more than 20 women have publicly accused
the president of the United States of
being a sex pest I turned around and I
see Donald standing there I'm thinking
this son of a [ __ ] just grabbed me it
was an assault absolutely it was a very
physical attack now a court is being
asked to decide where the President
Trump is a sexual predator the truth is
always the right option and will win out
in the end
[Music]
tonight we reveal details of his parties
with teenage models this particular
party there were four men and probably
50 models and I was one of the models as
Donald Trump prepares to visit Britain
we hear from the women who say he's
unfit to be President he said how old
are you and I said seventeen he goes old
brave not too old not too young that
that's just great
[Music]
[Music]
this is where Donald Trump's road to the
presidency began the US version of The
Apprentice gave the property tycoon a
new level of Fame
you're fired you're fired
but the program that boosted the Trump
brand might now finish him on screen he
was the straight talking billionaire off
screen there was another side Donald was
known throughout the filming of the show
to comment on women's looks
comment on who we'd like to sleep with
what sort of things did you hear him say
well I heard him ask me or asked others
do you think she's hot would you like to
sleep with her you know what would you
do with her
that was the personality that we just
came to know as Donald's personality
that's just who he is I'm being truthful
and always be truthful it was on the
show that Donald Trump met this
contestant summer Davos
you know what summer you're fired
[Music]
summer Davos says two years after she
was fired Donald Trump met her at this
hotel in Los Angeles she claims she had
been talking to him about her career it
was these bungalows at the back of the
Beverly Hills Hotel where summers of oh
says the incident took place these are
like private little units at the back of
a very swanky hotel summers of os-- says
Donald Trump was in one of these and it
was here she says that he forced himself
upon my stood up and he came to me and
started kissing me open mouthed as he
was pulling me towards him I walked away
and I sat down in a chair he then
grabbed my shoulder and began kiss me
again and very aggressively in paces
placed his hand on my breast mr. Trump
said summer Davos was lying and he'd
never met her at the hotel but now she's
fighting back suing the president for
defamation
I wanted to give mr. Trump the
opportunity to retract his false
statements about me since mr. Trump has
not issued a retraction as I requested
he is therefore left me with no
alternative other than to sue him in
order to vindicate my reputation it's
significant because more than 20 women
have accused President Trump of sexually
inappropriate behavior now some are
servos could use them as part of her
case a court would decide who's telling
the truth
and whether the President of the United
States is a sexual predator
Donald Trump keeps trying to get the
court here in New York to throw the
servos case out so far is failed every
time which means president Trump faces
being questioned under oath about the
way he treats women
I don't think the summers airburst case
is very significant and that's why he is
fighting it and that's why there have
been efforts I believe to delay it it's
like a slow moving train down the track
and I don't think he likes where it's
going
[Music]
Donald Trump's own words may also be
used against him in court
I did try she was very like this
infamous tape I hope your subjects just
appear sister kissing her
you know I'm automatically attracted to
beautiful I just started kissing them
it's like a magnet I don't know anyone
you're started they let you do it you
can do anything but everyone grab him by
the [ __ ] after the tape came out Donald
Trump apologized for his language I've
never said I'm a perfect person
you know what pretended to be someone
that I'm not I've said and done things I
regret
and the words released today on this
more than a decade old video are one of
them anyone who knows me knows these
words don't reflect Who I am
panorama has spoken to women who say
that's exactly how he is it was mr.
