During his re-election campaign, the 78-year-old Republican politician was wound up in a series of cases against him, including a civil trial last year in which he was found liable\u00a0of sexually abusing and defaming the writer E Jean Carroll. However, he still denies the accusations despite Carroll winning two civil court judgments against him for $83.3 million. Similarly, Trump also\u00a0said that over two dozen other women who have accused him of sexual misconduct were all lying. Additionally, he is now\u00a0assembling a cabinet filled with individuals similarly accused of\u00a0variations of sexual misconduct and deny allegations against them just like Trump has. His selections have raised significant concerns regarding the\u00a0future of the #MeToo movement, a movement which profoundly impacted societal expectations around sexual misconduct over the past few years, the\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0reported. The kind of accusations that took down titans of Hollywood, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, Washington, the news media, sports and state capitals have proved no obstacle in Trump\u2019s selection process.Despite numerous allegations against several of his appointees, Trump proceeded to select individuals for key positions in his administration. He has appointed Matt Gaetz to head the Justice Department despite knowing that the Republican congressman has previously faced multiple accusations of sexual misconduct. Likewise, accusations against Robert F Kennedy Jr regarding inappropriate behaviour toward a family babysitter did not deter Trump from choosing\u00a0him to run the health department. Trump also overlooked claims that tech billionaire Elon Musk fostered a\u00a0sexually charged workplace\u00a0that treated women as objects while tasking him with reinventing government.\u00a0All of his nominees have denied intentional wrongdoing, and Trump appears to take them at their word. &#8220;It really feels like that\u2019s part of what makes this cabinet appealing\u201d to him, said Leigh Gilmore, the author of &#8216;The #MeToo Effect: What Happens When We Believe Women&#8217;. &#8220;Credible accusations of sexual assault aren\u2019t a red line, because those are a feature of Trump\u2019s own biography.&#8221; &#8220;The more people he can surround himself with that are not in any way slowed down by their rise to power by these kinds of allegations, it normalizes his own behavior,&#8221; said Gilmore. &#8220;He&#8217;s creating a worldview. He&#8217;s shifting norms as he moves.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan(National Times)- With his imminent return to the White House in January, United States President-elect Donald Trump is set to make history as the country&#8217;s first president found liable in a court case for sexual abuse.\u00a0 But, according to\u00a0a news analysis by the\u00a0New York Times, if Trump gets the team of his choice, he will [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":93148,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-93147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
