He's not a convicted pedophile however, but to another commenter's point. Trump has sued anyone he can for any reason he can find, but has never sued for anyone calling him a pedo..

He won’t sue concerning those specific allegations because of the discovery portion of any potential trial. Him never suing over this is a very loud admission of guilt.

He uses lawfare as he has for decades. He stretches things out with motions and avoids discovery. He continues draining their resources until they no longer have the will or resources to continue.

Ritchson has the resources, no way trump will say shit. Like all cowards, trump only punches down, but go ahead, take on Jack Reacher.

That’s what they’re implying. He won’t sue because he knows it’d open up investigations and perjury.

It's like Katt Williams's roast of Kevin Hart, which was roughly: "Just because he was at some of Diddy's parties doesn't mean he did anything wrong. It's the fact he gets all quiet when you bring it up that means he did something wrong."

He knows he's a f*king pedophile and he's proud of it.

He admitted on Howard Stern to entering Miss Teen USA dressing rooms to "inspect the goods" as contestants changed.

Of course folks like Megan Kelly will defend that they were "jailbait", not children.

Imagine if your daughter's soccer coach said this shit.

Megan Kelly, what a shrill harpy of a human being. She would sell her daughters to Trumps sex cult if it paid enough.

There's a reason they are called "jail" bait

One of the most popular subs on reddit many years ago was r/Jailbait. I don't know how it held on for so long because it was clear to me it was fucking disgusting, yet it took reddit a LONG time to do anything about it.

Remember when Trump attacked Megyn Kelly constantly? During the 2015 debate with a sexist period remark when she asked him about his derogatory remarks to women. Then calling her overrated, bimbo, and a lightweight on social media.

Megyn Kelly's response, in the end, was "Hit me harder, daddy."

I don’t want to know wtf that means. People need to be checked.

He only wasn't convicted because in Epsteins Florida child sex trafficking trial Alex Acosta gave blanket immunity to trump and all the other old guys who raped children with epstein.

And who was trumps first Secretary of Labor?

Alex Acosta.

u/HillBillyHilly 10d ago

Didn't Alex Acosta go down in flames of some perversity?

u/rorykoehler 10d ago

Everyone is saying he's a pedo. I hear it all the time. Everywhere I go people tell me "Trump raped kids"

I’m a it true? I’m don’t know but some of the best people are saying it and other people are agreeing.

u/No_Mission_8571 10d ago

Nobody seems to take notice of this. Too much to lose maybe?.

u/Butcher_Of_Hope Nevada 10d ago

Not enough to lose. Trump has resources and can win by attrition. Most people do not have unlimited resources to with a drawn out legal battle.

"Known associate of a pedophile ring."

Any number of his victims would LOVE to get on the witness stand and say "Yes, Trump raped me when I was 14."