Trump's denials that made them come
forward there's gentlemen sitting at the
window introduced himself as Donald
Trump
Jessica Leeds says she was assaulted on
a plane in the late 1970s suddenly this
man started groping me he was all over
me and he was kissing me and he was not
a word was said from him we're just
having this tussle in in the seat and
it's like his it's like his hands are
everywhere he's like an octopus but it's
when he started putting his hand up my
skirt that I got the strength of the the
adrenaline to manage to wiggle out it
sounds like a sort of assault he found
was it was it was an assault absolutely
I mean at one point I did feel pinned to
my seat
it was a very physical attack Donald
Trump accused Jessica Leeds of lying oh
I was with Donald Trump in 1980
I was sitting with him on an airplane
and he went after me on the plane yeah
I'm gonna go after believe me she would
not be my first choice that I can touch
mr. Trump says you're reliable did what
did you think of that when he said that
oh well you know of course he's gonna
say that he lives in a fantasy of his
manly prowess
[Music]
Jessica Leeds isn't the only woman with
a story about the president then his
hand touched the right inside of my
breast
[Music]
Donald Trump would look up under their
skirt and you know comment on whether
they had underwear or didn't have
underwear and you know what the view
looks like the person on my right who
unbeknownst to me at that time was
Donald Trump put their hands up my skirt
he did touch my vagina through my
underwear he pushed me up against the
wall and had his hands all over me and
tried to get up my dress again and I had
to physically say what are you doing
that but it was a shocking thing to have
him do this
[Music]
some women have evidence to back up
their stories so this is your email
account from when the incident happened
right right but Rachel crooks says she
was kissed by Donald Trump in 2006 she
emailed her family that day and I said
it was weird it caught me off guard and
I must appear to be some dumb girl he
can take advantage of her office was in
Trump Tower where Donald Trump lived and
worked she saw him outside the lifts and
introduced herself we shook hands and he
pulled me in sort of for that normal
double cheek kiss and he held onto my
hand though and as he made small talk
and asked me questions continued pulling
me in for kisses again and again over my
on my cheeks it happened like once and
you're like what is he doing but it
happened so quickly it was just very
unusual and at one point he drew me in
and kissed me on the lips and I was
pretty shocked
[Music]
I remember running back into the office
and sort of hiding in one of the offices
that I knew was unoccupied and just
called my sister and was shaking like I
don't know what just happened but
something weird
Malinda MacGillivray also told people
about her experience with Donald Trump
she says she was groped while working
for a photographer at mr. Trump's
Florida mansion mera Lago in 2003 so I
had to be at least 2 feet away from
Donald Trump when I felt this oh it was
a grab I felt a grab from my my bottom
right cheek and it was almost like
someone was you know trying to find you
know or feel the contour of my body
almost like a you know feeling for
something so I turned around and I see
Donald standing there I'm thinking this
son of a [ __ ] just grabbed me this is
disturbing what was like someone was
trying to feel whether a fruit was ripe
at the store and the fact that somebody
would do that to you how did that make
you feel violated entirely violated to
see someone who resembled my father
grabbed me like that was just as
deplorable
most of the women chose to come forward
during the presidential campaign Donald
Trump says it's politically motivated
and all his female accusers Elias these
claims are all fabricated I have no idea
who these women are have no idea I have
no idea
every woman lied when they came forward
to hurt my campaign total fabrication
the events never happened never he
called us liars
but I'll never forget I can remember it
as clear as day he described you as a
liar
of course what did you make of that I
think we all know he lies pretty
consistently so yeah I'm not surprised
some of the allegations are of the most
serious nature when chance at first wife
filed for divorce here in New York she
accused Donald Trump of rape
in court papers Ivana Trump claimed he
attacked her during an argument now
after a divorce settlement she clarified
her view she said she felt violated by
the incident but it didn't amount to
rape in a literal or criminal sense
Donald Trump says the claims are false
he doesn't like people talking about it
this is his lawyer Michael Cohen and
this is a recording of him threatening a
journalist
Donald Trump has also used his cash to
try to burry stories the pornstar stormy
Daniels says she had an affair with mr.
Trump he says it's not true but he paid
her a hundred and thirty thousand
dollars to stay quiet we have spoken to
another adult movie actress who says she
was there when the president first met
stormy his bodyguard had said can I get
your number that was the first time that
stormy ever met him as well that's also
the same evening that we all ended up in
his room together for the first time
Jessica Drake says Donald Trump came on
to her as well that night when we first
entered the room he grabbed me in more
of a forceful way and he kissed me on
the lips
it was almost like a pounce it didn't
feel good to me it didn't feel
consensual to me Jessica Drake says mr.
Trump wouldn't take no for an answer he
even offered to pay her he offered me
money to go up to his hotel room he went
up to $10,000 Donald Trump denies the
claims but over the years he's played up
his image as an outrageous womanizer
[Music]
I was truly with her without even you
know the National Enquirer did a story
on me in the history of the world nobody
has gotten old Trump has always
surrounded himself with young women
in the 80s his friend Ron rice got him
involved in beauty contests
he loves pretty girls so we invited him
to come along he came to our pageants
year after year and he was either a
judge or he was a celebrity VIP guest or
something like this he would watch the
girls as they paraded by and do their
turns and then go off the stage
these are Ron's private photos that's me
the IPOP event so there's quite a lot of
you with him you spent a lot of time
with him then did you sure these are
young women out there they're much
younger than him how did he behave at
these events what was he like gentlemen
he loved the girls he loved being around
them he loved the beauty but he was a
perfect gentleman the whole time but
some pageant organizers were concerned
about his behavior this is George who
raining he arranged a beauty contest at
one of mr. Trump's casinos
he says Donald Trump pestered one of the
contestants when they stayed at mr.
