If you believe this nonsense you're dumber than I thought. At the time, she would have been around 50, certainly well-aware of Trump's reputation and she mostly likely understood the position she was in when she followed him into the dressing room. If there were in fact a rape, she was in a retail upscale store in Midtown and she could have made enough noise that she would at least have witnesses. She says she was laughing during the incident. Why not just yell for HELP?Carroll—“and as I write this, I am staggered by my stupidity,” she states—went into the fitting room with him; Trump shoved her against the wall, unzipped his pants, and forced his penis inside her. Eventually, Carroll fought him off and ran away. She still carries around the shrapnel of this encounter, myriad pointed details lodged in her mind—such as the fact that, at the beginning of the struggle, she was so shocked that she was laughing. There is a limit, for everyone, to the uses of compartmentalization. Whether it’s “my age, the fact that I haven’t met anyone fascinating enough over the past couple of decades to feel ‘the sap rising,’ as Tom Wolfe put it, or if it’s the blot of the real-estate tycoon, I can’t say,” Carroll writes, closing her essay. “But I have never had sex with anybody ever again.”
