President Donald J. Trump, a man who has been publicly accused by at least a dozen women of sexual assault and who once bragged about his ability to grab women's vaginas without their consent, has decided that people need to be more aware of sexual assault.
On Friday, Trump announced that April will be "National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month," continuing an annual tradition dating back to President Obama's first year in office. From the White House statement:
According to the Department of Justice, on average there are more than 300,000 instances of rape or other sexual assault that afflict our neighbors and loved ones every year. Behind these painful statistics are real people whose lives are profoundly affected, at times shattered, and who are invariably in need of our help, commitment, and protection.
As we recognize National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, we are reminded that we all share the responsibility to reduce and ultimately end sexual violence. As a Nation, we must develop meaningful strategies to eliminate these crimes, including increasing awareness of the problem in our communities, creating systems that protect vulnerable groups, and sharing successful prevention strategies.
My Administration, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, will do everything in its power to protect women, children, and men from sexual violence. This includes supporting victims, preventing future abuse, and prosecuting offenders to the full extent of the law.
A reminder:
Donald Trump: "You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything."
Billy Bush: "Whatever you want."
Trump: "Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything."
