except that it isn't a "pee tape," it's a tape showing the rape of an underaged girl -- and such a tape is released:
Would most Republicans offer the usual excuses, or would this be an elephant even too big for the DT crowd to swallow?

(7,432 posts)may not be so hypothetical.
There are stories floating around that connect a Trumpy modeling agency with Jeffrey Epstein, parties on his yacht and elsewhere, utilization of Trumpy models to lure clients into real estate deals, and the alleged rape by Trumpy of a thirteen year old girl. Much of the above is reportedly derived from court testimony during the Epstein trial (available online). The alleged rape is an allegation made by the victim who has withdrawn her suit a couple of times.

(52,245 posts)and now there are people who swear it wasn't even him.
some of his faithful will believe anything.
we're getting close to the point where he really could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose any support.
all he would have to do is say it was a liberal. hell, if he said it was a terrorist, he'd go up in the polls.

(1,660 posts)Forced sex alone would probably be excused or re-framed. Sex with violence, especially injuries, would probably turn the tide - especially if the sound track supported the fact that it was violent.
I personally think it's the worst of the uglies, short of the girl dying on camera. And I'm willing to contemplate even that.
I don't think Trump actually has limits.

(25,816 posts)It's easy to imagine Putin taping Trump. Probably standard procedure.
Hopefully it's a pee tape and not a rape, but I would put nothing past
this scum.

(6,377 posts)If a video was released of him watching an underage girl get raped?
He'd be gone.

(14,961 posts)Rumors of him raping little girls on tape, these have been swirling since he announced. The rumors are getting louder and louder.

Downtown Hound
(12,618 posts)The most likely scenario I can envision is them blaming Trump's behavior on Democrats for causing widespread sexual immorality in America.

radius777
(3,635 posts)and those who voted for him basically knew that.. iow they know he's a thug but in their minds 'their thug' who they elected to 'rough up' PoC/immigrants/gays/women etc.. so some tape with him getting peed on or even raping someone isn't going to change their views on him.. its consistent with what a white nationalists skin-head would do... iow it comes with the territory and his voters accept that.

(14,104 posts)Im another that is clueless. I just scrolled thru posts to try to find something. Where are the rumors coming from?
There have been rumors of underage girls for ages tho. It wouldnt surprise me at all.
pnwmom
(108,980 posts)And there was the lawsuit filed, and withdrawn, by a woman in the United States who said he raped her when she was 14.
So it's not much of a stretch to believe Twitter rumors that an arrangement like that could have been made for him when he was in Russia.
