Newly released U.S. Justice Department documents related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein include an allegation that a 13-year-old girl was forced to perform a sexual act on Donald Trump more than three decades ago.

Among more than three million pages of files made public on Friday, one document claims the girl was coerced into performing oral sex on Trump 35 years ago. The record alleges she bit him during the act and was later struck in the face for laughing about it. The allegation appears in FBI materials that include unverified tips.

He is probably wondering if it really is rape if he paid a good price for her in an auction.

No one actually wonders this, they'd know that it's rape even if they pay. I'm not a professor of criminal psychology, but my understanding is that even psychopaths/sociopaths aren't stuck waffling on the semantics of stuff like this, the hyperbolic debate is for show - they know it's wrong even if they do mental gymnastics to justify it.

They know that normies think its wrong, but they don't actually FEEL that it's wrong, or have any problem with doing anything wrong. They aren't capable of guilt or pangs of conscience or anything like that. That's normal for a Sociopath/ Psychopath.

Sure, but what about psychopathic narcissists that are also entitled imbeciles?
