    According to the defamation lawsuit Trump committed sexual assault. And since common parlance doesnt differentiat between sexual assault and rape you could probably call him a rapist.

      And according to the counter suit, carol is allowed to call him a rapist.

      Remember, you don’t have to be convicted of rape to be a rapist, you are not innocent and then magically guilty. It is merely a presumption of innocence until proven so, but that’s a procedural thing to prevent the courts from infringing on rights. It has absolutely nothing to do with the true facts of guilt.

      It’s not defamation.

      All rape is sexual assault, not all sexual assault is rape. Calling all sexual assault rape dilutes the term.
