"She's not my type"

Is not a defense, and should not be presented as such in news articles. They make it sound like if he got it right and identified the person in the picture correctly, the Judge would say, "well OK you find her unattractive, I have to let you go". Its starting to bug me.

He didn't specify what type he was referring to.

Oh, and if he says she's not his rape type, then who is?

It's infuriating. The rape, the lies, the insurrection. The pandemic & everyone who died are long forgotten. They will help re-elect this piece of human garbage all for ratings.

corporate conglomerates. They oppose Biden's economic policies of making the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes and using that tax money to upgrade the lives of middle class and poor Americans.

So they will support Biden's opponents.

That he would assault a woman if she were his type. That admission lends significant credence to E Jean Caroll’s case. And his confusing her for his ex-wife shows he likely did assault her since one would assume he married “his type”

That’s how I see it. He basically confessed she WAS his type. I think the plaintiffs lawyer should clearly make that point somehow.

"I wouldn't have wanted sex with her because she's too ugly." It's disgusting, of course; but it will be used against him not just because it's disgusting but because he misidentified a photo of Carroll as one of his own ex-wife, Marla Maples. If he could mix up the two, that kills his "defense," as repulsive as it is.

Trump's vindictive attempt to punish her for representing her client against him.

For most people, it would probably give them damning insight into the vile person that the former-Rapist-in-chief was

I counted at least 3 times that he said, "She's not my type." (And I only watched it once, so I'm not sure of that number; it could easily be more.) I'm really struck by the way he seems to think "not my type" is a truly tcompelling denial! Like that's the definitive reason why there's no way he could have done it.

I haven't seen the whole deposition, but if he ever said anything like, "I would never rape anyone" or "I would never do a thing like that," I haven't heard about it. It really doesn't sound like being accused of rape bothers him nearly as much as being accused of raping a woman who doesn't meet his personal standards of attractiveness. He's a pig all right!

The only "type" for a rapist is someone he wants to dominate and/or defile.

His mistaking a picture of Carroll for his ex wife said she was exactly his type, in any case.

Being a pretty blonde, she was most certainly his type back in the 1990s.

was that one spot where his facial expression turned a tad wild and his true demeanor came out, even if only for a few seconds. Also, when he thought it so awfully wise to tell plaintiff's attorney that she was a political operative and was a disgrace. He changed from calling her "disgusting" and switched to his political narrative. He truly follows a script, and has probably orchestrated this entire questionable "defense," because, you know, he always knows better.
