Is the Nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ Defamatory? | The former president was found liable for behavior that a judge said is commonly understood as “rape.” So why not call him what he apparently is?
In recent discussions about the former president, Donald Trump, the topic of whether or not it is defamatory to refer to him as the nickname ‘Donald Rapist Trump’ has arisen. The issue at hand stems from a court case involving writer E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s.
The court case resulted in a judge finding that Carroll’s allegations against Trump were established as a fact, thereby labeling him as a rapist.… Continue reading
As I watched the latest debacle unfold, I couldn’t help but think – how has it come to this? Former president Donald Trump speaking publicly and appearing to confuse the roles of two prominent women politicians – he suggested Nikki Haley was in charge on January 6, the day the U.S Capitol was stormed; a responsibility that fell under Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s purview. The cognitive decline seemingly implied by this mix-up is deeply concerning, bordering on alarming as it perhaps signifies the initial stages of degeneration.
One cannot simply brush off such glaring errors, especially when they come from someone who once occupied the highest office in the nation.… Continue reading
A ‘whale’ of a tale: Trump continues to distort cognitive test he took. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a test aimed at detecting dementia or cognitive decline, never included the combination of animals Trump identified this week.
As I read through the comments and opinions surrounding Trump’s distorted claims about the cognitive test, one thing becomes clear: there is significant concern about his mental health and cognitive abilities. Some suggest that he may be suffering from advanced dementia or the effects of a stroke. Others argue that his frequent cognitive tests indicate a hidden medical condition, one that his inner circle is attempting to hide.… Continue reading
As someone who prides themselves on being a moderate, I find it quite intriguing to watch the political landscape unfold as we approach the 2024 election. A crucial element in this unfolding saga is the ability, or I should say, inability, of Donald Trump to retain moderate support. There’s something particularly bewildering and perturbing about watching his waning appeal amongst procrastinating Republicans, independents, and undecided voters—people like me—who were once hopeful that an outsider might inspire change, but have since been disillusioned by the chaotic and divisive behemoth that is the “Trump legacy”.
And the Republican party isn’t helping the cause either.… Continue reading
To the many of us who have been paying attention none of these fascist tactics come as a surprise. President Trump’s words & actions over the summer months were horrifying. He has incited and supported violence several times.
- He shared a video that said “the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”[1]
- He tweeted a video of a Trump supporter yelling “White power.”[2]
- He tweeted that “when the looting starts the shooting starts.”[3] A saying that is historically tied to a racist Miami police chief from the 60’s.[4]
- Police in Washington, D.C. brutally dispersed an entirely peaceful crowd exercising their first amendment.
