With this (literally) decades old allegation from Carroll that trump tried to **** her, POTUS' response was:
"I'll say it with great respect: Number one, she's not my type. Number two, it never happened"
Basically it's the defense that she's so ugly he wouldn't **** her even if he had the chance. He's taking a lot of flack for that response, but was it really that bad of a retort in terms of legitimacy?
I get why it's a horrible thing to say and it alludes that there are "types" of women that he would ****. But as a criminal allegation defense, and coming from this guy, it almost seems like the best, most believable thing he could say to prove his innocence. If anything, coming from him, I think I'd believe him now over any other excuse he could have made.
Again, for most people it's not a defense. But in his particular case, given his character, history etc, it actually feels legit. And that's also scary.
