"Trump insisted on at least a three-to-two ratio of women to men at his bashes."

In 1993, Trump hosted the finals of the American Dream Calendar Girls pageant in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and a spot in the calendar meant modeling gigs and visibility. "None of the women competing wanted to miss a chance to impress a judge like Trump," wrote the Tampa Bay Times in a profile of Trump.
Trump apparently saw it differently. "What it was was a way to get his friends together and bring a bunch of pretty girls with them," said George Houraney, who owned the pageant with his then-wife, Jill Harth. Harth said Trump groped her during a Mar-a-Lago party in 1993, and then "kissed, fondled, and restrained" her during a visit to his daughter Ivanka's bedroom, according to the Globe. Harth sued Trump but dropped the lawsuit in 1997. She told the Post that dropping the suit was a condition of settling a separate breach-of-contract suit Houraney and Harth filed against Trump. Trump strenuously denied Harth's story.
The suit also mentioned other alleged sexual advances by Trump. The Globe described one encounter with a pageant hopeful:
In the predawn hours, a contestant named Lauren Petrellawho, at age 22, was 24 years younger than the 46-year-old Trumpallegedly found Trump, unannounced and uninvited, in her bed. "You said you don't sleep with men on the first date," he told her, according to the lawsuit filed by Harth. "Now it's the second date, and here I am."

(58,785 posts)willing, or at least very interested, females. Their security guards have to fend them off.
As for those girls who are new to this, even the most innocent knows her physical beauty is her ticket to admission and already has plenty of experience in being hit on. It would take only attendance at one party, or a brief conversation with someone who'd been there already, to learn what kind of men are at those parties and the role to be played.
There's a whole lot that's creepy about this, but it's not exactly being drugged and raped behind a bar. And one of the most important functions of those confidentiality agreements would be to protect the men from predatory, even vicious, females. Even fake stories can be turned into real money if the victim's famous or wealthy enough.

What I can't understand is how his numbers stay so high when stories like this keep coming up. Are his fans also deranged and mentally ill?

I haven't seen such a rabid collection of racists, sexists, and flat earthers so energized. Of course, I never lived in the south and have never experienced the fool wrath of groups like the KKK. Nor am I a person of color who would have been targeted by society as something less than human.
Trump is responsible for energizing these folks. And like toothpaste, it is impossible to squeeze back in.

(9,127 posts)I'm trying to imagine the Tsunami of outrage from right-wing propaganda organs, talk radio, Repulican politicians, Movement Conservative apparatchiki, and church pulpits had Mister Bill indulged in that sort of behavior.
And what sort of reaction we're going to hear from the Republican Party and their friends behind the pulpits and behind the broadcasters' microphones now that some history has re-emerged? Well, I'm sure they'll get back to us.
In the meantime, enjoy the gentle, distant chirping of crickets in the background.
But after all, IOKALAYAAR.

The basic characteristics of those PD's are pretty similar, being distinguished mostly by degree and somewhat subjective connotations attached to the terminology.
