2020 US Presidential Election

If he was actually "assaulting" women, don't you think that they'd have called the police? He has the ability to know when his attentions are not welcome, I'm sure. He has so many opportunities, there's no reason for him to force himself on an unwilling woman.

I'm sorry, that it is one of the funniest things I've read on all of TT. He's too hot to be a rapist? lmao. Do you actually pray to the guy? You know sexual assault is motivated by power and control more so than just getting laid, right?

By the way, Bill Clinton has endless opportunities. The dude is still dirty as sin. Why even acknowledge this though? I'll be called a Marxist soon.

'Play it down': Trump admits to concealing the true threat of coronavirus in new Woodward book

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump admitted he knew weeks before the first confirmed US coronavirus death that the virus was dangerous, airborne, highly contagious and "more deadly than even your strenuous flus," and that he repeatedly played it down publicly, according to legendary journalist Bob Woodward in his new book "Rage."

"This is deadly stuff," Trump told Woodward on February 7.

In a series of interviews with Woodward, Trump revealed that he had a surprising level of detail about the threat of the virus earlier than previously known. "Pretty amazing," Trump told Woodward, adding that the coronavirus was maybe five times "more deadly" than the flu.

I hate to break this to you, but over half the women in this country, or more, would drop everything, to date Donald Trump. Even if they disliked him, they'd do it because of the possibility he'd either marry them, or reward them in some way, for their time and company. Don't believe it? Well there's no way to prove or disprove it, but if I've learned anything in my life, it's that money talks, nobody walks. I am sure that a huge percentage of women would dump their husbands or boyfriends, in a New York Minute, to marry him, if the opportunity arose, even if only long enough to collect a nice, fat divorce settlement.

There is a trial right now with E. Jean Carrol that is credible enough for the judge to ask for a DNA sample.

Half of women? Jesus, you have an interesting opinion of women I can say that.

I've answered many questions, more than enough

More like you spin more rationalizations than a yarn factory.

Why does Trump continue to accept donations from White Supremacists? And why does he refuse to condemn them?

Why did he call countries in Africa shithole countries?

If Trump is going to do away with Police Unions, then why do Cops love him so much?

Why did Trump brag about assaulting women?

Why has Trump repeatedly insulted Anthony Fauci for doing his job? Why did he leave the W.H.O in the middle of a pandemic?

Why did he have the police assault peaceful protesters all for a photoshoot with a bible?

It's possible that I may have missed your responses, but it seems you keep dodging these questions.

Why does Trump continue to accept donations from White Supremacists? And why does he refuse to condemn them? - Trump is not a white supremacist (which was also shown in the RNC convention) but I believe he will accept all votes. Many people are inaccurately grouped as "white supremacists" (such as people who want border control, for example). He has denounced the KKK type white supremacists.

Why did he call countries in Africa shithole countries? Many of these countries are, due to poverty, lack of infrastructure, lack of law and order, and corruption

If Trump is going to do away with Police Unions, then why do Cops love him so much? Because Trump doesn't want to defund the police and take away their jobs.

Why did Trump brag about assaulting women? Has Trump assaulted any women (like Clinton, for example)? There are a lot of false allegations. Regardless, I have to admit that he has been disrespectful towards women in his "locker room" talks.

Why has Trump repeatedly insulted Anthony Fauci for doing his job? Fauci cannot be trusted. For example, a lot of studies show that HCQ works if used early and properly but he was vehemently against this drug.

Why did he leave the W.H.O in the middle of a pandemic? WHO, along with China, are the whole reason why we have the pandemic. They should have warned the world sooner of the severity of the virus.

Why did he have the police assault peaceful protesters all for a photoshoot with a bible? The photoshoot with the Bible was pointless. Regardless, the protestors should have moved away to ensure the safety of the President; they were given several warnings. We all know these protestors would harm him if they could.

 

[GlennS]

Not to defend Trump, but many world leaders have downplayed the threat of the virus.

People sexually assault people because they enjoy the power it gives them, him having other options is really irrelevant. Your logic here would mean no celeb could ever be a rapist.

I am fully aware that most politicians are very prone to having sex with a lot of women, this is one of the main reasons they have chosen this career. Many women are willing to have sex with men who have political careers.

Since he has never been arrested for the crime of sexual assault, much less found guilty, we cannot say that he ever did it, unless he admits it. Admitting to being aggressive in consensual relationships, with no criminal record for rape or assault, is not a reason to paint him as guilty of wrongdoing.

As I said before, a significant number of women, even those who would not vote for him, would date and, if asked, marry him.

For real. I never once heard this argument used to defend Bill Cosby or Epstein.

Yeah I've seen there stuff. A lot of it's pretty cringeworthy imo, I still watch tho because I don't want to be one of those people that don't look at the other side.

