    Being found liable in a civil trial is not a “conviction”. Calling trump a proven rapist is accurate, but not a convicted rapist. To be a convicted rapist he would have to have been found guilty in a criminal trial.

    Yes the distinction between a proven rapist and a convicted rapist doesn’t change how much of a piece of shit Trump is, but it is still a clear legal distinction.

      Exactly, if he was convicted we wouldn’t be listening to the nonsense that spews out of his KFC hole on a daily basis, because he would be in prison.
