In a startling development, nearly 50 women have come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Donald Trump, as detailed in the upcoming book All the President’s Women: Donald Trump and the Making of a Predator by journalists Barry Levine and Monique El-Faizy. Previously, around two dozen women had made similar accusations, but this new publication reveals a total of over 60 claims, including 26 instances of sexual assault.
Harrowing Accounts of Misconduct
An excerpt from the book shared with Esquire depicts Trump as a figure who exploits his wealth and power to engage in predatory behavior. One harrowing account comes from a woman named Lisa Thompson, who recalls an incident at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort during a New Year’s Eve celebration in the early 2000s. While on her way to the restroom, Thompson says she was forcibly pulled behind a tapestry by Trump, who then kissed her without consent.
“I was just trying to get to the bathroom when he grabbed me,” Thompson explained in the book. “Even though I’m tall and wearing heels, I felt so small in that moment. I was terrified because of who he was.”
After the incident, Thompson reported that Trump persistently contacted her, suggesting she visit him again at Mar-a-Lago. Despite her protests, including her responsibilities caring for her ailing husband, Trump dismissed her concerns, saying, “Don’t worry about it, he’ll never know you were gone.”
Personal Reflections on Trauma
Reflecting on the infamous Access Hollywood tapes, she expressed how deeply personal the phrase “grab ’em by the pussy” resonated with her, stating, “That’s exactly what he did to me.”
Thompson hesitated to speak out for years, fearing her past as a performer would undermine her credibility. “What happened to me was traumatizing. I was just walking through a room. No matter my history, I didn’t deserve that treatment. It’s about a man who shows no respect for anyone but himself,” she lamented.
The Growing Number of Accusers
At this point, Trump has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, including his controversial remarks and connections to individuals with questionable histories. As the number of accusers continues to grow, one has to wonder what it will take for his supporters to acknowledge these serious claims.
