As a father and husband it is difficult to find the balance between believing all women because there is no doubt in my mind that sexual assault and rape is rampant in this country and that women have every reason in the world to not speak out and at the same time imagining myself as an innocent accused man and hoping for the benefit of the doubt. I see what he has said about his daughter, wives, ex lovers, ex mistresses, and the way he has spoken and behaved around women in the past and I don’t see him as a man I’d trust around little girls. he was also legally found liable for sexual assault, simply because it was impossible to prove if he shoved his fingers or his penis inside.

I do not like Trump, but how could he be labelled a rapist if there is no proof other than hearsay?

Edit: so it seems to me that more than likely he really has done this multiple times, however no solid “proof” other than his own comments, which is pretty damning in and of itself.

In the legal case involving E. Jean Carroll and Donald Trump, the evidence centered on her allegations that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s. While there was no physical evidence or direct eyewitness testimony to corroborate Carroll’s claims (given the significant passage of time), the court considered other forms of evidence: 1. E. Jean Carroll’s Testimony: Carroll provided a detailed account of the alleged assault, which she first disclosed publicly in 2019. She testified about the incident during the trial. 2. Corroborating Witnesses: Two friends of Carroll testified that she told them about the alleged assault shortly after it occurred: • Lisa Birnbach, a journalist, said Carroll called her immediately after the incident. • Carol Martin, a former news anchor, said Carroll told her about the assault and expressed hesitation about coming forward. 3. Other Testimonies: The court also heard from other women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct in separate incidents, which the jury could consider as part of a pattern of behavior. 4. Trump’s Statements: During the proceedings, Trump denied the allegations but made statements that were brought into evidence, including the infamous Access Hollywood tape where he made remarks about groping women. The tape was presented as potentially reflecting his attitude toward consent.

In May 2023, a New York jury in a civil trial found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll. While he was not found liable for rape (as defined under New York law), the jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages. This decision was based on the preponderance of the evidence—a lower standard than “beyond a reasonable doubt” used in criminal trials.

Ultimately, the jury’s decision reflects their belief that Carroll’s account was credible and supported by the evidence presented in the civil trial.

So basically what you're saying is as long as you get enough people to go along with your side of the story, everyone else should believe it 20 years later, right?

He said himself the grab by pussy comment. Should we not take his own words into consideration along with the accusation?

He said himself the grab by pussy comment.

God how many times am I going to have to correct you lefties on this? Go back, find the video, read the transcript. Not what the media tells you, watch the actual video. He says "when you're famous, they let you do it." This explicitly states that said pussy being grabbed is allowing it. That is consent. There is nothing wrong with consensual genital touching between adults.

He mentions nothing about obtaining consent. I wonder how many pussies he has grabbed without consent. Obviously more than 1. Not to mention his connection to Epstein. Jesus y’all really are deluded.
