    1. I wish that were true but how many rapists who were convicted of rape were given suspended sentences by the judge? Way too many

    2. @Linda Wade 4 OK lol ya ok natural blonde ill bet you cant name even one of em cos that never happened

  1. What I would like to know is how Republicans explain this to their wives at the dinner table.

    1. They know who they are married too, they bury their heads in the sand and clutch their pearls.

  2. And a big shout-out to Robbie Kaplan who is the champion for women who have been wronged and wronged again.

  3. He literally incriminated himself with that deposition. He said that as a star he is entitled to get away with sexual assault. Who says that!!. That’s disgusting, I have daughters so as a father no you can’t!

    1. Teach sons to be respectful of girls. Teach daughters self-respect and self-defense. Because the sad truth is that some guys won’t be and as a female, you need to be prepared for that. IMO

    2. “If she weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
      Donald Trump, talking about his daughter.
      Do I need to say anything more?

  4. First he said he didn’t know who this woman was.Then you see the photo of him talking to her. He knew who she was. Denying it makes him look like a liar.

    1. this man pride’s himself in saying he “knows” such and such… and doesn’t. Seems the opposite is true when saying he doesn’t know them.

    1. Doesn’t matter….the battle cry of the fascist:

      “I don’t see no evidence”

    2. So if you were to get “raped” and “sexually abused” justice to you is to get money 30 years later in civil court and not see your abuser go to prison? That’s sad.

    3. @Christopher Stuart I don’t support Trump whatsoever, but he’s definetely not fascist. Takes propaganda inspirations from nazism, but that’s saying little, considering propaganda was one of their best tools.

      As a matter of fact, he’s not really even a conservative, he’s an average egotistical man thrown in an egotistical nation. Closer to liberalism than to conservadurism.

    1. ​@Kyle Kyle —– No it wasn’t or the Grand Poobah of Narcissism would not have sat for a deposition where he confessed to sexual assault on video. I jumped out of my chair when he did it. It was amazing.

  5. “I have absolutely no idea who this woman is.”
    I guess we should add demetia to the long list of Trump’s mental issues.

    1. @Tony If you sexually abused them you would think he would remember her unless he did so many women that he forgot who they all were. lol.

    2. There’s a fugging picture of him standing with her….and he thought it was Marla Maples! Hahaha….

    3. At least Trump knows what decade it is, and doesn’t try and shake hands with invisible people NOT standing next to him.

  6. Prosecuting Trump is often easy. You just have to use his own words against him. I guess he’s not such a “stable genius” after all.

    1. Yeah, Trumpster should listen to the words: “…what you say can and will be used against you in a court of law…”

  7. The jury should have added the provision that any time he further lies about her verbally or using any media the amount she is owed is increased by 1 M!!

  8. When you mistakenly say the victim is your ex wife….it’s kind of hard to say she not your type.

  9. Anyone remember back when Trump filed a lawsuit against a beauty contestant that accused him of sexual harrassment or groping? I had thought maybe it would come up in this lawsuit for an example of his repeated behavior.

    1. because that’s what is his M.O typically, sue the person making the claims, force them into a room with your scary lawyers, offer them money to sign an NDA to make the lawsuit go away. However NDAs do not actually prevent someone from reporting a crime, but it does make you less credible of a witness unfortunately.

      They did bring forward other victim’s of sexual assault/misconduct to show this pattern – not sure how much they needed them though after he admitted in his own deposition he doesn’t feel like obtaining consent applies to the women he pursues because he’s a “star”.

    2. He LOVED that pageant “stuff”. He is an animal of the worst kind …oh, that’s right, he’s a STAR !!!

    3. Here is a list if popular female influencers who have bragged about assaulting or sexually assaulting men:
      -Cardi B
      -Alex Cooper (call her daddy podcast)
      -Drew Affualo
      -Lana Rhoades
      -Riley Reid
      -Amy Schumar
      -Julia Fox
      -Francesca Farago
      -Corina Kopf

  10. Call me crazy but saying that stars have historically gotten away with this behavior isn’t the smartest legal defense.

    1. Especially when he followed that comment by saying, “unfortunately or fortunately.”

    2. You know how fair the trials were when the victim of a “false rape allegations” need to pay the attacker millions😂

    3. I feel like pornstars are his type. She doesn’t look like a pornstar. But 5 million is a great payoff. Good for her.

  11. I hope she is able to get that money. I have a feeling he will keep delaying and denying 😊

    1. I hope people will finally stop calling him “President Trump” which he hasn’t been since 2021 and start calling him “Sex Offender Trump”…

    2. @IIIRoman nope….lol. this trial was nothing more than a popularity contest. everyone can see it for what it is.

  12. Trump: “I have no idea who this woman is” – That’s not surprising, considering the fact that in his deposition, he looked at a photograph of her and said it was his wife. I guess he thought he sexually assaulted his wife in a dressing room.

    1. Satan pense que quelqu’un a été violé dans un magasin sans crier puis aller à la police Quelle femme rejetait Trump il y a 25 ans ? aucune, donc Trump n’a pas pu trouver de femmes dans son entourage pour le sexe qu’une dans la cabine d’essayage ? 😅

  13. There has never been a defendant like this. Some say this is the greatest defendant ever. Nobody has ever seen the likes of this defendant.

    1. you obviously new to court hearings, maybe only 12 year old and just received your internet access 😁

  14. The judge’s advice to the jury to keep silent is wise, and it’s clear he hopes to protect their privacy and (potentially) their lives.
