It's an all-or-nothing proposition. I know which one I would personally bet on being the liar.
What "stain"?
What does your version of this particular "stain" consist of?
Where on said dress is this "stain"?
How does this "stain" prove that he knows her?

You believe if you pay taxes it gives you some kind of special rights. Do tell.

If it's been 25 years since she had accused him , why had the media waited until just recently to run with it?

Yes, in this day, and age a president simply cannot say whatever happened before he took office is his personal business, it is now demanded that a president answer questions about his past.

And no, I am not a fan of Trump, in fact I can't stand him. But I do not believe E Jean Carroll. She says it happened 26 years ago and she still has his DNA on the dress that she was wearing. So she kept it as "proof" for that long but never once in 26 years thought about pursuing a case against him, until now? Wow. That defies credibility. And I would think that any applicable statutes of limitations have expired by now.
So she kept it for 26 years...and chooses to roll it out 2 months before the election? She has as much credibility as Chrissy Ford. Or Kammie Harris for that matter.

That is the crux of this, isn't it? How can defaming another person be a government official acting in his official capacity? Which government function entails defaming people?

Indeed, that is the real issue here.

We can't have it both ways. You either allow a president to say whatever happened before he was elected is off the table for discussion, or you demand a president answer questions about his past.

Pick one, it cannot be both.

Do you like our tax dollars being used to defend Trump’s libel rape case?

The Department Of Justice claim is absurd. Most likely after all the appeals the DOJ will eventually be found to not have standing in the case (after we have spent hundreds of thousands of taxpayer money on it), but Barr will successfully have postponed any depositions until after the 'very special day': November 3rd.

And for Trump and Barr that is the point, it is what matters the most. It's not about justice or fairness or honor ... and has nothing to do with Trump doing his 'job' as president.

So the answer is: no, I do not like to see this kind of abuse and corruption in our government.
