At the least, you could be oblique and call it "Miss Galore-gate."

People do read this site at their workplace. A NSFW tag on the subject line would not go amiss at a minimum.

I think he's been accused of rape or attempted rape more times than that

The whole code will be called the Trump Scandal Sorting Identifier, or TSSI.

It would look like this:

6805-13422

The first part is the Trump Scandal Class, or TSC. The first digit is the Superclass Designator (SD) and can be in the range of 2 to 9 - the SD is taken from the Circles of Hell in The Inferno, and reads as follows:

SD2 - Lust
SD3 - Gluttony
SD4 - Greed
SD5 - Anger
SD6 - Heresy
SD7 - Violence
SD8 - Fraud
SD9 - Treachery

As one would expect, Superclasses 4, 5, and 8 are going to fill entire bookcases. This is only a four-digit number because as creatively corrupt as Donald Trump is, I don't think even he could come up with more than 8000 different ways to be a criminal.

The second part is the Trump Scandal Sequence, or TSS. This is just a one-up accounting of all his atrocities.

An example: Reneging on Contracts, one of his favorite things in the world, is TSC 8227. Under this Scandal Class, what he did to the architect who redesigned Trump Doral's clubhouse will be 8227-13250, what he did to the woman who catered one of his weddings would be 8227-23180 and what he tried to do to the paint store is 8227-53180.

The purpose of the Trump Scandal Sorting Indicator is to make it easier for future scholars attempting to understand how far the United States fell in the post-Reagan era.
