Remember when Trump raped a 13 year old girl and then settled out of court, then a few years later he said that people who settle out of court are obviously guilty?
Everything Trump says has a little asterisk above it which is "*except when I do it" - except he probably doesn't know about asterisks. They're pretty complicated.
Sftu loser! He's got great asteriskses, the best in fact! Nobodies got asteriskses like him, in the world!
^(/s, but not really necessary I hope)
One time an asterisk came up to Trump, big asterisk, strong asterisk, tears streaming down its typeface and it said "Mr Trump, no president has ever been treated as poorly as you*".
Interesting. Is there a site that has all of his convictions and settlements listed? This would be great in reasoning why he shouldn't run for office if you have a link to all that.
This isn't exactly that, but helpful...
He's demonstrably the actual biggest loser in history, and he just got more loser-y folks... If any of you are starting to have your memories fade, here's a quick refresher to read this morning and then copy and send to your aunt karen in Missouri.
Do you have a list that omits speculation and personal opinion? Got anything with facts and sources listed?
That list feels like a classic Reddit comment, packed with smugness. No one is going to convince their “aunt Karen in Missouri” that Trump is bad using a Facebook-tier list like that.
To answer your question, PoppinKREAM on Reddit often posted detailed comments with sources. Sort by “Top” on his Reddit profile and his fifth comment (as of today) has a much better list.
FTFY
Yeah, I was hoping this place would be a little more accurate in discussion. But it's still the same circlejerk. "Orange man bad" gets all the upvotes, regardless if the comment is true or not.
lemmy.world is a big instance and a lot of the Redditors from the initial migration landed here. But the great thing about Lemmy & the Fediverse is that you don’t have to stick with only one instance. I personally have accounts on lemmy.ml (where I landed after the migration) and beehaw.org (I joined in the early days and fell in love with their community & philosophies). I usually just browse “All” through the Voyager app though, so I can see posts from instances across Lemmy.
Using Lemmy / the Fediverse requires a different mindset than Reddit and other monolith websites: you’re given a lot more power to choose how to engage with the community at large and the Reddit hive mind isn’t nearly as effective. There’s still going to be circlejerks and brigades and all kinds of shenanigans that come with forums, but don’t take the voting system too seriously and you’ll have a much better time.
AND A PARTRIDGE IN A PEARTREEEEEE!

Every accusation he makes is a confession. Always.
I've never read anything about that. Any links?
Here's the original complaint document, and a bit of googling will find old news articles with more information. This one was linked to Epstein.
Trumps links are the best links.
Lawsuits were filled against the buffoon and the pedo by the same individual, but ultimately they were dismissed or withdrawn. They were not settled, at least in no way that can be proven.
Now I'm not saying that the accusations were invented to negatively affect the buffoon's election chances, though that is a possibility. I find it unlikely as most sane individuals, especially with what was known at that time, would not risk a crime or being counter sued by filing a false claim. Not to mention licensed lawyers putting their own careers and repairs on the line.
We also know that the buffoon and his enablers and followers are not afraid to break the law or push its limits to make problems go away.
Anyway they're is also this

The OP on this thread said he settled out of Court. Is that true? From everything I've read the cases were thrown out?
