CNN’s inaugural “Road to 270” electoral map shows President Joe Biden struggling to recreate his Electoral College majority from his successful 2020 run and former President Donald Trump with enough states solidly in his corner or leaning in his direction to put him in a position to win the presidency again.

        If you cared to listen to Trump’s quote, while vulgar it’s not an admission of sexually assaulting women, he said they let him grab them by the pussy.

        The “let” word is very important because it implies consent.

            Did he brag about sexually assaulting someoneor are you moving the goal posts?

                Can you point to the quote where he “bragged about being able to because of his position of power.”

                I agree forcing someone to do something does not mean they let them do it. Nobody says the cashier let the thief rob the store. Even when the cashiers are told do comply with the robber.

                All we have is what Trump said and you can’t dismiss part of what he said because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

                    Moving the goal posts again. He said they let him do it because he is a star not because he was powerful. On top of that you didn’t even include his whole quote.

                    Contrary to what you’ve been told implied consent is a sufficient defense for sexual assult. Letting someone do something is implied consent.

                    The reason that these semantics are important is if he was in a position of power, implied consent may not be sufficient.

                  As I’ve said before, to me it shows the power of money. Many women would love to be with trump. He’s rich. He’s successful. To me that statement was more about how the world works. It’s the part that nobody wants to admit.

                  Trump didn’t get a single wife because of his personality. He wasn’t banging porn stars because of his looks.

          Yep. Most people just scream he’s admitting sexual assault. What he’s saying is when you are rich, women let you do things.

          Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it true? Yes. It’s why you see old fat men with young hot women.
