Trump Has His Own 'Rape' Problem (trigger warning)

By now, you have problem seen Trump's unfounded allegations (i.e. fiction) against Bill Clinton.

Let's just review Trump's own 'Rape' problems:

Ivana Trump accused Donald of rape during a deposition for their divorce proceedings:

Ivana Trump’s assertion of “rape” came in a deposition—part of the early ’90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.
The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.
“Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.
What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants... http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/27/ex-wife-donald-trump-made-feel-violated-during-sex.html


I left the quote there due to trigger factors. Feel free to read on at the link if you must. It's pretty disgusting stuff.

He was also accused of taking advantage of a teenage sex slave in the 1990's... http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-rejects-categorically-false-charges-raping-teen-girl-article-1.2618137

Seriously, it seems he is going to accuse Bill and Hillary of everything that he himself has done... WTF

With his attitudes towards women and the highly sexualized nature of his dominance politics there have got to be more. Whether they get any traction with the media is another thing. The barrier, for these things, is much lower for a Democrat than it si for a Republican.

However, Shrub had form for "encouraging" lady friends to have abortions and that never got very far.

The same DUers who are calling Clinton a rapist will remain silent when their hero Trump is called out.

He knows he is very vulnerable so being a POS generally, and a republican specifically, he is preemptively muddying it up by stinking Hillary with it ...

Sadly, America in the year 2016, a "good" move on his part.
