President Trump has been accused of 43 new allegations of alleged inappropriate behavior with women, including 26 instances of unwanted sexual contact in the new book All the Presidents Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator by journalists Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy. In the run-up to the 2016 election, Trump faced dozens of similar accusations, including attempted rape, groping, and forcible kisses. The book, according to an excerpt published in Esquire Wednesday morning, is a portrait of a predator who hides behind wealth and institutional power to frequently harass and abuse women. Karen Johnson, who spoke publicly about her allegations for the first time in the book, said she was at Trumps Palm Beach estate in the early 2000s, when Trump grabbed her and pulled her behind a tapestry. Im a tall girl and I had six-inch heels on, and I still remember looking up at him. And hes strong, and he just kissed me, Johnson said. When he says that thing, Grab them in the pussy, that hits me hard because when he grabbed me and pulled me into the tapestry, thats where he grabbed me.

And, as we see now, that applies anybody and anything else he can harass, abuse and use, no holds barred. He reveals the Privilege of the Oligarch that enriched and empowered him instead of being tried, convicted and imprisoned.
There are flaws in the system, (or are they features?) that put some people in positions that allow them to exploit people and circumstances in a way that would get common folks in serious trouble.

(12,265 posts)That statement he made that said "he could do anything he wants" is just what he has done all his life. When it didn't work, his posse of lawyers got him out whatever it was.

(5,810 posts)He truly believes he can do (or not do) anything he wants. He is about to find out just how far he can take that thinking.

(63,221 posts)I don't understand, he has admitted on live TV what he does to women and yet people still give him the benefit of the doubt. It makes me sick how these rich pigs can get away with things like this.
If he had ever done something like that to me, I honestly think I would have vomited all over him. I find him that disgusting. How can someone with such a tiny little mushroom dick have so much confidence when it comes to women?
