Trump has never been charged criminally with rape, and he has certainly never been convicted of rape.

This is factually true.

This is also factually true:

No, Donald Trump has not been convicted of rape in a criminal court. However, a federal civil jury found him liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll in 2023, and a judge later clarified that the act "meets a more common definition of rape".

That's called "dicta" and has no precedential value and in fact was the judge's personal opinion. He should be removed from the bench.
