In a legal deposition, Ivana Trump accused Donald of a violent rape and assault.

Just to put anything he says about Bill Clinton in context.

His legal counsel tried to justify it by saying that, by legal definition, you can't rape a spouse.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/27/ex-wife-donald-trump-made-feel-violated-during-sex.html

Ivana Trump’s assertion of “rape” came in a deposition—part of the early ’90s divorce case between the Trumps, and revealed in the 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump.

The book, by former Texas Monthly and Newsweek reporter Harry Hurt III, described a harrowing scene. After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.

“Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.

What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.

“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”

As it looks, November 8th is going to be such a delightful night. I'll probably lose my voice.

Not relaxing until then, though. "Believe me."

As a balding old guy I can't even imagine being so wrapped up in my hair I would tear out a part of my scalp. LOL For some reason the idea of him with part of his head ripped out over his bald spot is freaking hilarious.

Not what followed of course but him going through that over his hair is just delicious.

The Daily Beast article centered around an explosive, if somewhat dated, allegation against the Republican presidential frontrunner: Trump allegedly raped his former wife, Ivana. Cohen, who is an attorney, reacted to the allegation with Trump-like bombast. “You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up… for as long as you’re on this frickin’ planet,” Cohen told the Daily Beast. He also advised them to “tread very fucking lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting.”

These were bold words from a man who appears to know fairly little about the laws governing the crime of rape. Cohen also claimed that “by the very definition, you can’t rape your spouse.” He’s wrong. Marital rape has been a crime in all 50 states since July 5, 1993. The highest court in New York, where Donald and Ivana lived, held that a marital exemption to the crime of rape is unconstitutional in 1984, five years before Donald allegedly raped Ivana.

He is a piece of shit. I bet she has a shut up clause in their divorce or she would be all over the news with this.

I posted this all over the place last year after I bought the book on ebay. No one seemed to care. Yes, Ivana was given $14M to shut up. It isn't that hard to find, and it is in the transcripts of the divorce trial. After he dragged Bill Clinton into the campaign to shame him/her, would have been the perfect time to expose him, but HRC remained quiet. WHY?

There is so much out there, they are not using.

If Trump brings up anything about Bill, she could say it was painful for me, but nothing like what you did to Ivana. They Trump would lose it live and in person, right?

Most Americans don't know about it and cable news would suddenly cover the story like crazy.