Agree. Also, it can be incredibly difficult to take the steps to report sexual assault/rape to the police - re-traumatising, in fact hence why most go unreported. I wish more people understood this about sexual assault.

I can't for a second agree with your first paragraph. Trump lives in Power Trip Central.

Your second paragraph has a lot of truth to it, but I doubt it would be over half the women. Sucking on The Donald may be a step too far for some... but not for others!

Why does Biden et al. support violent protesters? The African countries *are* shithole countries so he happens to be right there. One thing I'll give him is he's not a total phoney like Mister Obomber.

 

[PeteJ]

Then please reiterate it because to everyone else it looks like you are against any kind of deficit spending regardless of the economic circumstances.

"Everyone?" Did you poll everyone here? It doesn't even look like *everyone * wants to discuss this topic. If this 'everyone ' didn't understand my topic, that's pretty bad. I was laying it on extra thick to make the point. You need to understand economics and common sense.

When Trump was younger and put the moves on a woman, I'm sure that he didn't start until he was sure she was willing to at least consider doing something sexual with him. I'm certain that if they said "No more", that he would not have continued, with the foreplay or whatever. This is not Bill Cosby, a degenerate who drugged his victims. Trump is probably more of a charmer and spender, for fun. If a woman accepts a sixty five hundred dollar Cartier Love Bracelet from Trump, you can be sure that she knows that she's supposed to give something in return.

Donald Trump is not our moral leader, and his private life has nothing to do with his job as president.

Again though, regardless of whether one thinks that or not, calling them as such in such a direct way isn't going to help international relations much. But maybe that's what he wants? It may play up to his supporters.

In some ways Trump reminds me of Rodrigo Duterte, but Trump can't get away with killing people (directly).

You need to understand economics. Stimulus spending now at some level would be appropriate, this is agreed upon by most of the government and most economists.

The way you wrote exaggeration makes it seem like ur against any deficit spending. Are you?

and just so we're clear I'm perfectly capable of understanding people here, you've had communication errors with a lot of people here, so you can just add this to the list.

I do? Lol. Geez.

Do you know anything about devaluing currencies? Inflation?

I know the Petrol dollar is still the world's reserve currency but how many trillions do you think it will get to before it's considered similar value to toilet paper?

Lol. If liberals are gonna nitpick and they want to focus on that?!?

I say let them. It's a joke. Most of them over there are dictators anyway, involved in the drug trade and other corruption - as pointed out, ironically, by another poster complaining about Trump's remarks. China moved on in over there anyway but no posters seem too concerned. I think their involvement is more disconcerting than Trump's insults.

And obviously there needs to be care in these decisions to prevent over inflation but passing a reasonable COVID-19 relief bill is well below the danger threshold. We're talking a few trillion dollars here.

Now the US does need to get its finances in check, there's no doubt about that but that's separate from the COVID-19 disaster.

Donald Trump is not our moral leader, and his private life has nothing to do with his job as president.

Weinstein was widely considered fun and popular in the movie business and gave all kinds of gifts and even multi million dollar movie projects to women. He married a gorgeous woman and had access to many willing women and yet he still raped.

This almost comes off as a weird projection where you just find Trump so amazing you can't imagine women turning him down but let me ask you... does Trump honestly seem like the kind of guy who doesn't think what he wants is more important than others wishes or boundaries?

The last question extends more than to his "private life" because that personality trait means Trump always comes first at the expense of what is best for the nation.

How is Joe Biden being led by the left? Can you point me to some policies that he has endorsed that'd you consider to be radically left? Because he's not for Medicare for all, legal pot, free college, a UBI or a job guarantee. Joe Biden is pretty moderate, so I'd love to know what positions he has that demonstrate he's being led by the left, since I hear it a lot. Harris is also a moderate who isn't for any of those things, except legal weed. So how is she radical?

What promise has Joe Biden made that you feel he doesn't intend to keep? Donald Trump promised a lot stuff that he didn't deliver on. He didn't investigate Hillary Clinton, he didn't balance the budget, he didn't bring our troops home, he never made an infrastructure deal, not only did he not fix the healthcare system but his supported legislation didn't come close to his campaign promise of universal healthcare. He didn't drain the swamp, the second he got in he brought Wall Street into his administration. I can cite all these broken promises if you want proof and they aren't small promises either.

Actually there is no left wing party in the US...

Now we have a rapist, or something almost as bad, in the White House, according to you. What percentage of people in America, do you figure, think as you do on this issue? 5%, 10%, 40%, 70%, 90%?

I don't know if he full on penetrated women (though the court is trying to obtain DNA in at least one case) or not but he bragged about sexual assault and at minimum grabbed women by their pussy without consent. It's not about what percentage of people "think" it. He straight up bragged about it.

If you think that's okay, we have a very different take on boundaries and morality. I'm more shocked by the amount of people who truly don't give a shit.

I'd personally say like 40% or so think Trump has committed a rape or some kind of sexual assault.
