Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll is selling a book of her steamy sexual misadventures and sure enough, there's a story about how Donald Trump, circa 1995 or 1996, raped the writer in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York, a pretty extreme charge buried under a big pile of stories about men who supposedly exploited her, seemingly with her clumsy assent. The Trump administration has denied the whole thing as "completely false."
I find it hard to believe. Carroll does name a long string of men who exploited her one way or another, and some of them are #metoo

It's a lie, just like the evil, lying Ford woman.
Total lie.

Coming up: 12,884 #MeToo Democrat women who claim Trump must be impeached because he insulted their looks by not raping them.
This is exactly how nuts they've become.

Meanwhile, over at NY magazine , the original poster of the very long book excerpt, the dems/libs not only unquestioningly believe her, they commend her for her bravery for telling her story. 23 years later and just as President Trump kicks off his campaign for a second term. But there are no coincidences.

What an absolutely terrible thing to do to women who were really raped.

I read the Article yesterday. It came across as a woman with a very vivid imagination. I don't believe any of it!

She's a lying publicity-seeker and the "rag" that carried the story belongs in an outhouse in Venezuela.

Carrolls book reminds me of last summer's Squeaky Ford testimony against Judge Kavanaugh -- another fresh allegation about ancient history, with no evidence and plenty of questionable plausibility.
That said, Showalter's deconstruction is almost embarrassing for using innuendo to attack innuendo. Almost every hole she shoots in Carroll's story is comparably irrational. It hurt to read, and even more so to ponder.

Back then, a lot of these stores were set up so that men were strictly monitored if they ventured into the women's department. Security cameras and actual guards helped maintain the peaceful shopping environment for women back then. I have seen photos of this woman, and I am telling you, she threw herself at Trump back in the day like the other wives did in that era. Trump most likely not only turned her down cold, but did it in such a way her female ego was ruffled. Some men do not like aggressive women, for they like to do the chasing.
He associates with enough gorgeous women, and a leftist hag like her would stand no chance. Her book reads like a laundry list of accusations against every rich man in NYC. This is like Lena Dunham's book but on steroids. Some women have rape fantasies, and it sounds like she put them to paper.

W/O the Trump story, she sells a few books. With the Trump story, she sells 20 times a few books and becomes a heroine of the Left all in one fell swoop. It's all about money and recognition.

The biggest hole in Carroll’s story isn’t even mentioned in this article. Anyone who was being raped in a fitting room in a place like Bergforf’s would be screaming her head off. Security, not to mention the woman in the next fitting room would have heard her. Unless she actually invited him in and was enjoying it, which I’m guessing is what happened if anything happened at all.

Looks like the pudgy type Bill Clinton was assaulting in the 90s.

See, now this is why I shop online. Too many billionaires lurking in the lingerie department.
From the article it sounds like E. Jean is confusing a scene from Mad Men with Don Draper in a hotel hallway with an "encounter" with Trump in Bergdorf's in 1995 — or maybe it was 1996 — these things happen so often to our poor E. Jean, who can blame her for forgetting the year this life-altering event took place? And it seems dear E. Jean thought it quite the lark at the time, laughing and flirting and even, once inside the dressing room, " I am astonished by what I’m about to write: I keep laughing."
Thanks to a link on a previous thread, we know that in 1994 E. Jean wrote in an Esquire article that after her interview with Lyle Lovett, she felt as if Lovett "“ripped off my clothes – journalistically speaking, of course, at every turn in this story.” She reminds me a lot of Rose McGowan, Ashley Judd, and Christine Blasey Ford, forever swinging the #meToo hammer at nails real, regretted, or merely imagined. My advice to E. Jean: sign up for Amazon Prime and get some psychological help. My advice to New York Magazine: stop exploiting disturbed women, hire adult editors, and set aside more money for attorneys.

In 1996 this dame was no spring chicken. I assume she had a couple of martinis too much at lunch when she decided to go shopping. Trump did not go for this homely type!

Translating here for E. Jean Carroll: “I was so desirable that all the
top names in New York either raped me or got to third base.”

If E Jean Carrol was assaulted as alleged, why didn't she report the matter to police? It doesn't take much to make a 911 call. What sort of a role model is she for women in general if she can't even make a simple call like this? Perhaps the incident did not happen as alleged.
If she was repeatedly exploited by men, it's her fault for allowing it to happen in my opinion.
