Same rhetoric, policies, party, etc.

Would he even make it pass “grab em by the p****” in 2016?

if DT was anyone else he would have been held with no bail for having 90+ pending felonies and having been convicted of 32 already. The fact that his passport has not been restricted is clear evidence that being “rich & famous” gets you different treatment.

There was a thing he said back in the early 2000s, and it was leaked around the 2016 election. He was talking about women, and said something to the effect of “When you’re rich, and famous, they let you grab em by their pussy”.

People at the time were angry that his views were that, but, honestly, that’s the life he’s lived. That’s the life he knows as reality. WE see it as disgusting, because he’s saying that women can be treated as sex objects, and that he’s ok with that. He see’s it as just the world we live in, because women approach him and treat THEMSELVES as sex objects. Those are the women that approach him, so that’s the experience he has with women. Women who only want him for his money.

And now we see it even applies to the courts. Maybe we should still be mad at him for having those views, but also understand why he has those views, and start holding society accountable. Maybe we should be angry at parents who don’t teach their daughters to have more self respect than to find some rich guy to bang for money.

Because at the end of the day, all trump is saying is “I get treated differently, because I’m rich.”

And as angering as that is to hear…he’s not wrong. He’s just an asshole.

…and what world are you living in that these women are approaching him at all? He had to get a financial arrangement to buy a marriage with Melania, a person who won’t fucking touch him, and slaps away his hand when he tries to touch her. He had to pay a shitload of money to have a chance with Stormy Daniels, same with Karen McDougal, and he paid even more money to try to cover up that he did.

Trump is a rapist and the way he treats women is the way of a rapist. You’re fucking deluding yourself if you think lots of attractive women have approached Donald Trump. Nearly every woman he has ever touched he has paid for the pleasure of doing so. Even when he has “grabbed women by the pussy” he pays through lawsuits. He just thinks that’s the cost of being a gross rapist.

Literally the only woman I can think of off the top of my head who we have proof who has moved on Trump is Laura fucking Loomer who isn’t exactly a beautiful woman, my dude.

I can’t believe a bogus post arguing that Trump is more of a ladies man than a rapist has so many upvotes.

My post never said anything close to him being a ladies man. My post is that trump views women as transactional property, and that sex is something he gets for free because he’s rich.

How did you read my post and think I was describing a ladies man??? His views are gross and a result of his experiences.

But your perspective just confuses me how you got 2 + 2 = potato.

He was tried and found guilty of raping a woman.

She wasn’t some sugarbaby coming on to him; she was going about her day and he decided that he could do what he wanted.

He also perved on teenage girls

That’s not true. He’s never been convicted of a sex crime. “Found liable” in a civil court and “found guilty” in a criminal court are VASTLY different, and require VASTLY different standards of evidence.

It’s important to be accurate.

That’s some A+ victim blaming right there. E. Jean Carroll didn’t do shit

So by this logic if some 12yo girl is flirting it up big time with a grown ass man and they fuck. Instead of being mad at the man for doing this, we should blame the little 12yo girl and her parents for not raising her better(?) Should we instead sympathize with the man cus “Oh that poor guy, all he’s ever known is having sex with children! Lets not blame him! Thats just his life and how he lives!”

It’s called having a set of functioning fucking Morals. I’m not going to jump off of a cliff- or better yet, get into a tin can to go and see the titanic just because “oh this is just what I’m exposed to, this is normal for me, other rich men do it so this is my life now.” He is a grown ass man in his 70’s now. He knows that adultery is wrong; don’t blame the woman for her already shitty lifestyle. You think those woman wanna fuck Trump and his soggy ass?? Woman don’t typically thrust themselves at old men with cash unless they are severely fuck outta luck and have a terrible life as is… or they just have a fetish for em. Prostitution is their JOB. And 9/10 they’re likely fucking slaves to a pimp or are being trafficked. Why tf do you think Trump was friends with Epstein??!

The not-so-subtle misogyny of equating adult women with children, depriving them of all agency, strikes yet again.

You seem to only blame one person, and my entire point somehow went right over your head (and quite a few peoples heads to be fair).

You seem to think I’m defending trump. Or normalizing his behavior. I’m not. I’m saying to try to understand someones behaviors, you have to see things from their perspective. If you can understand other people from their perspective, even if you don’t agree with it, you can begin to understand that persons actions.

Also if you only blame one person in a situation, you’ll always be wrong. There’s no such thing as a situation caused by multiple people that don’t have multiple people at blame.

In your example, yes I would blame the old guy, the parents, and the girl. Just not in equal amounts. No one talks about why the old guy is responsible for his share of the blame, because that much is obvious. If a tsunami hit Miami, and destroyed lots of buildings, you wouldn’t say “You know what did the damage? The water. I blame the water.” No, you’d blame city planners, and government officials for not executing a plan decades prior to build flood barriers, and design the city in a way that deals with hurricanes. We know what the natural disasters are going to do. We can plan around the disasters. But if we fail to do so, we don’t blame the hurricanes and tsunamis. We blame the people who failed to do anything about the tsunamis and hurricanes. Knowing they’re coming. Yes, we all know the disasters are to blame, but that much is so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said.

No, because his popularity with the cult of fools is primarily based on two things: 1. talking at a third grade level and 2. fear mongering about black and brown people.

I suppose you could add “appearing to be rich and successful” and some other ingredients in there. But I think the 2 mentioned are his biggest power sources by far.

Impossible to say. He certainly wouldn’t have been a real estate icon in the 80s and would probably not have been born a silver spoon trust fund baby.
