Boater: You and others here like to blather on with this but please, for the record, tell us exactly who he has been tried and convicted for having been raped.

Nothing much penetrates the Trump Cult, does it?

Here, exactly:

Trump’s team requested a new trial in the E. Jean Carroll case, arguing that the $5 million in damages he was ordered to pay Carroll was excessive because he was only charged with sexual abuse, that the jury had not found that Trump “raped” Carroll. The judge said, nope, not gonna' happen, because that semantic argument was wrong, that when someone sticks his finger, thumb, or any object into a woman's vagina against her will, that's rape.

But Judge Lewis Kaplan called Trump’s semantic argument “entirely unpersuasive.” He clarified that the jury found that the former president did indeed “rape” Carroll based on the common definition of the word.

Kaplan noted that New York penal law (the jury in the Carroll case was based in New York) has a “far narrower” definition of the word “rape” than in “common modern parlance, its definition in some dictionaries, in some federal and state criminal statutes, and elsewhere.”

So, yeah, a United States District Judge formally held, in a lengthy written opinion, that it is perfectly appropriate, and, indeed, entirely accurate, to call Donald Trump a rapist.
