Put The Pressure On Trump And Call For His Resignation......

Put and keep the pressure on Trump to resign. For God's sake - there is enough evidence - even his own admission with the 'pussy grabbing' comment - that he is a sexual assaulter, rapist and downright deviant.

If a concerted effort is made to call for his resignation - that will consume his time and energy to defend himself. He won't have time for rally's or campaigning.

it's resignation. And the more it's demanded the more he'll refuse because resignation is an admission of defeat, which is anathema to Trump.

Find a way to make it look like resignation is a win for him.

The problem is the media, the Senate, the Congress, the Supreme Court, the general public have ALL been guilty in one degree or another of allowing Trump to keep on going where in the past any one of literally THOUSANDS of lies he has made would have sunk a politician forever...

Giving away Code Word Intelligence?
To the Russians?
IN THE OVAL OFFICE?
But....e-mails...Benghazi!!!

Admitted to being a sexual predator and criminal?
On tape? AND VIDEO?
But...national anthem...IMMIGRANTS!!!!

This could literally go on for hours - coming up with some outrage or lie or bizarre statement and then the following diversions and misdirections that EVERYONE seems to just allow...

This man NEVER should have become President...
This man STILL has no idea what the job he holds is RESPONSIBLE for even after 2+ years...
This man is an UNINDICTED CAMPAIGN FINANCE VIOLATOR (with Cohen doing the time)...

Over and over, on and on, still rolling right along.
Unless and until these patterns are changed, nothing will begin the process of getting back to a semblance of normalcy any time soon...

for collusion and obstruction. He can deal with that. He knows he can use that with his deplorable base. He knows Mitch would even help him beat it in the Senate.

He's got to be hit with something he doesn't expect. That something is to demand his resignation for being a sexual predator and assaulter. He certainly has a long history of sexual accusations pinned on him. Hell - his own ex-wife accused him of rape. Last week it was a woman he attacked in a dressing room of a store. This week he's being pinned to his old friend Epstein and underaged girls. Fifteen other women have also accused him. He's on record of invading the dressing rooms of young beauty pagent contestants. He's on record for his 'pussy grabbing' bragging.

What makes him different that Epstein; Weinstein; Lauer; Cosby; Spacey; R.Kelly ; et al. can be brought down - but he can elude and continue to skate by. He even had a modelling agency ala Epstein.


If a concerted effort is placed on him pointing out his history of sexual preditation it would completely take him by surprise. I think it might even render him speechless. And if the level of attention to this is such that all that is said about him is calling for his resignation and pointing out 24/7 his sexual addiction - I think it would even be hard for Mitch and the Repugs to continue to circle the wagons for him.

Look what happened to Al Franken for a staged comical picture of him. Just a made up scandal took Franken down. There is a tsunami more of actual, real and admitted sexual offenses on Trump.

Yeah - it's not in his DNA to resign - but just the pressure put on him based on his history of being a sexual predator would put him off his game.

Let's not normalize this behavior of him like we do all the other crap he pulls.

I really think if this is really done in earnest - call for his resignation based on his sexual proclivities - he could be brought down.

He's not expecting such an onslaught nor does he have the ability to defend himself of this.

Here's what I found out of Trump and Human Trafficking

Consider the above revelations as they might relate to other disturbing facts about Donald Trump such as:

- Trump has boasted about his attendance at 1970s New York City sex parties. “I would watch supermodels getting screwed, well-known supermodels getting screwed, on a bench in the middle of the room. There were seven of them and each one was getting screwed by a different guy,” Donald J. Trump told interviewer Michael Gross for the book My Generation.
- Men who attended parties with Trump have described how young girls were “passed around” amongst the men like currency or cocaine.
- Trump bought the rights to Miss Universe in 1996. He has boasted about being able to “walk in on” beauty pageant contestants as they change clothing.
- Trump was named in the lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein, who paid a $75,000 fine related to his pedophilia when he lived in Florida. Trump was named as a rapist of a 13-year-old girl in the lawsuit.
- Under oath, Trump’s first wife Ivana accused him of raping her in 1989. He was dating Marla Maples at the time, and he and Ivana had reportedly not been physical for 16 months. Trump allegedly raped Ivana and ripped hair from her head as “payback” for her recommending a scalp surgeon who caused him pain. When you read the transcript, it’s not easy to forget (nor disbelieve) the scene she describes.
- The makeup artist Jill Hearth accused Trump of ongoing sexual misconduct in the early 1990s.
- In 2005 boasted on tape about being able to grab women between the legs without repercussions.
- Trump has been accused of sexual assault by at least 15 women since the 1980s.
