trump rape DNA

Kaplan called the post “entirely inappropriate,” and noted that Trump had previously refused requests from Carroll’s lawyers to produce a DNA sample that could be compared against DNA found on the dress.

“That isn’t even close to true,” Kaplan said, referring to Trump’s suggestion that Carroll “didn’t want to produce” the dress.

Kaplan also told Tacopina that it appeared Trump was “basically endeavoring” to speak “to the jury in this case” with his social media posts.

I guess he will have more time for his tanning routine.

In 2016 GOP avoided an embarrassing convention vote:
But Republicans narrowly avoided chaos. A motion to force a full fight on the floor of the convention in 2016 fell just short. At the time, the motion required the majority of eight delegations to sign their name to a document stating their support to put Ted Cruz’s name in nomination as an alternative to Trump. Although the eight-delegation benchmark was initially reached, backroom dealings and pressure led to various Republicans removing their names, and eventually, there was no rival for Trump on the convention floor.

Biden's America is a mess! Antifa and BLM are coming to your door! Migrant caravans camping in your yard!


Journalists have tracked down the pictures. They are all from the Trump era.

It may have been smart to run the civil rape case first. It's a civil case, but will make him look bad. Also, a civil case jury only needs 10/12 to get guilty verdict.

Somewhere in the middle of the interview Trump gets into hypotheticals. He did not know this woman. But yet if he did rape her she loved it. He watched Anderson Cooper interview her.

When Trump gets around to dictating his autobiography, he will have a chapter on this best rape ever. Even the victims all agree. The chapter will be "The Art of the Rape."

She was in her early 50s when raped.

In much of her initial testimony, Carroll, 79, was matter-of-fact, but when one of her lawyers, Mike Ferrara, asked her about the moment Trump allegedly inserted his penis into Carroll, she stammered, took a lengthy pause and began to cry. “I….I…I tried. I…,” she said, before pausing. “When you asked me what I did in that moment, I always think back to why I walked in there to get myself in that situation,” she said, crying. “But I did get out.”

“Extremely painful, because he put his hand inside me and curved his fingers. As I’m sitting here today I can still feel it,” she said, her voice cracking.

“Then what happened?” her lawyer, Ferrara, asked. “Then he inserted his penis,” she said, and the alleged assault lasted a few minutes. “I had so much adrenaline pouring through me at this time, I can’t recall if I said anything.”

After receiving physical threats, she said, she purchased bullets for a gun she owned.

She testified that she also received messages of support, but that the “vileness and the dirt” overwhelmed the encouraging feedback.

And she testified to one more consequence of the alleged rape: she said it left her unable to have a romantic relationship or to have sex in the years since it occurred.

Fails to remember who he raped. Woman gets millions.

I guess it could be true. He mistook her for Marla Maples in his deposition.

But a third astonishing moment of the deposition makes a factual point that could clinch the defamation charge.

“That’s Marla, yeah. It’s my wife,” Trump says in the video, pointing to a photo taken in the 1980s. He is pointing to a woman who is depicted chatting with him in a group that includes his then-wife Ivana and Carroll’s then-husband John Johnson. The woman he is pointing to—while calling her his wife—is Carroll herself. Trump realizes that he has mistaken his accuser for his ex-wife Marla Maples only when his lawyer corrects him.

His faithful will believe his denials, but there may be sufficient numbers on the margins who don't believe to make running him as a candidate for the GOP a risk...
