Advice columnist E. Jean Carroll is selling a book of her steamy sexual misadventures and sure enough, there's a story about how Donald Trump, circa 1995 or 1996, raped the writer in the dressing room of the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York, a pretty extreme charge buried under a big pile of stories about men who supposedly exploited her. The Trump administration has denied the whole thing as "completely false."

I find it hard to believe. Carroll does name a long string of men who abused her one way or another, and some of them are #metoo poster boys, such as Les Moonves. It's easy to believe a story about him groping her in an elevator, because he did this sort of thing to so many others. Charges against Moonves have been substantiated. Trump's a different story, though. He's also been accused of sexual misbehavior, often just bad talk, not acts, but there's never been any substantiation.

Maybe that's why she placed her encounter with him at the bottom of her list, as a writer, she would know that you always put your strongest material first. Her hazy encounter with its serious charges (which are now shifting to look at Twitter) has the look of piling on, riding from other women's unsubstantiated accusations as if to score a political point. And she's not staying steady - she's now alternating between charges of assault and actual rape.

Trump himself points out that he's never met her and she is out to sell a book, which might explain why she never went public until now, even in the heat of the election back when everyone was trying to take Trump down or even moreso in the bitter aftermath.

Well at least one thing has been firmly established - there is a significant minority of absolutely credulous Trump hating brainstems waiting to give their money to anyone who will validate their antipathy towards this man.
