Reposted by AaronRachel Hallie @dazedrachel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Actually, willingness to whitewash Trump is another sign of misogyny. This man was a rapist before his presidency was a twinkle in Steve Bannon's eye. If I hear one more person claim he could have been just a sassy Broadway producer, I'm going to scream. Non-political Trump is still a rapist. 0196
