Donald Trump accused of sexual assault, Now 26 times

Postby Cactus Jack » Thu Sep 17, 2020 5:43 pm

A former model has come forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her at the US Open tennis tournament more than two decades ago, in an alleged incident that left her feeling “sick” and “violated”.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Amy Dorris alleged that Trump accosted her outside the bathroom in his VIP box at the tournament in New York on 5 September 1997.

Dorris, who was 24 at the time, accuses Trump of forcing his tongue down her throat, assaulting her all over her body and holding her in a grip she was unable to escape from.

LOL, It won't stick. The left are terrified of Trump winning a second term. But the problem they have is this. Those that are going to vote for Trump won't be swayed by these obvious ploys to besmirch his name. They know it's the dirty lefts way of politics. They know Biden (also being called Byeden) is a lost candidate. So they are trying their best to keep the swing voters to stay home. Did you see Biden's little chat with the Hispanics?
There was no one there. He was playing to an empty room.
All these states that having the blm riots going on are democratic run states. And the people that voted them in are sick to death of it and are now turning to Trump.
If Trump doesn't win then it really will be because the fix was in.
Rumours are starting to circulate around that Trump supporters are buying up ammunition because they expect the left to try start a civil war if Trump wins.
This election could be the end of the democratic party. As they are seen as the party that incited the riots and allowed their democratic run cities/states to burn.

Turning to Trump? The polls dont seem to bear that out. A lot of wishful thinking there, I feel. The mans an arsehole, and too many people have noticed now.

Seems a long time, but it's not unusual when the offender is a powerful figure, the victim will often be afraid to report it at the time especially if they're young or vulnerable in some way. Take the Savile business in the UK for example, and other cases of historic abuse at schools and other institutions.

this is one of the reasons that victims may not come forward, there is always someone questioning their motives or actions




imagine being raped by a powerful figure, then essentially being raped again by the media, their 'fans', and eventually the legal system - why would any victim put themselves through that


and yes I'm aware that rape isn't the accurate term, but it feels appropriate

He's not. Trump has a very litigious history which stopped a lot of people challenging him, he's now in the public eye and in plain sight.

Right before an election too. A more cynical person might think something is a bit fishy... :ooer:

A more cynical person will simply look at the four year long car crash that is the Trump administration.

Indeed. I'm not saying whether the story is true or not, I've never understood why people come forward donkeys' years later to make a claim.

Yes it's not as if there are 25 similar allegations and the alleged perpetrator has described the exact actions this woman is complaining of

So you’re saying she could be a copycat? Interesting theory...

Attention or money, usually. She’s probably in a load of debt.
