Donald Trump Goes Down
Donald Trump
got sentenced to
something like 15 counts
of abuse and defamation
of E. Jean Carroll.
His attorneys tried to say
that E. Jean
was not “his type.”
What “type” is that?
A type who has
a shred of self respect?
A type who
had the sense to make
a legal accusation?
A type too smart
to be pummeled into
keeping quiet?
Is there a “type”
that makes it OK
To rape
To abuse
To demean
To deface?
What a terrible legal argument,
and what a terrible thing to say.
I am glad he
is getting his comeuppance
