Another Woman Trump Didn't "Protect"

 

Another of the many victims of sexual assault by the Malignant Loser has come forward with her account.  Her name is Stacey Williams, and she's living proof of the Kafkaesque lie that the Malignant Loser would be "the protector of women," as he has boasted.  From The Guardian:

A former model who says she met Donald Trump through the late sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein has accused the former president of groping and sexually touching her in an incident in Trump Tower in 1993, in what she believed was a “twisted game” between the two men.

Stacey Williams, who worked as a professional model in the 1990s, said she first met Trump in 1992 at a Christmas party after being introduced to him by Epstein, who she believed was a good friend of the then New York real estate developer. Williams said Epstein was interested in her and the two casually dated for a period of a few months.

“It became very clear then that he and Donald were really, really good friends and spent a lot of time together,” Williams said.  [snip]

The alleged groping occurred some months later, in the late winter or early spring of 1993, when Epstein suggested during a walk they were on that he and Williams stop by to visit Trump at Trump Tower. Epstein was later convicted on sex offenses and killed himself in prison in 2019.

Moments after they arrived, she alleges, Trump greeted Williams, pulled her toward him and started groping her. She said he put his hands “all over my breasts” as well as her waist and her buttocks. She said she froze because she was “deeply confused” about what was happening. At the same time, she said she believed she saw the two men smiling at each other.  [snip]

Williams says that Trump sent her agent a postcard via courier later in 1993, an aerial view of Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach residence and resort. She shared it with the Guardian. In his handwriting – using what appears to be his usual black Sharpie – he wrote: “Stacey – Your home away from home. Love Donald”.

Williams, who is 56 and a native of Pennsylvania, has shared parts of her allegation on social media posts in the past, but revealed details about the alleged encounter on a call on Monday organized by a group called Survivors for Kamala, which supports Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris. The Zoom call featured actor Ashley Judd and law professor and academic Anita Hill, among others. Survivors for Kamala also took out an ad in the New York Times this week, signed by 200 survivors of sexual and gender violence, which was meant to serve as a reminder that Trump has been found liable for sexual abuse in a court...

It takes a great deal of courage for a woman who's been sexually assaulted by the Malignant Loser (or by anyone else for that matter) to come forward.  The Malignant Loser's accusers get death threats, they get harassed, they get taken to court in frivolous lawsuits, and worst of all they're reliving their shame publicly.  Especially now, when it's not a shock to read another account of the Malignant Loser's criminal behavior, to have her come forward for the record is incredibly admirable.

And yes, as many will say, it's "baked in" for his cultists that the Malignant Loser is a sexual predator, that he's a pathological liar, that he's a Russian asset, that he's a fascist ... and more.  So, obviously this isn't some tipping point in the election.  But it is a reminder of how risible and dangerous it is to claim that the Malignant Loser looks out for women or for anyone but himself.  He didn't "protect" Ms. Williams then, and he won't "protect" women now.
