More on President Trump and Accusations of Sexual Assault

The plethora of allegations of sexual misconduct against President Trump has engendered a series of diverse responses. Many of the President's critics believe the accusations and moreover continue to slam the Commander-in-Chief as a sexual predator. However, others, including the majority of President Trump's base, remain skeptical.

A considerable amount of Trump supporters questioned the timing of the foregoing accusations. Due to their emergence during the 2016 Presidential election, Trump supporters viewed the allegations as political weapons employed to sabotage the then-future President's campaign.

Despite President Trump's election victory, his accusers have not remained silent. In December 2017, three of the women, including Crooks, appeared on Megyn Kelly TODAY to share their accounts.

Many women have also accused other male public figures of sexual assault. Some of these men have resigned from their professional positions or faced termination.

The whirlwind of accusations has moreover prompted observers to affirm that victims of abuse should come forth immediately. However, others have countered the aforesaid point, stating that people often have their reasons for waiting (sometimes decades) before reporting alleged incidents.

Ultimately, President Trump continues to deny all allegations of sexual misconduct against him and has yet to be found guilty in a court of law.
