You are operating under the erroneous premise that women frequently make allegations of sexual misconduct for personal gain. That isn’t the case. False allegations are made by particular kinds of women in very particular sets of circumstances and has the same false report rate as other crimes. If Trump had been accused by 20 people of any other kind of crime, he never would have made it to the White House. Then there are also his own words which tend to corroborate what these women are saying about how the thinks about women and how he feels entitled to touch them.

“Furthermore, in the most detailed study ever conducted of sexual assault reports to police, undertaken for the British Home Office in the early 2000s, out of 216 complaints that were classified as false, only 126 had even gotten to the stage where the accuser lodged a formal complaint. Only 39 complainants named a suspect. Only six cases led to an arrest, and only two led to charges being brought before they were ultimately deemed false. (Here, as elsewhere, it has to be assumed that some unknown percentage of the cases classified as false actually involved real rapes; what they don’t involve is countless innocent men’s lives being ruined.)”
