Trump's Piggish Behavior Toward Women Is What Brought His Ass Down

Opinion
Trump’s Piggish Behavior Toward Women Is What Brought His Ass Down
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL
It is purely morally satisfying that the ex-president—a vile, lifelong misogynist—is facing criminal charges for essentially stepping on his own dick.

But Trump’s extensive resume of being a career shithead—a failed coup attempt, stiffing the contractors who built his hotels and casinos, two impeachments, numerous sexual misconduct and assault allegations, several near-misses with the IRS, stealing classified documents from the White House and storing him in the basement of his country club and lying about it, hiring his unqualified moron relatives and slimeball unregistered foreign agents for high-level government jobs, broadcasting his toilet thoughts to Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson like they were Miss Cleo and he was paying 99 cents a minute for their psychic insight, and some light treason—it does feel fitting that this indictment is his first.

snip//

He’s been publicly, humiliatingly unfaithful to all three of his wives. One of his wives alleged that he physically and sexually abused her; she is now buried on his New Jersey golf course in what many observers say is a blatant attempt by Trump to save money on property taxes. Two dozen women have accused him of sexual abuse or misconduct. He’s made no secret of being sexually attracted to his oldest daughter. He used to pal around with the international sexual predator of children, Jeffrey Epstein. He famously barged into the changing area backstage of the Miss Teen USA pageant, back when he owned the pageant. He has literally bragged about sexually assaulting women.

Trump is a dick to everybody, but he’s mostly a dick to women, especially women who dare deviate from what he wants them to be. Women who are not sexually available or too sexually available, women who are too old, women who are too heavy or whose breasts are too small. Women who are too brunette or too indifferent to his personal preferences for how they should be or act. Women who are too Black, or too gay. Women who will not do his bidding. Women who are not completely malleable are not only worthless to Trump, they are scorned.

Being an asshole isn’t illegal, but every woman in America would probably think it was pretty great if the biggest asshole they knew went to jail.

He barged into the dressing room of Miss USA, not Miss Teen USA.

Agree on your addendum, emphatically.

Who said basically we never saw that, nor did we hear about it at the time, and if he'd actually done so, all the girls would've been talking about it having happened.

I consider it at minimum a questionable claim

And from the article you posted:
"Tasha Dixon was 18 when she competed in the Miss USA pageant, winning the state crown"

13. From the article:

Mar 2023

Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant also said the Republican used to walk in. Some of the girls were as young as 15.

Former Miss Vermont Teen USA, Mariah Billado, told Buzzfeed: "I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here."

Three other girls chose to remain anonymous, but told the publication it was "creepy" and "shocking".

But I'm not lying about it, I remembering being shocked at the time and investigating the claim.

They went and asked like 5 girls that were at 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant and all of them said it didn't happen as far as they knew, and they were confident they'd have heard about it.

IIRC there was some speculation that, since many girls competed in both Teen USA and USA, the others making the claim may be mixing up the time that things had happened. In my mind it's pretty well established he do so at Miss USA, but less so at Teen USA.

I mean really it's bad enough he did it at Miss USA.

However, in his case, I believe he would have to prove to me that he didn’t do it. I’m sorry, in most instances obviously, the opposite is true, but there is no question in my mind, that if he had the opportunity, the means, and the motive, he would do whatever he could do to avail himself of some female nakedness.

This was not the exact article I'm thinking of but it gives a good run-down.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2016/oct/18/allegations-about-donald-trump-and-miss-teen-usa-c/

I get what you're saying, he probably doesn't deserve benefit of doubt.

I guess what sorta put me off was the word 'famously' ... if it had said 'allegedly' I'd not have said a word contrary-wise.

He admitted to doing it with USA/Universe pageants tho so this is not really in question.

It's not always the obvious crime that trips up the crook--that, they plan for.

However, this is just the first of more to come and I still believe his "perfect phone call" to Georgia will weigh heavier in the end.

are crapping in their pants, like Jim Jordan, he knows that if trump is sent to jail that he will sing and he will make sure all his "loyalists" who currently occupy official posts go to jail as well, that is what is keeping Jordan awake all night doing stupid things like trying to mess around with an ongoing investigation which to me could be easily defined as attempted obstruction of justice, I wish someone would say it in public.

Thanks for posting babylonsister.

I agree with this article. Trump is a pig. A pig with a criminal mind.

The guy has done so much wrong in his life, it is a mystery that he has not hit jail already, and that is in part because our system is very flawed and the "Rule of Law" as well as "No one is above the law" does not work as it was intended.

But no, so many crimes, a couple of them had to stick, it is a life of criminality, and I hope this time he is accountable for all his crimes.
