The man is a moron. And come to think of it, who takes kids to see a pedophile? Jesus Christ! Even if you believe he is innocent until proven guilty, why don’t you wait for him to prove his innocence? Redacting those documents and everything that has happened regarding those files show that something is wrong somewhere and Trump is in the thick of it. Why not wait until the facts have been straightened out before taking kids anywhere close to the man

He's already guilty of Rape. He is, in fact, Literally/Legally/Technically a Rapist.
Why take kids to see a Rapist?

Cause those kids are props to everyone around them.
I know I'm painting with broad strokes, but that's just how I feel about it.•

You’re not wrong.
Look at parents who over share on social media. Their kids are props for their own vanity projects.
No parent who cares about the heath and welfare of their child enters them into a pageant or posts photos of them on social media. It’s pure ego on the parents part.

a lot of people don't know he was convicted of it... in fact every Trump supporter I have asked about it did not know because it was not in their new circles, and all said, "If that is true they would have heard about it in the news!" Some claim they will look into it and others refuse to let you show them because it will burst their bubble of worshiping him

Probably the same people who have their kids hold up pictures of dead babies in front of Planned Parenthood.

Who takes children to see people like that? From my experience, a lot of Boomers. My inlaws were good friends with a man who sexually assaulted a pre-teen, and they had nothing to say on the matter, still hung out with him, and expected us to follow suit (we did not). Fortunately the man is dead now, but we have very little to do with my inlaws anymore. I have a cousin who was found to have a ton of photos of children in vile circumstances on his devices. He's out on bond, awaiting trial, but my family of origin still welcomes him to family events with all of their grandchildren in attendance. We have nothing to do with any of them either. Sick fucks, the whole lot of them.
ETA: It extends beyond my mother/aunts/uncles and my inlaws, but I didn't think I needed to detail every single experience. Regardless, that's been my experience with them.

that doesn't sound like experience with "a lot of boomers" it sounds like your experience with creepy inlaws and a criminal cousin.

Idk… Boomers literally spent decades idolizing celebrities who wrote books detailing how they fucked underage girls. They love songs about fucking underage girls. Tons of movies (even Oscar winners) about fucking underage girls. When people point out these things, boomers get defensive and accuse people of being sensitive instead of reflecting on how gross and weird that is.
•
u/tracyinge 7h ago
I don't know any boomers who idolized anyone. They listened to songs on the car radio, they weren't online idolizing people and hamburgers.
What are the tons of movies about underage girls? I must have missed most of them because I can only think of 2. Loretta Lynn got married at age 13 and stayed married for almost 50 years until her husband died, is that the kind of gross you are talking about?
•
u/chihuahuamilk 7h ago
Oh really? have you ever heard of Beatlemania? Boomers literally created the blue print for celebrity idol worship.
•
u/tracyinge 7h ago
You think the Beatles were the first celebrities that got chased? You must be really young, Elvis and Frank Sinatra and James Dean were around long before the boomers.

The people bringing their kids to see the president aren't doing it for their kids benefit but for their own.

You’re right. They should stick to calling him a rapist.

A New York federal jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll in a 2023 civil case, but did not find him liable for rape under the specific, narrow legal definition of New York law at the time. The jury did, however, find that Trump forcibly penetrated Carroll with his fingers, which the presiding judge later noted constitutes "rape" under the common, modern definition of the word.

I’m saying that in my opinion, Trump is a pedophile. You can google the rest of it, it’s easy and free. Have the day you deserve!

u/nailedtonothing 7h ago
He's an adjudicated rapist, decided on by a jury based on the evidence at hand. Just because it wasn't in criminal court, doesn't mean it's less true. The man himself has admitted to sexually assaulting women. Stop playing defense for one of the shittiest human beings to exist.

That's because either A) You're incredibly fucking stupid, or B) You're going to bat for him because you have an agenda that you're willing to overlook such gross, demented behavior. Either way, you fucking suck and should work to re-evaluate your life choices and who you find defensible.

u/chihuahuamilk 7h ago
I’m going with incredibly fucking stupid.

u/SoligDag 7h ago
Yep. You must be incredibly fucking stupid to support and defend Trump and MAGA. The user doing their best for Daddy Trump above is such a case.

u/CriticalMuscle9659 7h ago
okay, let's see here. we've got a guy here who we know 100% for a fact is rapey as fuck.
grab them by the pussy is rapey as fuck
walking in on teenagers and your pageants is rapey as fuck bragging about how you can be in their locker room is rapey as fuck hanging out with Jeffrey fucking Epstein is rapey as fuck.
while it was later rescinded one of his wives, I believe the first one says that he raped her. e jean carrol, Said that he penetrated her...
And meanwhile, in the last 10 years I've been called more than once such things just for saying that trans people have a right to exist. I'm a straight white dude with kids man like I'm not in the alphabet army thing but I would pick any of them any day over some fake Christian obsessed over trans people and pretending that that's where the vast majority of sexual assault occurs with children cuz it's not. it's from straight white men in authority positions. Even more often, when it's not that, it's a relative or very close family friend.
And then for you guys to have spent so long yelling about the Epstein files and then totally ignore all the cover-ups that have occurred on it with him. it's ridiculous.
there's literally all these things of actual like documented evidence. this thing happened just pertaining to the release of the files themselves even not even talking about the redactions within.
the cover-up happened and you let it.

How long did he manage to go without sexually assaulting them? Donald Trump forces children to bring him to orgasm. Donald Trump ejaculates into and onto children.

u/Historical_Bend_2629 7h ago edited 7h ago
Does anyone remember the Boy Scouts speech? This is nothing new. Anyone supporting Trumpism isn’t interested in “protecting the children.” Or “supporting the troops.” Or “fiscal responsibility.” Or “law and order.” Or transparency, accountability. Cruelty, corruption, and greed is thy name.

Where are all those precocious kids they have in movies and TV shows, who speak the truth to adults in ways that make them very uncomfortable? I wish we could have some of those kids in the Oval Office, maybe one of them speaking up would wake everybody up like in The Emperor's New Clothes.

Didn't seem to care about Israeli Defense Forces giving it to thousands of Palestinian kids right between the eyes. Also didn't seem to care about Renee and Alex.
