We know Donald Trump is a serial misogynist. We know he has been accused of abuse by many women. But did we know Mr. Law and Order (supposedly) thinks men should be able to buy their way out of rape? Well, rich men at least.
Back in 1992, Trump proposed Mike Tyson, then facing sentencing on rape charges he’d already been convicted of, be allowed to buy his way out of going to jail. Trump’s proposal included “giving millions and millions of dollars” rather than going to jail for Tyson. So, I guess this solution to violent crime would only be available to rich me (like himself)? I guess if you had the money, under this proposal, Donald could rape at will (as some say he likes to do) and then just pay what amounts to a drop in the bucket for him. It appears he’d prefer that societal set up to paying taxes.
In addition, Trump complained that the violent fellow misogynist Tyson was being treated “punitive(ly).” Poor punitively treated Tyson ended up serving less than 3 years for the crime.
Maybe Trump just liked how Tyson harmed a young beauty contest winner, as Tyson’s victim was 18 year old Miss Rhode Island Desiree Washington. Or maybe Trump just liked that Tyson could make him millions of dollars for fights at his casinos? After all, if Donald pulled this off Tyson would owe him big time. In fact, Donald even proposed a fight between Evander Holyfield and Tyson to help pay for the no jail sentence gift. I wonder who’s casino Donald would have proposed? Had Trump’s idea gone forward, perhaps Holyfield would have gotten his ear bitten off by the psychotic Tyson a few years earlier.
