Constant publicity on Trump hides hardcore rape news

Last edited Thu Aug 4, 2016, 02:58 PM - Edit history (1)

According NBC News Trump is 'Unraveling' to 'Break Glass' Mode. Only yesterday, he said that the handling of sexual harassment has "got to be up to the individual"

Why The New Child Rape Case Filed Against Donald Trump Should Not Be Ignored

An anonymous “Jane Doe” filed a federal lawsuit against GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump last week, accusing him of raping her in 1994 when she was thirteen years old. The mainstream media ignored the filing.

If the Bill Cosby case has taught us anything, it is to not disregard rape cases against famous men. Serious journalists have publicly apologized for turning a blind eye to the Cosby accusers for over a decade, notwithstanding the large number of women who had come forward with credible claims. And now history is repeating itself...

Donald Trump has a long history of debasing women he’s worked with, crossing the line on a regular basis. He’s taken lifelong joy in objectifying women, including his proclamation: “Women, you have to treat ‘em like shit.”

Trump relishes in calling women “dogs,” “slobs” and “pigs,” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lisa-bloom/why-the-new-child-rape-ca_b_10619944.html


A new Jane Doe child rape claim against Trump is consistent with verifiable facts and a powerful witness statement

At age thirteen she said Trump tied her to a bed and forcibly raped her, in a “savage sexual attack,” while she pleaded with him to stop. She also says he violently struck her in the face. She said after the violent attack, Trump threatened that if she ever revealed what he had done, she and her family would be “physically harmed if not killed.”

She also accuses Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein of being involved in the attacks. Media sources quote Trump saying, "I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York magazine in a 2002 profile of Epstein written three years before Epstein began to be investigated. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life."

Epstein is a convicted pedophile and registered sex offender.

Until he paid her off in a court settlement, Trump's ex-wife claimed, he raped her.

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.

There's usually more to dangerous, male perverts with wealth and power. More women will begin to come forward, unless Trump intimidates, bribes or kills them.

Donald Trump Won’t Stop Joking About Banging His Daughter
by Alex Griswold | 1:14 pm, September 10th, 2015
VIDEO 2051

With all the hullabaloo surrounding Donald Trump’s attack on Carly Fiorina in the newest edition of Rolling Stone, it’s gone largely unnoticed that in the very next paragraph, Trump makes an über-creepy sex joke about his daughter Ivanka Trump.

At 69, he can still carry on like the teen who was yanked out of prep school and delivered to Col. Dobias, the take-no-shit instructor at the military academy. After I met Ivanka and praised her to her father, he said, “Yeah, she’s really something, and what a beauty, that one. If I weren’t happily married and, ya know, her father?.?.?.?”

Yeah, no need to finish that thought.

and the bit about tiffany:

SEE IT: Donald Trump comments on 1-year-old daughter’s breasts in disturbing 1994 interview


No woman is too young for Donald Trump to sexualize — not even his own baby girl.

The Republican presidential frontrunner once discussed his 1-year-old daughter Tiffany’s would-be breasts in a disgusting interview on national TV. In 1994 episode of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” the bombastic billionaire — already known for making creepy comments about his older daughter — and his then-wife Marla Maples opened up about their infant daughter, Tiffany, footage dug up by “The Daily Show” showed.


“Donald, what does Tiffany have of yours, and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?” host Robin Leach asked.

Trump answered instantly — and he did not bring up his daughter’s eyes, nose or smile.

“Well, I think that she's got a lot of Marla,” he said.”She's a really beautiful baby, and she's got Marla's legs. We don't know whether she's got this part yet (gestures toward his chest), but time will tell.” Maples smiled as her husband crassly pumped at his chest while he talked about their little girl.

They attempt to connect Bill Clinton with Epstein to somehow spread the sex-scandal to Hillary. In response to a truly nude rendition of this picture, a Trump supporter claims sins of the spouse should not affect presidential candidates. HERE IS A PHOTO OF THE CURRENT MS. TRUMP FROM THE NEW YORK POST:

ruling that supports that claim.

A federal lawsuit filed in New York accuses Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump of repeatedly raping a 13-year-old girl more than 20 years ago, at several Upper East Side parties hosted by convicted sex offender and notorious billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein.

The suit, first reported by the Real Deal, accuses Trump and Epstein of luring the anonymous plaintiff and other young women to four parties at Epstein's so-called Wexner Mansion at 9 East 71st Street. Epstein allegedly lured the plaintiff, identified in the suit only as Jane Doe, with promises of a modeling career and cash.

Another anonymous woman, identified in additional testimony as Tiffany Doe, corroborates Jane's allegations, testifying that she met Epstein at Port Authority, where he hired her to recruit other young girls for his parties. Trump had known Epstein for seven years in 1994 when he attended the parties at Wexner, according to the suit. He also allegedly knew that the plaintiff was 13 years old.
http://www.snopes.com/2016/06/23/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit/

The young plaintiff waited too long for a criminal prosecution to ensue from the rape charges and then filed the lawsuit herself. Because the rapist were so wealthy and powerful, she wisely feared for her life. As for Trump quickly settling in court for an undisclosed amount of money, as he did with his ex-wife, in most cases women agree to withdraw rape allegations, during settlements. Even so, money cannot heal the emotional wounds rape creates.

This link details several, sordid Trump scandals, which ended up in court: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/06/donald-trump-scandals/474726/

It talks about people have egg on their faces for not knowing Cosby was a rapist. It describes Trump's misogyny and the rape charges in the same breath. It's incredibly loaded and essentially an accusation.

Unsubstantiated rape accusations are just that...Unsubstantiated. I've heard similar claims from the right about Bill Clinton raping people and I don't believe them one bit.

I dislike Trump, but let's stick to the numerous substantiated reasons to dislike him.

In similar cases, women - who were in fact raped - are usually required to retract rape accusations, after accepting monetary settlements from perpetrators.
