He’s literally in court today defending himself in a defamation suit against another woman he sexually assaulted so this isn’t the slam dunk you think it is.

The “let” word is very important because it implies consent.

Did he brag about sexually assaulting someoneor are you moving the goal posts?

He bragged about being able to because of his position of power. Just because he added the word “let” doesn’t mean he got consent, it means the victim wasn’t able to say no. If anyone’s moving the goalposts it’s you to explain to me how sexual assault works with semantics.
A cashier doesn’t “let” someone rob their store, and a victim of sexual assault does not “let” a man in power over them do whatever they want. In both examples, they are coerced into doing something they don’t want to do for fear of consequences.
I genuinely hope you are never on the receiving end and have to experience it for yourself, but if it’s a Republican presidential candidate maybe you’ll be ok with it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yep. Most people just scream he’s admitting sexual assault. What he’s saying is when you are rich, women let you do things.
Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it true? Yes. It’s why you see old fat men with young hot women.

What he’s describing is his privilege to make people do something they wouldn’t normally do because of his status. The word “let” does not imply consent. It simply implies they didn’t fight back, probably because they were scared for their wellbeing or life.
That’s still sexual assault.

No. It’s not. How do you think he got his wives? His good looks?
BobaFuttbucker@reddthat.com 8 months ago
That’s not a justification, and yes that’s still stealing.
Why are you defending an obvious piece of shit, while admitting he does piece of shit things?
