Adjudicated rapist Donald Trump had some questions on Friday about an encounter he had with a woman who alleged that he groped her on an airplane in the 1970s.
Let’s set aside for a moment whether it is wise for a man whom a jury found guilty of sexually abusing a woman to want to discuss other instances in which he was accused of the same thing.
Instead, allow us to focus first on Trump’s explanation for why this could not have happened.
After bragging about how he was famous back then (keep this in mind), the former president explained that a woman in a first-class seat said he kissed her and “grabbed her at a certain part.”
That seems highly improbable to Trump.
“Think of the impracticality of this,” the former president said Friday at a press conference in which he talked about his appeal of a civil case in which a jury found him guilty of sexually abusing and defaming a New York writer.
“I’m famous, I’m in a plane,” he added. “People are coming into the plane and I’m looking at a woman and I grab her and I start kissing her and making out with her. What are the chances of that happening? What are the chances?”
Great question!!!
What are the chances of someone famous just kissing and groping women???
Let’s turn to a noted expert on this topic.
“You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them,” this expert said on tape a few years back. “It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.”
He then added that “anything” includes “[grabbing] them by the pussy,” or, “[grabbing] her at a certain part.”
If you have been paying attention at all these past few years, you will have realized that this expert is Trump himself, and that the second quote, in which he confesses to sexually assaulting women, exactly mirrors what is alleged to have happened here.
So, why would the former president bring up these episodes? Why draw attention to this two months ahead of the election?
Well, he isn’t terribly bright.
It seems doubtful that this will help Trump with women voters, a demographic that he has struggled with.
And neither will be the second explanation he offered for why he would not have assaulted this particular woman.
“[Frankly], I know you’re going to say it’s a terrible thing to say, but it couldn’t have happened, it didn’t happen, and she would not have been the chosen one,” the former president emphasized. “She would not have been the chosen one.”
There you have it, America: The accuser simply wasn’t attractive enough to be assaulted by Trump.
