He's a rapist too, isn't he?

He literally bragged about it before he was elected the first time.
I know we live in chaotic times and all but "grab them by the pussy" without clear consent is, in fact, sexual assault, no matter how much of a celebrity you are.
And there's a long trail of credible accusations against him ranging from various forms of sexual assault to unequivocal rape:

IANAL, but if you're asking for a technically-correct answer, it depends on which place's laws you're using for the statement.
If the crime can be done with hands and objects, yes.
If the crime requires an actual phallus, no. (It'd still be something else, like sexual assault.)
But if for some insane reason you do, you probably want to keep him and his cronies accountable to the law of the land. The conduct expected from someone with that history should be unimpeachable.
Instead, what we got is the conduct of someone who is unimpeachable. None of the rules apply to him or his friends, and neither do any of the checks and balances.
