Oh, come on, David, this is ridiculous.  You have no proof that we were at war with Japan in 1944, post a link or you have RDS (Roosevelt Derangement Syndrome).  The allegations of sexual misconduct are all over the place.  Here's what comes up with Google AI after about 1.5 seconds of searching:

 

 

Since the 1970s, at least 28 women have publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, ranging from unwanted groping and forcible kissing to rape. In 2023, a federal jury found Trump liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll. Trump has denied all allegations against him. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
The allegations spanning several decades include:
E. Jean Carroll Case
  • Allegation: Author E. Jean Carroll alleged that Trump raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s.
  • Outcome: In 2023, a federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million. In a subsequent 2024 trial regarding further defamatory statements, a jury awarded Carroll an additional $83.3 million. [1, 2, 3]
Additional Public Accusers
  • Ivana Trump (1989): Trump’s first wife stated in a 1989 divorce deposition that he raped her, although she later stated she did not mean it in a criminal sense and that she felt violated. [1]
  • Jessica Leeds (Late 1970s): Alleged Trump groped her and attempted to put his hand up her skirt on a flight to New York. [1, 2]
  • Jill Harth (1992–1993): A former business associate filed a 1997 lawsuit alleging "attempted rape" and groping by Trump. The suit was withdrawn as part of a separate business settlement. [1, 2, 3]
  • Natasha Stoynoff (2005): A People magazine writer alleged Trump pushed her against a wall and forced his tongue down her throat at Mar-a-Lago. [1]
  • Summer Zervos (2007): A former Apprentice contestant alleged Trump sexually assaulted her in a hotel and made unwanted sexual advances. She filed a defamation lawsuit that was later dropped. [1, 2, 3]
  • Amy Dorris (1997): A former model alleged Trump forcibly kissed and groped her at a U.S. Open VIP box. [1, 2]
  • Alva Johnson (2016): A former campaign staffer filed a lawsuit alleging Trump kissed her on the side of the mouth without consent at a Florida rally. The lawsuit was later dismissed. [1, 2]
  • Stacey Williams (1993): A former model alleged Trump groped her at Trump Tower in a "twisted game" linked to Jeffrey Epstein. [1, 2, 3]
Beauty Pageant Allegations
  • Pageant Dressing Rooms (1997–2013): Several former beauty pageant contestants—including Tasha Dixon, Samantha Holvey, and Cassandra Searles—accused Trump of walking into undressing areas while they were naked or partially clothed during his time owning the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants.
  • Temple Taggart (1997): A former Miss Utah alleged Trump kissed her directly on the lips without consent. [1, 2]
Other Notable Incidents
  • Access Hollywood (2005): During an unaired 2005 Access Hollywood interview, an audio recording captured Trump bragging about forcibly kissing women and grabbing their genitals. Trump dismissed the remarks as "locker room talk" and repeatedly denied ever acting on them. [1, 2]

  Oh come on now - apparently he attempted to or did kiss most of the women you cite here - hardly classifies as assault, much less attempted rape. Walking into a room full of women is what - an assault? Total bullshit. His "bragging" does not constitute nothing more than locker room talk, which almost every man has done and continues to do to this day - no assault or rape here either. Now for the "big" one - E. Jean Carroll -- this is the most unbelievable one. She could not remember when it happened, waited 25 years to claim he raped her, = a total unverifiable farce. Read here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll_v._Donald_J._Trump  -- and see what a total farce the whole event was. Even his ex-wife recanted her original claim. The majority of these "crimes" equate to women claiming he attempted to "kiss" them - oh, what a crime. This "crime" happens everywhere, everyday since time began. Lastly, neither you, me or anyone else has any eye witness proof of these crimes. So go ahead and spew unverifiable gossip - for that is what you TDS infected morons do. Being a man, I find it hard to place much value on the "crimes" you cite - and most any other man would laugh at the accusations because women and men, since time immortal, have had encounters that men and women have when going thru life.

Defending Trump for these crimes is disgusting.

David, what kind of man would try to kiss an obviously unwilling woman?  Would you?  I'm no angel, but I've never done anything like that, even when I was a teenager.

 

And David, of course there were no eye witnesses, there hardly ever is in these kinds of situations.  And yes, you didn't witness it and don't have firsthand knowledge, but then again, you didn't witness the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?  Do you have any doubt that that happened?

What kind of woman would put herself in a position where a man would try to kiss her? How would you know if they were "unwilling"? The aftermath at Pearl Harbor spoke for what happened - what these women "said" happened had/has no proof - as you have already alluded to. Aren't you stretching things by comparing the actual attack on Pearl Harbor to a kiss on the cheek?

You approve of sexual assault. Got it.

 

These women were unwilling because they said so. Millerpiggy, when a woman, or any person, is touched without their consent, that's assault. Period.

I think this statement speaks for itself.
