Should President Trump be investigated for sexual assault? | The Tylt

While President Trump's alleged affair with a porn star has been dominating the news cycle, many are asking why Trump's accusers haven't been taken seriously. According to The New York Times, 51 high-profile men have been accused of sexual misconduct since Harvey Weinstein. And for the first time, their stories are being believed. 

But when it comes to the president, it seems different rules apply. While many are happy to see progress being made on this front, some wonder why President Trump, who has been accused of harassment or assault by 19 women, has yet to be investigated. Democratic House members are planning to bring sexual assault survivors to Trump's State of the Union address, but a formal investigation into the allegations against the president has yet to happen.

Some have argued that there would be no #MeToo moment if Donald Trump had not been elected, even after being accused of various forms of misconduct, from groping to rape. But in recent weeks several of Trump’s accusers have said that while they’re happy sexual harassment is being discussed more openly, they’re still dismayed that their own stories seem to have had little impact.

Many have expressed outrage that President Trump has not been investigated for alleged sexual assault and harassment, and are calling on Congress to do something about it.

Some members of Congress have called on Trump to resign altogether.

But others think the attacks on President Trump are part of a partisan smear campaign aimed at bringing him down. After reports came out claiming attorney Lisa Bloom sought compensation for some of the Trump accusers, many felt this proved his accusers weren't telling the truth.
