Article date: September 30, 2016

The way this is presented by OP can be seen as misleading by implying it was recent.

I am all for making sure everyone knows how horrible he is, however do it correctly by giving context in the title. (Not that it makes it any less despicable if it happened years ago vs yesterday!)

"Donald Trump's entire life has led to his election as the country's 45th, 48th, and final President. Therefore, everything he did leading up to it is hereby declared an Official Act. Furthermore, Grand Moff Trump officially declares that the attorneys who filed this frivolous lawsuit will be subject to re-education at our new camp on the southern coast of Cuba."

This article was from 2016, I am pretty sure it was dropped or settled out of court, don't get excited for justice here, this won't be where it comes from.

Plaintiff vanished....

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What I read at the time was that it was dropped because of the death threats the victim was getting.

Hang on guys, maybe it was an official rape.

Does anyone know if child-rape can be considered an official act?

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

If Trump says so.
