The United States President Donald Trump has been the centre of sexual misconduct allegations made by at least 19 women since the 1980s.

He has been sued three times including a suit by his then-wife Ivana who made a rape claim during their 1989 divorce litigation. All the suits were withdrawn. Some of the allegations were public before his presidency and others came up during and after his campaign for office.
A 2005 audio recording that was leaked during the 2016 presidential campaign implicated Trump who was bragging that he “can do anything” to women. He can “just start kissing them … I don’t even wait” and “grab ’em by the pussy”. He denied behaving that way toward women and later threatened to sue all of his accusers.
Trump has also been accused by several former Miss USA and Miss Teen USA contestants of entering their dressing rooms in 1997, 2000, 2001, and 2006, while they were dressing up. He owned the Miss Universe franchise and had said in an interview in 2005 that he could “get away with things like that”.
Donald Trump is still the president of the United States and he has actively supported all the men accused of sexual misconduct in his government and blamed the victims and media of a political smear campaign.
