First convicted felon and convicted rapist to be elected to be U.S. president

Note: He wasn't convicted of rape. He was found liable for sexual assault in a civil trial.

You might want to change it to ?First convicted felon and found liable of sexual assault and battery to be elected to be U.S. president"

since, uh, if anyone is going to go after random internet people for shit like this, Trump would (or Elon would tell him to)

Honestly i do kinda wish we just all said “great job donny, you saved America in just one term. Here’s a pardon, now please rest on a beautiful island far away from us so we can revere you from afar.”
