@lovelylovely the reason is they will get sued unless they are much more circumspect about their description of him. Neither the civil sexual assault judgement, nor the judge's latter description of it as rape except no penis was involved (if I recall correctly), would allow them to use the phrase "rapist Donald Trump" with impunity.

"Civilly adjudicated sexual assaulter" just doesn't roll off the tongue like "porn star" does.

How about "Self-confessed wannabe dictator Donald Trump?"
