    I believe he believes he’s not a pedo or a rapist.

    Does what he believes matter? Not one bit.

    Mm. Medically a pedophile is someone attracted to prepubescent children. Usually due to underlying brain malfunction.

    What trump is is a child raping abuser who does it for the thrill and power.

    Nixon: “I am not a crook!”

    Was a crook, after all.

    …multiple, repeated allegations and testimony.

    Hmmm…

      He feels safe enough to utter that shit. If only the left had a fraction of the right-wing propaganda apparatus. There should be three times the January 6 crowd taking him straight to the scaffold. Yet here we are watching a fascist dystopia installing itself, in slow motion.

        I don’t know how true this is (citations needed), but from hearing folks that lived through a fascist takeovers of democracy in other countries, we’ve really fast-tracked the process in many ways.

    O’Donnell then asked the president about his reaction to Allen’s rationalization that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

    “I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would, because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” the president replied. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

    “Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump interrupted.

    lmao gottem

    Trump: “I am not a pedophile. Those girls looked very mature and wore make-up, beautiful make-up.”

      To be pedantic, being a pedophile by definition is just a descriptor for people attracted to kids. People born that way can’t help it, but if they do rape kids they of course become fucking evil bastards. Genuine pedophiles can’t even seek help because being flagged as one will get everyone to understandably want to stone them to death, which makes someone being an actual pedophile but not wanting to be pretty tragic in a way.

      Now on the other hand - these psycho, rich rapist pieces of shit I doubt are all even really pedophiles, I’d assume raping kids is more of a sick perversion of feeling the power over someone so vulnerable, and the ability to be able to break that taboo just by having so much money. So less about being actually attracted to kids, and more about power and being incomprehensibly evil garbage. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of these putrid, vile piles of trash rape animals as well

        The Epstein Files aside, I have long ago stopped being surprised at the level of depravity he will stoop to. No matter how outlandish something is, he will surpass it, every time.

        So when they start talking about dead babies and such, my Critical Thinking Skills no longer say “That’s too crazy to believe,” they say “Well, he’s turned out to be guilty of every other outlandish thing that he’s been accused of, so why shouldn’t we believe this?”
