How Trump accidentally revealed his core ideology in an unguarded moment

AlterNet logoSince E. Jean Carroll came forward with her story of how Donald Trump raped her, the president’s denials have taken several forms. His first response was to deny knowing her, even though there is a picture of the two of them and their former spouses together at an event. Trump has also claimed that Carroll is simply lying to pump up sales of her book. But he added a claim during an interview with The Hill that ranks as one of the most disgusting things he has uttered since being elected president.

In an exclusive interview with The Hill, the president vehemently denied the allegations just hours after Carroll detailed the alleged incident during a cable news interview.

“I’ll say it with great respect:  Number one, she’s not my type. Number two, it never happened. It never happened, OK?” the president said while seated behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Trump Rages At Rape Accuser Carroll — But His Denial Includes An Obvious Lie

In a horrifying piece for The Cut, journalist E. Jean Carroll joined the more than a dozen women who have accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault and misconduct. Her story includes one of the worst allegations yet, that Trump forced her against a wall and raped her in a Bergdorf Goodman 23 years ago as she tried to fight him off.

The article already included a denial from the White House, but after the story was published, Trump issued a new statement attacking Carroll. And it included at least one clear lie.

“I’ve never met this person in my life,” the statement said. “She is trying to sell a new book—that should indicate her motivation.”
