HERE ARE ALL THE TIMES DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF RAPE OR ATTEMPTED RAPE

(From the article)
..the first and most famous accusation comes from Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump.
During a deposition in the '90s, Ivana described a harrowing scene in which Trump held her arms back, pulled at her hair, and then raped her in a fit of rage.
She herself used the word "rape"
The details of the incident were made famous in the 1993 book
"Lost Tycoon:The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump" written by the journalist Harry Hurt lll.



The second accusation of sexual assault comes from a 1997 lawsuit Jill Harth says she and her romantic partner were working with Trump on a business deal when The Donald started making unwanted sexual advances.
In a lawsuit filed against Trump, she says he leered at her, inappropriately gripped her on several occasions without her consent, and even "attempted rape."
In her lawsuit, Harth describes a scene in which Trump took her into one of his children's bedrooms at his Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, threw her against the wall, began touching her all over, and lifted up her dress.
Trump denies any of this ever happened, calling the allegations "meritless."
While Harth withdrew her lawsuit shortly after Trump settled a second lawsuit with her romantic partner over a business matter, she stands by her claims.
(Harth and Trump had a cordial relationship until recently, when the allegations resurfaced and he denied them...At that point, according to The Guardian, Harth decided to speak out.)
She also says Trump's camp has contacted her on several occasions in an attempt to make her change her story and deny it ever happened.
"I said I'm not doing that," she told the Guardian.

(Here's more on the Mar-a-Lago assault, which has been documented, and totally ignored by the MSM)

The third case against Trump comes via a recent federal lawsuit filed in June 2016 in the State of New York by "Jane Doe."
In the suit, Doe alleges that Trump raped her back in 1994 when she was just 13 years old.
According to legal documents, Doe says she attended parties with Trump and his friend, Jeffrey Epstein -- a registered sex offender known in the media as the 'billionaire pedophile"
Doe, who was trying to become a model, says it was during these parties that Trump initiated sexual contact with her on several occasions and on one occasion allegedly raped her.
According to the lawsuit, Trump tied her to a bed, exposed himself to her and then raped her in "a savage sexual attack"
Doe says she screamed for him to stop, at which point he struck her in the face while screaming "that he would do whatever he wanted."
Doe says that Trump also threatened her.
"Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened me that were I ever to reveal any of the details of Defendant Trump's sexual and physical abuse of me, my family and I would be physically harmed if not killed."
The lawsuit also includes a witness statement from a "Tiffany Doe," who says she was in charge of recruiting adolescent women to entertain guests at Epstein's parties - and she personally saw the incident occur.
"I personally witnessed the Plaintiff being forced to perform various sexual acts with Donald J. Trump and Mr. Epstein.
Both Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein were informed that she was 13-years-old."
In her statement, Tiffany Doe also says she witnessed Trump force other minors to perform oral sex on him and witnessed his "physical abuse" on them "when they finished the act."

NOTE: Regarding the Statute of Limitations

The "normal" statute of limitations for a civil rape complaint is 7 years.
The plaintiff, Jane Doe, alleges that both Trump and Epstein raped her in 1994.
According to the plaintiff, Trump threatened to harm or even kill her and her family if she came forward with any accusations:

"Any statute of limitations....is tolled owing to the continuous and active duress imposed upon Plaintiff by Defendants that effectively robbed Plaintiff of her free will to commence legal action until the present time.
More particularly, Plaintiff was unrelentingly threatened by each Defendant that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse caused to her by Defendants, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed.
The duress has not terminated and the fear has not subsided."

(Note: This lawsuit was filed in California by Jane Doe herself, (Katie Johnson), without an attorney, and it was dismissed due to a technical error...However, I'm including this link for the purpose of providing additional background information relating to Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein's sexual and physical abuse of the plaintiff and other minors at the
so-called "Lolita Parties" held at Epstein's Upper East Side mansion in New York City.)

From the later-dismissed California lawsuit:
When the plaintiff asked through tears what would happen if she were pregnant,
(Trump) allegedly threw money at her and told her to "get a fucking abortion."
This lawsuit says that Epstein and Trump also got full body massages from the underage girls, and they argued over who would take the plaintiff's virginity, with Trump yelling at Epstein that he was a "fucking Jew."
The California lawsuit also says that Epstein tried to sodomize her and became enraged upon learning Trump had taken her virginity.

1. How do we kick this into the spotlight?

This history is on record and I have read about these abuses several times, but for some reason it never makes it onto the Greatest Page ... much less get anywhere with M$M coverage. Why? Is this the magic issue Clinton is saving in case she needs to make a Hail Mary pass, or what? I'm just one person, but I want to recommend it a thousand times so people will see what an absolute monster Trump is. Thank you for posting it.

How do we "kick this into the spotlight"?

Good question!

I don't think "Hillary is saving" this issue.

This story has been covered by the New York Daily News, Huffington Post and "alternative websites" like Raw Story; but MSM, for the most part, has totally ignored it.

If you have many Facebook friends, you can post it there, and ask them to re-post it wherever they can....and the same with Twitter, if you have a Twitter account

What I'm doing is sending it out, every day, to news outlets & news websites, and places like Democracy Now, which is on over 500 radio & TV stations across the country.

ANY publicity that you can stir up about this "most ignored story" would be helpful, including calling in to talk shows, sending letters to the editors of newspapers, and using Google to track down ways to contact the powers that be in the news business, like the major TV networks and people like Rachel Maddow, Thom Hartmann, Stephanie Miller, Mike Malloy, Ed Schultz, and progressive "commentators" like Jim Hightower..
(At the Thom Hartmann Show website, you can post your own blog)

Finally, you can Google "progressive websites" and send a short e-mail to each of them asking them to please cover this story.
A good one is "Third World Traveler", which has a long list of progressive websites.
(I tried to post a link to it here, but was unable to do so)

Most news sources, whether they be newspapers, magazines, or on-line news sites, have
"Contact" links that you can click on & send them e-mails...Some openly ask for
"news tips".

Thanks for your feedback & Good Luck!
