NEW YORK — A writer suing Donald Trump took the stand Wednesday to tell jurors that the future president raped her after she accompanied him into a department store fitting room in 1996.

"I'm here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he said it didn't happen. He lied and shattered my reputation, and I'm here to try and get my life back," she testified.

Trump denies E. Jean Carroll's allegations. He hasn't attended the trial thus far, but his lawyers said Tuesday it's still possible he could decide to testify.

1. Drumpf is hiding under a McDonald. A pundit of the Legal sort said that juries tend

not to like it when a party doesn't show up in court.

2. TRUMP THE RAPIST -- he needs to have his "YOU-KNOW-WHAT" cut off

9. If they cut

two inches off of it, there would be an inch deep hole in his belly.

3. I wish her vindication and peace

6. It's good that this trial

is happening. I think the Orange Ruski is going to play this as just ending up with a judgement against him for money and then trying to make it hard to collect anything while claiming he is a "victim" of some sort.

7. What her lawyer should do...

On her closing - pull a Clint Eastwood!

Put an empty chair* in front of the jurors, pretend Trump is sitting it, and ask and answer questions to the defendant!

* What Eastwood did in 2012 at the RNC Convention.

8. the judge would not allow it......

They tend to not like granstanding thatrecal displays.....

But if he/she is able to play any voice recordings of his speaches, or comments, he can point to the empty witness stand and ask a question he might ask tfg, then turn back to the jury and address them.

It's all about what you can get away with.
