That man should never ever again be believed or trusted, about child sexual abuse or anything else

Bishop Talbert Swan @TalbertSwan Jul 19
Only a white man in America can…

be videotaped with underaged girls while hanging with a child sex trafficker

cheat on his wife with a porn actresses and pay her to keep quiet

publicly fantasize about having sex with his own daughter

openly boast about sexually assaulting random women

be convicted of 34 felonies

have 91 criminal charges, 26 sexual assault allegations, 5 bankruptcies, and 2 impeachments

be sued by the Department of Justice for racial discrimination

have a $25 million fraud settlement, a $400 million fraud judgment, and a $96 million sexual assault judgments

…and be considered a good Christian by white evangelicals and elected president of the United States



...that president's administration:

fired the federal prosecutor who handled the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, from her position in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

intervened on the side of Catholic clergy in a case where a federal judge barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.

gutted the State Dept.'s 'Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons,' ]known as the TIP Office, literally and effectively killing its office which is combating human trafficking.


Trump also publicly defended sexual predators, including himself

Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery “Terrific guy,” Donald Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with.”

(Trump offered sympathetic words to Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein who was convicted of facilitating the abuse of girls by the now-deceased sex offender. “I just wish her well, frankly,” Trump said when asked about Maxwell during a news conference.)

After repeatedly defending Joe Paterno, the former Penn State coach who covered up molestation of young boys in the locker room, Trump proposed at a campaign rally in Pittsburgh bringing back a statue of Paterno, which university officials removed from campus after the scandal. “How’s Joe Paterno? We’re gonna bring that back? Right? How about that whole deal?” the mogul told the crowd.

Trump defended Roger Ailes by insinuating Gretchen Carlson and 20 others were lying about their boss's sexual harassment.

In 1992 when Trump was asked about his good friend Mike Tyson being convicted of raping Desiree Washington, Trump defended the boxer and maligned the rape victim. He in essence blamed Washington for being raped: “You have a young woman that was in his hotel room late in the evening at her own will.” And then Trump— even though Tyson had already been convicted by a jury—despicably questioned whether Washington was even raped, noting that a video after the incident showed her “dancing with a big smile on her face, looked happy as can be.” Trump then added, “It’s my opinion that to a large extent, Mike Tyson was railroaded in this case.”
