Trump Makes April National Sexual Assault Prevention Month
You'll Roll Your Eyes So Hard at What Trump Just Said About Sexual Assault

On Friday, March 31, President Donald Trump proclaimed the month of April National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. Yes, really. The same man who was caught on audio saying that he likes to kiss women without their consent and suggested that he could grab women by the genitals if he wanted to because he is a celebrity. That man. Cue the eye rolls everywhere.
"My Administration, including the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services, will do everything in its power to protect women, children, and men from sexual violence," Trump announced, along with his plans to develop a special task force led by Attorney General Jeff Sessions that will discover ways to reduce the number of sexual assault crimes.
"As a Nation, we must develop meaningful strategies to eliminate these crimes, including increasing awareness of the problem in our communities, creating systems that protect vulnerable groups, and sharing successful prevention strategies."
Multiple women have come forward accusing Trump of sexually assaulting them, both before and after his 2005 Access Hollywood interview with Billy Bush leaked.
Sexual assault is a serious problem that deserves our attention — but we highly doubt Trump is the person to solve it.
