His Burdensome DNA

This story seems to go a bit unnoticed, and I am not entirely sure why, but E. Jean Carroll, who a lot of folks basically know of, came out last year with a claim that a man who has been a notorious philanderer at least, and is a multiply-accused sex pest as we all should know, raped her after some light banter in the dressing room of a department store. 

He called her a liar and said she "wasn't his type". (His type, near as I can tell, is tall, blonde, cheerleader/homecoming queen/model types--E. Jean Carroll, albeit age-appropriate to Trump, is very much a tall, slender blonde.)

She is suing for defamation because he called her a liar. He wants it on hold because he is appealing a case with another woman he called a liar regarding sexual assault, thanks. 

She kept the dress from that encounter. She had it tested. Her counsel is now seeking a sample of his DNA. 

And Trump says no. Giving up his DNA would be "burdensome". It would take seconds (it's a cheek swab!), she doesn't want blood (which was drawn from President Clinton), and Clinton v. Jones makes very clear that a civil suit against a president is so possible. The remaining, unidentified DNA might not even be his. As was once said in another context: Donald--What have you go to lose?

It's a little like anything else with him; witnesses, documents, his tax returns, they are all indicators of a problem he would prefer not to address. So he fights tooth and nail over the evidence, until it starts to look a little bit like evidence, itself. Is he afraid that if he provides DNA evidence in this one situation, he will be subject now to comparative analysis for every claim? Were the wanderings of his penis this fraught?

Of course they were.  Jesus Jumping Criminy on a pogo-stick family values party, party of personal responsibility--this guy never takes personal responsibility, and has not proven himself to be a family values guy. What the entire hell? Is the GOP's support of him just a farcical flaunting of the degree to which their supposed values is just a hypocritical pose?

Boy, I guess. But why is it that the claims of so many women were this easily dismissed, from 2016 to the present, regarding Trump? Why is it even only slightly an issue that he paid to cover up his consensual sexual affairs? Shouldn't that be a bigger deal? Or it is just overshadowed by the possibility of things like "light treason" and "extortion of Ukraine for what his deeply complicit AG and the GOP in the Senate would do for free in the matter of the Bidens vs. the appearance of being money-grubbers" to skew the 2020 election?

Take the swab, Donny. What have you got to lose? Really. Lay it on out there for us: What. Have. You. Got. To Lose?

But regardless, even if it didn't get enough play in 2016--this is who stains the White House right now with his undeserved fucking approval when he is for so many women, emblematic of the way the powerful can use and abuse human beings and silence them afterwards. He is a disgrace. Of all the things I abhor, it is that he has apparently hurt people, quite purposefully, and is celebrated, defended, and protected by his privilege. Like his friendship with Epstein and the way this is rubbed in our faces.

What secrets even lurk in the heart of Trump's DNA, anyway, that it is so burdensome that three seconds will disrupt Trump's life? What sort of person would prefer not to know?
