It isnt but, instead, is about asserting power and control over the victim to humiliate and degrade them. The president of the United States is some piece of work. Thank you GOP.

I'm sure she was a factor, but I kinda think he was also doing it to humiliate and show power over her husband.

(315 posts)He is a sadist who gets off on humiliating others....btw, her husband was African-American.
I believe Ms. Carroll, but I do wish that she had gone public prior to the 2016 election, rather than waiting until her book came out.
It could have made a huge difference at that point in time.

(11,561 posts)he thinks rape is about sex. To him, sex is power, but, nuanced guy that he is, he never looks past the sex part. He's a giant id with an orange roof.

(11,561 posts)Its the vehicle to assert power and control by abusing someone in a very personal way. Its not about pleasure, other than a sadistic pleasure in harming and causing pain to someone else. It takes a twisted mind...

(343 posts)The bad part here is that most people probably believe it. Trump is a despicable human being. He thinks nothing of stealing, lying, and groping women. It is not hard to believe that he is guilty of all sorts of things. This is just another part of his horrible life.
