  • Donald TrumpDonald Trump
    47th U.S. President
    2024 - 2016
    It's unfathomable a convicted felon and sexual predator as prolific as Trump could get elected as president. He allegedly raped 12-year-old and 13-year-old girls at a party hosted by Jeffrey Epstein. His ex-wife Ivana told friends that Donald Trump raped her. He was also found liable for sexual abuse for ejaculating on writer E. Jean Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room. Countless other women have talked publicly about their sexual assaults by Trump being groped by Trump in the breasts, buttocks and vagina. He also walked into changing rooms several times with women in stages of undress and girls as young at 14 and 15 years old. And he paid for sex at a mafia run Times Square sex club. Along with all his sex crimes, Trump engaged in countless other criminal behavior. He was convicted on 34 felonies for falsifying business records to cover up an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels. A grand jury indicted him for his involvement in inciting the January 6th riot on the Capitol -- one of the most despicable acts by a President in history. In addition, he illegally tried to overturn the election results in Georgia. And to rival all that, he was also indicted on 40 felony accounts for egregiously hiding classified documents from federal agents. And throughout all this, he committed multiple instances of obstruction of justice.
