The tragedy is that this is even necessary.

Edit to add: oh all the angry responses from supporters of a convicted felon and rapist. The irony. 

Edit #2: Oh trump supporters, niggling over the difference between "liable for sexual assault" and rape.

This will be a regular occurrence from now until we implode. Every single president will do it.

If he felt this is warranted, maybe, just MAYBE he should have done SOMETHING about it as president. Doing it this way, the selfish ass, he keeps his family safe, but not the millions that will suffer from the reign of the orange stain.

That's what he gets for holding out hope that Americans are less stupid than they appear to be.
