      Also a convicted rapist found responsible in a civil rape trial.

      Pedants.

        Because calling him a proven-in-court-but-technically-not-convicted-because-it-was-a-civil-trial rapist takes too long.

        In the interest of accuracy, none of Trump’s 34 convictions were for rape.

        He was found to be a rapist as a statement of fact in a civil lawsuit, but that’s not a conviction.

        So while he is a convicted felon 34 times over, and a rapist, he’s not a convicted rapist.

            Far too many for me to count. But I’m sure there is someone counting.

            Bare in mind that this is just the crimes Trump has committed in public. It will take possibly decades of investigations to figure out.

            Not that I think those investigations will come. Trump will likely die in office, either this term or the next ten, because he’s won.

            But just because he won doesn’t mean that the people can’t hasten that death in office. Sadly it’s not quite time for that yet. Things need to get worse before they can break cleanly.
