Donald Trump's History Of Sexual Assault

  In October 2016, video surfaced of Donald Trump, in 2005, saying, "Grab [women] by the pussy... they can't do anything about it." It was thought that this was the end of Trump's chances at the presidency. But America decided their sexist tendencies superceded the prospect of having a man who admitted to regularly committing fourth-degree sexual assault, a felony that can land one on the sex offender registry for 10 years-life. His attempts to dismiss the vulgar chat as "locker room talk," must originate from some locker room that I've never been to and would never wish to visit.

Unfortunately, this is just a scratch on the surface of Trump's history of sexual impropriety. He has been accused of varying degrees of sexual assault by more than 30 women and girls, and I say girls because some of the victims were underaged when the alleged events occurred. His wife Ivana accused him of marital rape in the 1990s, a very serious sex crime that is seen as invalid and almost never prosecuted. The dozens of allegations continued, ranging from the 1990s to while he was actively campaigning for the White House.

Many of them follow a pattern: wives of associates who stood a lot to lose by saying anything, having some sort of advance made at them, from Trump putting his hands between their legs to forcibly kissing them and groping them. The Justice Department has actively defended this behavior, taking over the case on Trump's behalf and threatening to sue women who came forward.

In almost every case of women coming forward, they are threatened with death and harassed, especially with the zealots Trump currently has rooting for him. Why they would concoct a conspiracy to ruin Trump at the expense of their own peace of mind and security can muster no plausible response. These women are profiles in courage, and Trump more and more exposes himself as the steroetypical corrupt billionaire that he is, content in his money and desperately hoping to win in 2020 while he still has immunity and the backing of the Justice Department.
