Recently Politico did a little tongue-in-cheek piece about some of the worst things Donald Trump has ever said about women and love, and Politico touted it as a fun Valentine’s Day piece.

Let’s remember that Trump has had close to 20 women accuse him of sexual abuse, so it’s rather upsetting that Politico would take the horrible things Trump has said and try to make it look “cute.”

For instance, Politico highlighted what Trump told Howard Stern back in 2005, “The only time you want your chick to have acne is if it’s because she’s a teenager.”

And Politico even had the words cross-stitched making it appear homey? I am not sure what they thought they would accomplish by presenting Trump’s words this way.

Politico offers another Trump anecdote, describing how he first tried to get Ivana’s attention at a New York club. Then it notes that “a few decades later, of course, his manner of pursuit could be a little different” — a crass reference linking to the infamous 2005 audio recording of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women because he is famous.

Trump literally bragged about grabbing women “by the pussy” without their consent in the infamous “Access Hollywood” video but he furiously called a growing number of women liars after they accused him of doing just that.

Trump’s alleged acts of misconduct have been well-documented and it cannot be ignored or made to look cute or charming.

Trump once joked about a 10-year-old girl’s physical appearance, saying “I’ll be dating her in ten years.” He’s said that if Ivanka were not his daughter, he’d “perhaps” be dating her. He told a pair of 14-year-old girls, “wow! Just think — in a couple of years, I’ll be dating you!” Trump also reportedly walked into the Miss Teen USA dressing rooms while contestants, many of whom were under 18, were changing.

Questions have also been raised about his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced convicted child sex predator who committed suicide while facing child sex trafficking charges. One woman claimed that Trump raped her at Epstein’s apartment when she was just 13 years old, which Trump denied.

Below is the woman’s account of what happened, and the allegations of 17 other women who accused Trump of rape or sexual assault.

Jane Doe:

A lawsuit filed by a woman identified only as Jane Doe alleged that Trump raped her in 1994, when she was just 13, in Epstein’s apartment, according to BuzzFeed News. Trump has repeatedly denied the allegation.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump raped her during a party and that Epstein also raped her twice. Two women, identified only as “Joan Doe” and “Tiffany Doe,” submitted affidavits corroborating the woman’s story.

The woman was expected to come forward publicly but backed out and dropped her lawsuit after “numerous threats,” The Guardian reported.

Ivana Trump:

Trump’s first wife Ivana alleged that Trump raped her while they were married during their divorce case, according to a 1993 book reported by The Daily Beast.

The book described a “violent assault” in which Trump, began to “pull fistfuls of hair from her scalp,” and raped her, which Trump has denied.
Trump lawyer Michael Cohen claimed that the reference to rape referred to how “she felt raped emotionally” despite the book’s account.
“You cannot rape your spouse. There’s very clear case law,” Cohen falsely claimed.

E Jean Carroll:

Longtime magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll alleged in her recent book that Trump raped her in the dressing room of the department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s.

Carroll alleged that Trump ran into her and urged her to try on lingerie. He then grabbed her, pushed her against the wall, tore down her tights, and raped her for up to three minutes, she said.

“Still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis half way⁠⁠— or completely, I’m not certain ⁠— inside me,” she wrote.

Trump denied that he ever met Carroll, despite appearing in a photo with her, and claimed she was “not my type.”

Carroll has since filed a defamation lawsuit against him.

Jessica Leeds:

Leeds, 74, was one of the first women to come forward after the Access Hollywood tape. Leeds said she sat next to Trump on a plane more than 30 years ago. Trump groped her breasts and tried to reach under her skirt on the flight she said, which he has denied.

Rachel Crooks:

Crooks came forward in a New York Times piece with Leeds. Crooks said she was just 22 when she worked for a company in Trump Tower. On one morning in 2005, Trump grabbed her, began kissing her cheeks, and “kissed me directly on the mouth.” Trump has denied the allegation.

Temple Taggart McDowell:

McDowell, a former Miss USA contestant, claimed that Trump kissed her on the lips without consent at least twice when she was 21 in 1997, according to The Daily Beast. Trump called the allegation “ridiculous.”

Natasha Stoynoff:

Stoynoff, a staff writer at People Magazine, wrote that Trump assaulted and forcibly kissed her in 2005 while she was doing a piece on him and his wife.

“He was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat,” she wrote. “I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.”

Mindy McGillivray:

McGillivray said she accompanied her photographer friend to Mar-a-Lago to cover a Ray Charles concert. She alleged that Trump grabbed her butt while standing next to his then-fiancee Melania.

Cassandra Searles:

The former Miss Washington USA said that Trump grabbed her by the butt and invited her to his hotel room, according to Rolling Stone.

Jill Harth:

Harth, a makeup artist, sued Trump in 1997. She alleged that Trump groped her in Ivanka’s bedroom and at a hotel. Harth accused him of “attempted rape,” which Trump called “meritless.”

Kristin Anderson:

Anderson, a model, told The Washington Post that Trump groped her at a Manhattan nightclub in the early 1990s.

“It wasn’t a sexual come-on. I don’t know why he did it. It was like just to prove that he could do it, and nothing would happen,” she told the Post. “There was zero conversation. We didn’t even really look at each other. It was very random, very nonchalant on his part.”

Cathy Heller:

Heller was at Mar-a-Lago with her family for Mother’s Day when Trump came up to their table and kissed her, she said.
“He took my hand, and grabbed me, and went for the lips,” she told The Guardian. “I was angry and shaken. He was pissed. He couldn’t believe a woman would pass up the opportunity.”

Karena Virginia:

Virginia said that Trump groped her during the 1998 US Open Tennis Championship.

“He then walked up to me and reached his right arm and grabbed my right arm. Then his hand touched the right inside of my breast,” she said at a news conference. “I was in shock. I flinched. ‘Don’t you know who I am? Don’t you know who I am?’”

Ninni Laaksonen:

The former Miss Finland told a local news outlet that Trump groped her before she was about to appear on the Late Show with David Letterman, according to The Telegraph.

“Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed by butt. He really grabbed by butt. I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’” she said.

Alva Johnson:

A former Trump campaign staffer, Johnson alleged that Trump kissed her without consent after a rally in 2016, which he denied. She filed a lawsuit but later dropped it. She says she stands by her account.

Jessica Drake:

The adult film star alleged that Trump grabbed and kissed her without consent and offered $10,000 to have sex with him. Drake said she declined his offer.

Summer Zervos:

Zervos, a contestant on The Apprentice, said Trump kissed and groped her while discussing possible employment opportunities that never materialized.
After Trump accused her of lying, Zervos filed a defamation lawsuit against him.

Karen Johnson:

Johnson said Trump grabbed her vagina without consent and forcibly kissed her at a Mar-a-Lago party in the early 2000s, according to a new book excerpted by Esquire.

“When he says that thing, ‘Grab them in the pussy,’ that hits me hard because when he grabbed me and pulled me into the tapestry, that’s where he grabbed me ― he grabbed me there in my front and pulled me in,” she said.
