Trump in his interview with O'Donnell, I am not a pedophile. I am not a rapist.

Pedophile:

“Trump, who owned the Miss Universe, Miss USA, and Miss Teen USA pageants from 1996 until last year, has publicly bragged about invading beauty queen dressing rooms, calling it one of his prerogatives of ownership.”

Rapist:

“In July 2023, Judge Kaplan said that the verdict found that Trump had raped Carroll according to the common definition of the word, i.e. not necessarily implying penile penetration.”

“A federal judge reviewed the evidence. He analyzed the jury’s verdict. He examined the testimony. And he concluded that Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll.”

She had to know he would deny. Maybe it was set up so he could deny?

She simply referenced what the guy had written, then let his rant speak for itself.
