A year and a half after the 2016 election and the media still insist (wrongly) that President Trump has bragged about sexually assaulting women. Funny, then, that the closest thing we have to any sexual misconduct by Trump is an alleged consensual affair from more than a decade ago with a porn star.

We were told we elected an unashamed “groper in chief.” It turns out we got Trump, who, if the affair with Stormy Daniels actually happened, doesn’t want people to know about it even 12 years later!

The reality is so much more boring than what the media said.

According to Daniels, she and Trump had a few encounters in 2006, which included sex in a hotel room. Trump denies it, though he has admitted that he reimbursed his attorney Michael Cohen for a $130,000 payment he made to Daniels in 2016 in exchange for her silence.

If it happened, and there's enough evidence to suggest it did, Trump committed adultery against his wife, first lady Melania Trump. But with the horrific things the media has said about Trump and women, that's like taking communion for him.

Virtually everything the media has said about Trump and women is a lie.

They said it was sexist when he said of his former Republican rival Carly Fiorina, “Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that?”

Also of Fiorina, Trump said, “She was using a trowel to put on makeup. I will not say that she was trying to cover up her ears.”

Actually that second quote was about Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a man. Trump also mocked the way Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and columnist George Will look (“Take away the glasses, he looks like a dumb guy.”).

Trump might be vicious but at least it's spread among all 71 genders.

The Los Angeles Times said it was “sexually suggestive” when Trump in December tweeted that “Lightweight” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., “would come to my office ‘begging’ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them).”

But he previously used almost the exact same language about Mitt Romney.

At a campaign rally in May 2016, Trump said, “He was begging for my endorsement. I could have said, 'Mitt, drop to your knees.' He would have dropped to his knees."

And then there was the hot-mic that caught Trump in the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape saying, “And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. … Grab them by the p—y. You can do anything.”

The New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino wrote a full year later the audio showed that Trump had “bragged about habitually committing sexual assault.”

In December last year, Time magazine said the tape “captured Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women.”

You can be grossed out about the banter without making the incredible leap from “And when you’re a star, they let you do it,” to See! He admitted to violating females! (By the way, it was Hillary Clinton fundraiser Harvey Weinstein who really was literally caught on tape admitting to grabbing a woman’s breast uninvited.)

That’s not what the tape showed and, if anything, the Stormy Daniels saga is revealing Trump to be a harmless old man.

She said she was a willing participant of their alleged affair and that the sex was unremarkable.

So much for all the groping we were warned about.
