My theory on why Trump gets away with harassment, while others don't

[ansible]

I'm going to get a bit of flak for this, but I think I figured out why Trump never got nailed the same way Matt Lauer and many other guys in the news right now have.

Trump is essentially an old fashioned chauvinist and he is up front about it. Women who'll meet him are already very well aware of this and most will avoid him.

Other celebrities are different because while they are just as horny and lecherous they spend all their time talking about how much they would never hurt a woman. This puts women into a false sense of security. They think they have found a guy who's not like the rest; then surprise he asks if he can jack off in front of you.

With Trump because he is so up front most women will avoid him entirely, so the ones that stick around are down to be objectified and dominated. These other celebrities keep their intentions hidden so many girls who do not want to be harassed hang around and are then surprised when these guys act like horny perverts.

1. I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure he's the Anti-Christ

8. Trump wants to destroy the world. He sees himself as the Anti-Christ.

i think he is too.

2. But now he's denying that the Access Hollywood tape is doctored, not his voice

So he's not up front at this point.

I think he's getting away with it because he's a Republican POTUS and the Republicans are in control of Congress. If he was a Dem? Curtains.

3. He accused the woman of lying. Don't give him credit for this

4. OTOH, I've known women who were completely fooled by him.

One met him in the late 80s/early 90s. She was completely impressed with him and thought he was a gentleman. I kid you not. Her husband was a subcontractor on an Atlantic City property and I suppose Trump put on an act with the wives of people he worked with (but didn't want to sleep with).

5. These other men got away with it for years, and so did Trump

The only difference with Trump is that he has ordinary Republican voters on his side and got elected president, probably because he never bother their own wives or daughters. The same advantage may work for Roy Moore.

6. Workplace rules may be different and higher standard of evidence is needed outside of most workplace

7. Donnie is being used for a necessary means to a

specific end. That end is the GOP changing every Policy and Program pasted during the New Deal of FDR. If you recall,Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell did their best to protect Trump from any and all charges brought by any to the Females he molested.

Once the GOP gets most of their Bills signed by this Fake,bam,you are so gone.
