ShitGibbon Signs Larry Nassar-Inspired Sexual Assault Bill Behind Closed Doors

A good idea, but why behind closed doors? Is ShitStain afraid of alienating the kiddy diddlers among his base?

The bill has a three-pronged approach to protecting athletes and regulating governing bodies of amateur athletics.

First, it requires coaches, trainers and others to report any sexual abuse allegation to the police within a 24-hour period. Secondly, the legislation extends the statute of limitations to up to 10 years after a victim realizes he or she was abused. And lastly, the bill limits athletes under the age of 18 from being alone with an adult who isn’t their parent.

“How a serial predator like Dr. Nassar could have preyed on so many young girls for a long time in such a flagrant fashion is appalling,” Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) said during a House debate of the bill in January.

Trump signed the bill behind closed doors in the Oval Office as his administration deals with its own abuse scandal. White House staff secretary Rob Porter and speechwriter David Sorensen both resigned last week after facing allegations of domestic abuse. Trump ― who has been accused of sexual misconduct by 21 women ― defended Porter even after the allegations against him were made public and only said Wednesday that he is “totally opposed to domestic violence of any kind.”

Donnie dipstick's coffin. When is our Lame Ass Media going to call it like it is. It is all about Trump's Image and Trump's promotional value to extrapolate money from the unsuspecting populace .

It's Show Time Baby,and for him to sign a anti abuse piece of legislation in public would injure his tender feelings.

He is after all,a Bully and has to look and play the character he created. Showtime Baby!
