"I'm not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I'm not a pedophile. I was totally exonerated."

O’Donnell then asked the president about his reaction to Allen’s (Cole Tomas Allen, the WHC Dinner shooter) rationalization that he was “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

“I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” the president replied. “Yeah, he did write that. I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”

“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked, before Trump continued.

“I’m not a pedophile. Excuse me. Excuse me. I’m not a pedophile. You read that c--- from some sick person? I got associated with stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, lets say, Epstein or other things. But I said to myself, ‘You know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably’-- I read the manifesto. You know, he’s a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things.”

Just be aware of his various tricks. KNOW they’re coming. Be TOTALLY confident that he’ll try ‘em out on you to get himself off the hot seat. His whole thing is Getting Away With Whatever-the-Hell He Can (or THINKS he can).

The Epstein file in no way exonerated Trump. There are claims that he abused a young teen girl.

to arrange another distraction, only for him to bellow a load of bullshit that draws attention right back to his crimes. Makes me picture Nazfuratu and the Thumbhead of Yucca Flats watching on a monitor and slapping their foreheads in unison like a scene from The Naked Gun sequels.

And what does "other side of the plate" mean, is that referring to the WJCD or something?

Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carroll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/19/trump-carroll-judge-rape/

The filing from Judge Lewis A. Kaplan came as Trump’s attorneys have sought a new trial and have argued that the jury’s $5 million verdict against Trump in the civil suit was excessive. The reason, they argue, is that sexual abuse could be as limited as the “groping” of a victim’s breasts.

Kaplan roundly rejected Trump’s motion Tuesday, calling that argument “entirely unpersuasive.”

“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.

He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”

Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”

I wish Nora would have pushed back on that exonerated bullshit. So many times reporters do not bother to push back on anything, just accepting his answers as gospel and move on.
