Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

*He is the rapist.

Correct.

I think the thing people didn't put together in 2016 his "grab them by the pussy" comment was about children in his beauty pageants.

I think between that and stormy daniels people didn't clock exactly how fucked up Trump was.

[–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Wait, is there something especially fucked up about his affair with Stormy Daniels beyond run-of-the-mill adultery and prostitution?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Just that it was far more tame than the rest of his allegations.

No, it wasn't. It was during an interview with an Access Hollywood reporter as he was preparing for his guest appearance on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. He was joking about Arianne Zucker, an actress that he was about to meet.

Still disgusting and inexcusable language.

"Them" is clearly referring to a general attitude toward women and girls here but people clocked it as about adults for exactly the reason you mentioned but its clear in the wider context of trump he meant far more than that.

Ah, I see. I had interpreted your original comment in the narrower context of the quote, but I see what you mean.
