With the silence breakers being labeled Time's Person of the Year the crime of sexual assault is under the microscope. Since so many allegations have turned out to be alarmingly true, more and more have stepped up ousting men who have been taking advantage of others for years. Unsurprisingly this controversy has now reached to Donald Trump. There are allegations against him that came up in the race, but since he was still elected the general consensus must have been that the allegations were false. In light though of the recent situation of Roy Moore it is obvious voters tend to be lenient with politicians when it comes to these accusations. Trump has been quoted saying vulgar statements about taking advantage of women, so I don't think it would be a huge shock to the American Public to find out he has taken advantage of women.
It will be interesting to see how this situation is handled with someone in such a high position of power. This is similar in nature to the situation with Monica Lewinsky, presidential sex scandals are taboo and definitely tricky to deal with.
I agree with you I think it will definitely be interesting to see how this works out
