Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

      Also don’t forget to mention it at every opportunity. The rapist Donald Trump must be called exactly that so people don’t forget we’re talking about a convicted rapist who for some reason is not a registered sex offender which, of course, doesn’t mean he’s any less of a rapist, which Donald Trump verifiably is.

        He’s not a convicted rapist. It was a civil trial, not a criminal one. The trial decided that he did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll (but not legally rape, although the judge said it was rape despite the legal definition) but that resulted in a ruling for damages. The statute of limitations for a criminal trial had passed.

        So he’s not a convicted rapist, but the judge at his civil trial involving rape said he was a rapist. But that’s why he isn’t a registered sex offender.

            No problem. I wish he had been convicted obviously. And I seriously doubt that is anywhere near the only time he’s raped a woman. But like so many other things in his life, he’s gotten away with it.

          The problem is that calling it sexual assault doesn’t make it clear that he penetrated her with his penis without consent. The only reason it’s not “rape” is that it wasn’t a criminal trial.

            The reason it’s not considered rape is because it didn’t fit New York state’s archaic legal definition of rape.
