wouldnt want to download on mobile. But a quick google search can pull it up.
The case was dropped. The accuser pulled out, believed to be because of death threats she was getting for accusing Trump.
I think I remember reading about that.
https://newjerseylaw.net/news-event/rape-and-sexual-misconduct-lawsuit-against-donald-trump/
That article is from right after the lawsuit was filed, 2016, and a lawyer for the New York victim center was already saying that this is just going to hurt the accuser more than it will hurt Trump because she could get her harassed.
