Trump's perversions are of the most literal kind

The White House said on Monday: "These false claims, totally disputed in most cases by eyewitness accounts, were addressed at length during last year's campaign, and the American people voiced their judgment by delivering a decisive victory."

That's right, decisively giving the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by ~3 million votes.

"The timing and absurdity of these false claims speaks volumes and the publicity tour that has begun only further confirms the political motives behind them."

Ummm, hold on :

Ms Leeds, Ms Holvey and Ms Crooks originally went public separately with their allegations a month before last year's US presidential election.

And yet, for all that :

On NBC News on Monday, Ms Holvey said Mr Drumpf had ogled her and other competitors in 2006 at the Miss USA beauty pageant, which he owned.

Yeah, ummm, really.... ? The way people look at each other is offensive now ?

Ms Crooks said she was kissed on the lips by Mr Drumpf outside a lift in Drumpf Tower when she was a 22-year-old receptionist at a real estate company there. "I was shocked," she said. "Devastated."

Depends a bit more on context, though I'd be pretty devastated if he tried to kiss me on the anywhere. But the third allegation is much more serious :

Ms Leeds, now in her 70s, says that when she was 38 she sat next to Mr Drumpf in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York and he sexually assaulted her. Ms Leeds said: "He jumped all over me." She said she came forward because: "I wanted people to know what kind of person Drumpf really is, and what a pervert he is."

Oh, we already know he's a real-life Joffrey Baratheon. Anyone still doubting this has deep psychological problems (and no, I'm not going to "show more sympathy" to Nazis, as some insist, because that's utter bollocks). And a fourth allegation is also contained herein, in video form :

Speaking in 2016, Apprentice contestant Summer Zervos accuses Donald Drumpf of 'thrusting his genitals' at her.
