I think the E. Jean Carroll rape allegation is ludicrous and fabricated. I don’t believe anyone could rape someone in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman during business hours without anyone noticing. I especially don’t believe Donald Trump, who was rich and famous and owns the skyscraper across the street, could walk into Bergdorf’s and be left alone. People in the store would recognize him and gawk. Sales staff would be paying close attention to him in case he needed something. The idea that the store could be dead enough that the lingerie floor could be as empty as Carroll describes it and nonetheless a VIP like Trump could follow a woman into the dressing room and rape her, totally ignored by everyone, strains credulity. The accusation also mirrors an episode of “Law and Order,” which Carroll has described as her favorite show. I have no idea whether she is lying intentionally or if she is crazy and believes it happened, but it is not a credible accusation and when liberals pretend to believe it, it makes me more supportive of Trump. I feel similarly about frequent claims that Trump is a “pedophile” based on the fact that he knew Jeffrey Epstein, who was a pedophile. There is no evidence that the girls who Epstein trafficked and raped were raped by anyone other than Epstein — the victims themselves do not allege this, and nobody has ever accused Trump of anything. The claims against Platner, made by multiple women who dated him and representing a consistent pattern of behavior, is wildly different than the accusation by Carroll, which is a completely fantastical claim by someone who doesn’t even know Trump.
