Donald Trump is going off the deep end behind the scenes about new sexual assault allegations
Three members of Congress have resigned this month amid allegations of sexual assault or sexual harassment, which has placed renewed focus on Donald Trump’s own long and self-admitted history of being a sexual predator. More women came forward with accusations against Trump on Monday, bringing the total to far more than a dozen. According to inside reports, Trump is now going off the deep end behind the scenes as a result.
Trump has become “increasingly angry” about the situation over the past few days, and he’s “infuriated” that his own UN Ambassador Nikki Haley said that she believed his accusers had a right to be heard (link). These admissions are coming from Trump’s own people, which means that they’re vastly understated. In other words, this tells us that he’s going totally off the deep end behind the scenes. So why does this matter? There are a few reasons.
For one thing, it means we’re probably close to Trump having a Twitter meltdown about the sexual assault allegations against him. This will only serve to place greater focus on the allegations, at a time when mainstream America is increasingly eager to take him down for it. Trump has been caught on tape admitting that he likes to approach women he’s never met and grab them by the genitals, so he essentially has no defense against the accusers who are coming forward and describing situations similar to what Trump has already confessed to.
This also means that Donald Trump is now at least partially distracted from the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is carving up his entire administration as the Trump-Russia scandal deepens. So not only are the sexual assault allegations about to make things much tougher for Trump in the court of public opinion, it may also allow Mueller to more easily carry out the work he’s doing in actual court. Update: Trump is now using Twitter to sexually harass Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.
