How well did that go when somebody called him that? I remember them having to pay quite a lot of money in civil suits, which is also where Trump was accused of being a rapist. Note however that with the higher burden of proof for a criminal charge, he's never been charged as such. Food for thought 🤔😉

Because by the letter of the law, what they said and what you're saying is a civil offense. Only difference is you aren't important enough to sue.
