Do you believe that, prior to the election, President Trump sexually assaulted any women?

MAJ Bryan Zeski — Tue, 25 Apr 2017 06:55:09 -0400

The election is over. President Trump is the elected President - and we are all obliged to respect him as such. That isn't the same as giving him a free pass for (alleged) past transgressions. With all of the campaign hoopla over, it's a fair time to re-examine important questions about our elected leadership. This isn't about starting arguments - just about finding out what people believe.

Are you going to present any credible evidence on the topic or is this just a red meat survey? A Major in the U.S. Army taking a survey about the president sexually assaulting women. You should send this one to your chain of command too, see what they think, you know, to get a good feel for where their heads are on their boss.

I have to agree. Where has critical thinking gone? I understand thinking about signal architecture in a DA environment for the Joint Force but why would a Field Grade put this garbage out? I'll shoot this to his Chief of Staff in Korea and let's turn this around.

As far as I am concerned he is our Commander and Chief and the American people have spoken, I will support our president no mater what allegations are made. I am not inch high privet eye and not obligated to open or review any formal investigation on these claims. I think this is all just a bunch of liberal agendas that was used in the attempts to slander his name. I would think that Service members would open their arms for a President who actually cares about the troops and puts his trust in his leadership.

When these accusations came out, Trump stated definitively that after the election he was going to sue each and every woman who made these claims, because he said they were absolutely false. So we can all look forward to the facts coming out soon, because he would never threaten to sue someone unless he was sure he was innocent and would never pass on the opportunity to clear his name, because his reputation for integrity is so very important to him.

I'm going to pass on the vote as my answer isn't there. My answer would be I don't know for sure and I didn't vote for him. I think it more likely than not, but not sure enough to stamp a "I believe it is true" label on it. Of course, for me even that is enough to be very disturbed he's POTUS.

I believe he is innocent, until PROVEN guilty, in a court of law. The increasing frequency of sexual assault claims against conservative men is not the problem. The problem is a hyper-liberal media that treats these claims as if they were proven fact. We are standing the Rule of Law on it's head if we expect people to lose jobs, make apologies, or get impeached based on claims alone.

I voted for Trump. I had no choice. I have worked for Clinton and I knew what kind of evil she was.

Did I have some concerns about Trump? For a second and then I dismissed them. Not because I am some crazy anti-democrat that blindly follows conservatism. I dismissed it was for one reason only. It had become popular in the mainstream media to bash anybody that contradicted the liberal agenda. They did this with half truths and misquotes. So when something that might truly be news worthy comes out I dismiss it as propaganda. When the mass media screams that the sky is falling I don't even look up anymore. Chances are pretty good I am not going to get hit in the head.

The moral of the story. Liberals should demand factual news consistently and maybe the other half of America will actually believe them. Had this been a real story reported by someone believable, who's only concerned with reporting facts Trump may have not got a pass by us moderates.

Not sure we will ever know the truth in this. When the DNC was hiring people to make false claims against candidate Trump they clouded the issue to the point that I believe many have written the entire thing off as a hoax, political mud slinging.

Do you believe that, prior to the election, President Obama sexually assaulted any women?

How would you respond to that question if the situations presented during the campaign were attributed to the previous administration?

In 2012 Herman Cain went under for similar accusations, none of which turned out to be factual last I checked. I didn't vote for Trump but I never heard of him doing anything like that, and laws are in place that side extremely well with the victim regardless of the status of the supposed assaulter.

None of the answers provided are one's I would choose. I would say I have no idea, but I did vote for him because the alternative would have been worse. I still don't know the answer (only two people do...Trump and the woman), but let's think about it. A billionaire sexually assaults multiple women. This billionaire is a public figure with a “hit” TV show. This billionaire has been married and linked to beautiful women throughout his lifetime. It has been reported (by other playmates) that Playboy “playmates” would throw themselves at him at parties. So, a man that could have any woman he wanted still assaulted woman…maybe. I believe that the rich and powerful are just as flawed as anyone else (look at Pres. Clinton). But, what I find hard to believe is that not one of the 15 or so women, that were allegedly sexually assaulted, came forward until after his nomination. Not one thought he would settle out of court during his TV show. Not one came forward when he decided to run. I’m not saying he didn’t do it and all of the women are lying, but the timing of the accusations just seem suspect. I find it ironic that liberals are outraged by Trump’s bad talk and accusations against Justice Thomas, but turn a blind eye when it comes to Clinton. If you are really concerned for women, be consistent. Condemn all acts of sexual misconduct.

I don't believe there was any hype to it. I think it was all smoke and mirrors trying to make him look bad prior to the election. If there was anything there charges would have been brought and substantiated.

To put a fine point on it, I didn't vote "for" Trump as much as I voted against the criminal on the ballot. Whereas there was no credible evidence that he assaulted anyone, there was a cornucopia of evidence that Hillary peddled influence (among other crimes)

I believe he made public and private comments that show a level of misogyny and chauvinism towards women as well as little respect for them. I believe he settled many lawsuits while lawyers pressured the dropping of other accusations. I believe he's innocent until a case actually goes to trial and a jury says otherwise.

You should define what you consider sexual assault because most people presume it is physical contact. However, the legal definition covers verbal remarks by themselves without physical contact.

Based on his own statements on the Howard Stern Show, and elsewhere, I would say it is more likely that he did, than he didn't. He often bragged about his being a player in the New York City scene. Also cheated on his wives......he is not a moral man.

I seriously doubt it because he FIRST had his choice of hundreds of willing partners there was no need to endanger his "brand" with assaulting anyone. SECOND It would have been gossip long before he volunteered to be president..... possible but not probable
