He knew she was 13

Trump's recent publicity coup, getting the world to focus on the possibility that he might be indicted for one thing or another, makes me angry simply because this is what he should be indicted for: He raped a 13-year-old girl.

Sure, the girl has disappeared. I'm sure she has money now and that bought her silence. But to me, this is what disqualifies him from running for president. Or from doing anything. He should be locked up.
