Culture War Roundup for the Week of June 24, 2019

Her account:

The moment the dressing-room door is closed, he lunges at me, pushes me against the wall, hitting my head quite badly, and puts his mouth against my lips. I am so shocked I shove him back and start laughing again. He seizes both my arms and pushes me up against the wall a second time, and, as I become aware of how large he is, he holds me against the wall with his shoulder and jams his hand under my coat dress and pulls down my tights.

I am astonished by what I’m about to write: I keep laughing. The next moment, still wearing correct business attire, shirt, tie, suit jacket, overcoat, he opens the overcoat, unzips his pants, and, forcing his fingers around my private area, thrusts his penis halfway — or completely, I’m not certain — inside me.

It's certainly not clearly consent, but inviting a man into a dressing room to try on underwear and then laughing as he starts getting physical could certainly be reasonably interpreted as consent. Even taking her account at face value, it seems like she's miscommunicated consent to Trump and only corrected the misunderstanding once his dick is already inside her.
