LaFayette :
1. Public Statements That Raise Alarms
Access Hollywood Tape (2005):Trump is recorded saying, âWhen youâre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything... Grab them by the p---y.âThough he later dismissed this as âlocker room talk,â critics argue that this reflects an attitude of entitlement and lack of consent.
Comment About a Young Girl (1992):In a clip from âEntertainment Tonight,â Trump looked at a group of girls and said, âI am going to be dating her in ten years,â referencing a child estimated to be around 10 years old.
Howard Stern Show Appearances:Trump discussed walking in on naked pageant contestants, including teens:
âTheyâre standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women. And so, I sort of get away with things like that.âSome of these comments involved Miss Teen USA participants.
2. Legal Proceedings and Allegations
E. Jean Carroll Case (2023):A jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Although this was a civil caseânot a criminal convictionâit marks a significant legal finding against him.
Other Allegations:More than two dozen women have publicly accused Trump of sexual misconduct, ranging from unwanted kissing to assault. Many claims occurred during his time as a celebrity and businessman. Some cases were dismissed or settled, but the volume of allegations creates public concern.
3. Repeated Objectification and Comments About Women
Trump has openly rated womenâs bodies in interviews, discussed his daughter Ivankaâs physical appearance, and been quoted saying:
âIf Ivanka werenât my daughter, perhaps Iâd be dating her.âCritics argue this perpetuates the image of a man who sexualizes women, even in inappropriate contexts.
4. Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the Birthday Letter
Longstanding Social Ties:Trump and Epstein were social acquaintances dating back to the late 1980s. Trump once said in a 2002 interview:
âIâve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy... It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.â
Shared Social Events and Travel:Trump and Epstein were photographed together at parties, including one in 1992 at Mar-a-La
