    Trump is not a convicted sex offender. Trump was found to be liable for sexual assault. A conviction is criminal and means a jury found that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt- he was not convicted. Instead a jury found that they think its more likely than not he was guilty. Basically- he wasn’t proven guilty, he was found to be probably guilty.

      Trump is not a convicted sex offender.

      Everyone knows what I mean dude. A jury of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump’s peers found that he committed rape under modern definitions. Do you think that Pathological Liar Treason Trump cares about the subtle differences you bring up? What is important is to always remind people about it over and over because otherwise people will forget that particular rape because Accused Pedophile Treason Trump committed so many other crimes.

        They found he probably committed sexual assault, not that he is guilty of sexual assault. That is the difference.

          The issue isn’t with the facts, it’s with their relevancy.

          Also, they very clearly didn’t call anyone a pedophile. C’mon, if you’re gonna make an argument show some integrity and don’t intentionally misread what you’re responding to.

        No. The difference is a difference between being in a cell for 10 years and not.

          The joys of money lol.

          The dude bragged about sexual assault and checking out teen girls dressing rooms mic’d up lol.

          The difference in jail time is semantics for the rich.

            IIRC she never pressed charges within a reasonable time where significant evidence that proved beyond a reasonable doubt existed.
