CNN’s inaugural “Road to 270” electoral map shows President Joe Biden struggling to recreate his Electoral College majority from his successful 2020 run and former President Donald Trump with enough states solidly in his corner or leaning in his direction to put him in a position to win the presidency again.

          Can you point to the quote where he “bragged about being able to because of his position of power.”

          I agree forcing someone to do something does not mean they let them do it. Nobody says the cashier let the thief rob the store. Even when the cashiers are told do comply with the robber.

          All we have is what Trump said and you can’t dismiss part of what he said because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

              Moving the goal posts again. He said they let him do it because he is a star not because he was powerful. On top of that you didn’t even include his whole quote.

              Contrary to what you’ve been told implied consent is a sufficient defense for sexual assult. Letting someone do something is implied consent.

              The reason that these semantics are important is if he was in a position of power, implied consent may not be sufficient.

                  Being put under duress is not letting someone do something.

                  A woman is not letting a man grope her when he follows her into a changing room uninvited.

                  I haven’t defended Trump other than to say the statement they let me is not bragging about sexual assult.

                It is important to liberals to think Trump admitted he sexually assaulted people. I don’t know why but to them it’s important.

                I met Trump at a party and I thought he was a sleezebag. He was a Democrat back then which just confirmed what I thought of him.

                Just like the liberals want to squeal about how bad things were under Trump. Things were pretty damn good under Trump. I had no major issues. I got called back to active duty to help with COVID and I gladly did it.

                A trans friend of mine kept talking about the genocide of trans people under Trump. I told her she must be late to the party since she is still alive and Trump said she could whatever bathroom she wanted.

                I think people forget the power dynamics of wealthy people. Many women would gladly let Trump fondle them in public because he is wealthy and they want that life. It doesn’t turn into sexual assault because liberals want it to be.

                Also the Carroll story I think is complete horseshit. She has zero real evidence. It is he said, she said and in a sane world that lawsuit would have been kicked out for waiting so long and no proof.

                So while I am no fan of Trump, I think he is a Democrat in Republican clothing, I will vote for him in the next election over Biden.

                    He did not as another person explained to you as well. Either way, so did Biden and Clinton. Clinton even lost his law license over it.

                    Either way, don’t care. I am still voting for him.

            As I’ve said before, to me it shows the power of money. Many women would love to be with trump. He’s rich. He’s successful. To me that statement was more about how the world works. It’s the part that nobody wants to admit.

            Trump didn’t get a single wife because of his personality. He wasn’t banging porn stars because of his looks.

                You need this statement to be true because you can’t stand the thought of his reputation being stained

                Stop trolling. I said he was a piece of shit. How is that defending his reputation? I get you are emotional but take a few breaths and think about what you are trying to say. It comes off as hysterical.
