How Did Trump Escape The Fate That Harvey Weinstein Faced Today?......

Trump has been accused by multiple women of sexual assault and I believe rape. His infamous comments from the bus about how he takes advantage of women was an admission of his guilt. He's paid off Stormy Daniels. I think one of his wives even accused Trump of rape or assault. These are all the incidents we know about.

How was Trump able to skirt by all these accusations? Why wasn't this pursued more by the press and the lawyers by these women? Was this all a matter of him using NDA's?

All of this happened before Trump won the presidency. Is he protected now - because a sitting president can't be indicted? Seems to me if all this was followed up with - we might not be stuck with Trump as president today.

Any thoughts?

If he wins re-election, he’ll be free of all his wrongdoing. Ugh!

Of course, Bernie will be the next president of the United States.

If Trump wasn’t president maybe he would be charged but in this protected presidency, no way.
