Of course I'm not a Donald Trump fan (despite him owing me money ) ..all my New York pals hated him with a vengeance for decades as they claimed he was lying, nasty, racist scumbag who never paid his bills, ripped off his workers and shareholders,was never a billionaire etc etc.

# My top NY social journo never took me to any Trump bashes as he said they were always horrendous with the cheapest booze and dreadful people...he reckons Trump would choose the guests (apart from the obvious hookers) to ensure no-one looked more "glamorous" than he.

But I'm fascinated by the disconnect over abuse and rape accusations, real or imagined.

So many, as we know have been almost destroyed by accusations..Cliff, Gambo, Harvey proctor, Lord Brammal etc..

but Trump really is the Teflon President and accusations like this seem to re-enforce his popularity among his fans. Weird or what?

## also shows that there are a disturbing number (millions) of Americans who are f*cking weirdos and trump is right when he says he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and get away with it.

### With the latest Iran incident: I reckon Trump being all bluster and fabrications freaked out as he hasn't a clue how to handle a real situation but is OK when he's shooting his mouth but War is too serious even for this bloke.

E. Jean Carroll: “Trump attacked me in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman.”
Carroll says that she disclosed the Trump incident to two friends at the time. One, whom Carroll describes as “a journalist, magazine writer, correspondent on the TV morning shows, author of many books, etc.,” told her to go to the police: “‘He raped you,’ she kept repeating when I called her. ‘He raped you. Go to the police! I’ll go with you. We’ll go together.’”

I think, Hedda, the ugly fact is that crimes like murder and rape are these days not really considered a problem in this ghastly immoral century whereas child abuse is a killer every time.

Sex seems to have been very much a theme in her career: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Jean_Carroll

e.g. "In "The Loves of My Life", (June 1995), she tracked down her old boyfriends and moved in with them and their wives.[12] Bill Tonelli, her Esquire and Rolling Stone editor, has commented: "All of E. Jean's stories are pretty much the same thing. Which is: ‘What is this person like when he or she is in a room with E. Jean?' She's institutionally incapable of being uninteresting."

Trump attempting to rape her is clearly "interesting", and she has a book out. Trump's rebuttal does sound believable.

yes it's that "pedo" nonce" garbage. I was going to (but can't be bothered ) point out that the illegal drug industry, probably the biggest criminal enterprise in the world, is now totally out of control.

## I believe they should all be legalised because..it never enters the minds of those who snort coke, take ice, smoke dope that they are participating in an industry where 10,000s of people are murdered or die from dodgy dope every year so they can toke on a joint.

I know plenty of journalists, TV stars etc who fulminate about "pedos" and fiddling priests etc but still happily go home or to a party and get stuck into the Bolivian Marching Powder not giving a stuff about the 12 hapless Mexicans who had their throats cut that day so they could get high.

## Hedda had 3 LSD trips but it was so long ago it was actual still legal and was provided by a shrink !!!
