Sure, Don. Ask E. Jean Carroll about your claim about not being a rapist.
Trump sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes’ host Norah O’Donnell and talked about the events that occurred at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD). At one point, Ms. O’Donnell read to trump a passage from the alleged shooter’s manifesto where he said he was targeting administration officials and an unnamed “rapist” and “pedophile.” Of course, Trump responded in his normal (or what is normal for him) fashion by insulting and ‘shooting the messenger.”
This is a good time to re-read the decision in Carroll v. Trump.

“He appears to reference a motive,” O’Donnell said. “In it, he writes this: quote, ‘Administrative officials, they are targets.’ He also wrote this: ‘I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction to that?”
“Well, I was waiting for you to read that, because I knew you would. Because you’re horrible people. Horrible people,” Trump spat. “Yeah, he did write that. I am not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody.”
“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?” O’Donnell asked.
“Excuse me. Excuse me. I am not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person,” Trump continued. “I got associated with all stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated. Your friends on the other side of the plate are the ones that were involved with, let’s say, Epstein or other things.”
Trump added, “But I said to myself, you know, I’ll do this interview and they’ll probably — I read the manifesto. It was a sick person. But you should be ashamed of yourself reading that, because I’m not any of those things. And I was never —”
“Mr. President, these are the words the gunman,” O’Donnell interrupted.
“Excuse me. Excuse me,” Trump said. “You shouldn’t be reading that on 60 minutes. You’re a disgrace. But go ahead, let’s finish the interview.”
At the end of the interview with the adjudicated rapist and possible pedophile, Ms. O’Donnell fed Trump’s insatiable ego by telling him the White House Correspondents Association appreciated the fact he took time away from his zillionth, taxpayer funded golf game to attend the dinner.
