His base does not consider this rape.
His base thinks that this is fine.
His base more than likely has this shit going on in their households.
His base live in places where underage girls are forced to marry their rapists when they are pregnant, so as to absolve the rapist of their crimes.
His base lives in places where girls are broken in by family members.
His base think girls should be married at young ages without even had a kiss - or an education.
His base believe girls and woman are owned by them to do with as they will.
His base believe they are asking for it.
His base believe all this is okay.
Just sayin'

(10,061 posts)We do have Trump on record lots of times about lusting after young women, wanting to date them when they mature, fantasizing about girls once their long legs and breast develop, moving in on attractive adult women "like a bitch", popping tic tacs and grabbing and kissing woman at will, comment how certain adult accusers are/were not his type, etc. Pretty sleazy stuff to say in public.
Then we also have numerous reports of Trump walking in on underaged contestants at his beauty pageant. Most contestants agree it happened and it made them uncomfortable, and Trump bragged about walking in on them in various states of undress on Howard Stern. We do not have any allegations of rape from any those contestants that I have heard of? One could imagine a "you do this for me and you make the finals"-type proposition, but no one so far has come forward?
I think Trump prefers his woman younger than himself, but more mature in development. He certainly felt the need to turn in wives for newer models.
Trump, no doubt, is a sexually harassing sleaze, but perhaps not himself a pedophile.

I am not understanding your post?

(10,061 posts)It has been reported, even here on DU, that incident might never have occurred and be a set up.
As much as I despise Trump, there is enough real shit he has done to go after him for. And, if the accusation can be disproven, watch Trump use it to insinuate all of the other credible sexual harassment accusations are also false.
That was the point if my post. There is enough credible evidence to label Trump as a sexual harasser. Trump has effectively admitted to sexually assaulting adult females. I do not feel there is enough evidence that he is a pedophile.

(7,694 posts)tectonic plates of justice toward women begin to shift. Look at the Bill Cosby sentence and Harvey Weinstein's misery, the courage and strength of the US Gymnastic team speaking to their rapist in court, to his face. Note how far the me-too movement, for all its power and occasional blunders, has come in short time. Perseverance furthers.