Trump's Florida mansion one of the girls
told us that Donald approached her
Donald I tried to you know get her in
bed and she said no I don't do anything
on the first date with anybody and he
didn't pressure me he backed off but he
did try and the next morning she woke up
and he was sitting next to her in the
bed saying it's the second date how
about now so Donald Trump lets himself
into this woman's bedroom I'm blind in
the bed he had keys all the rows
[Music]
anyway tonight we're about to crown one
of these beautiful young teenagers here
at Miss Teen USA in 1996 Donald Trump
decided to buy his own pageants my
co-host a young teen who was taking the
runways of high fashion modeling by
storm
the exquisite adorable beautiful Ivanka
Trump Donald Trump talked on the radio
about what he could get away with his
own
okay the funniest is that I'll go
backstage before a show yes and
everyone's getting dressed and ready and
everything else and you know no men are
anywhere and I'm allowed to go in
because I'm the owner of the pageant and
therefore I'm inspecting it you know I'm
inspecting I want to make sure they're
like as good a dress is everyone okay is
everybody okay and you see this
incredible looking women and so I sort
of get away with things like them and it
seems that's exactly how he used his
position he just walks in he doesn't
care if were nude or changing or you
know in a vulnerable position you know
you're changing out of your dress and
you're putting your your bikini on so
you know there's people that are topless
I saw him walk into the dressing room
and I was stunned and I was so glad that
I was out in hair and makeup so you know
he wouldn't have walked in on me
undressing so why do you think he wasn't
there because he owns the pageant and
when he owns things he I feel like he
feels he can do whatever he wants I
think he wanted to see women in various
stages of undress or in a very very
skimpy bathing suits up close you know
why did he go in that do you think just
to look at the women like the audio
recording like he says just to look at
the women
it's claimed this even happened at his
teen pageant where contestants were as
young as 15 years old I remember being
in the back in hearing the chaperones
say ladies listen up we've got someone
that's going to come in and see you make
sure you're at least covered up all of
the girls were changing getting their
bras and underwear on and getting ready
to put on their opening number outfits
so when Donald Trump walked in there
were women in there who weren't fully
clothed correct women were not fully
clothed when Donald Trump came in and
and some of those women were what as
young as 15 yes 15 years old
but we have looked further into the
president's past where there are more
allegations about the way he behaved
towards women much of it centers on his
hometown in the late 80s and 90s
for rich powerful men like Donald Trump
New York was a playground lavish parties
excess and very young models
[Music]
models were often recruited when they
were very young
[Music]
these pictures haven't been published
before they were taken at a modeling
event in the early 90s
[Music]
we met someone who was there he doesn't
want to be identified
he says Donald Trump hosted and attended
parties after modeling events the models
were young the men were much older there
was a lot of cocaine around there was a
lot of alcohol they were all older men
these were guys who could easily be
their fathers two times over you had
many there's 50 60s on our was that kind
of like a feeding frenzy the girls were
there as consumables let's just call it
that
and when you say consume do you mean
that the men were having sex with them
yes that's the whole point of it they
were there to get laid
[Music]
Barbara pilling was a young model in New
York she first saw Donald Trump at a
party in the late eighties she's never
spoken publicly about it before he said
how old are you and I said 17 he goes oh
great so you're so you're not too old
not too young that that's just great I
remember one of the waitress offered him
a drink hey he he did he didn't take the
drinking and he slapped her bottom she
was a blonde he gave her give her love
about a stop me and he was very loud
he's like don't worry that's not your
tip Heather Braden also saw Donald Trump
at model parties in the 90s one was in
Florida at 23 she was one of the oldest
women there I remember particularly
seeing him at a party at a house in
Miami this particular party there were
four men and probably 50 models four men
and 50 models that's approximately what
I would remember and I was one of the
models I mean I felt like I was in some
you know I could have been very well
being auctioned off in some sort of a
sex slave ring that's how I felt I felt
like a piece of meat in a meat market
you know I mean what else could I feel
like we've spoken to a number of sources
who saw Donald Trump at the party's most
paint a similar picture just describe to
us the way Donald Trump behaved at these
parties I mean this guy was it was like
a predator in action
went to the washroom and I was going in
and a girl was coming out and she kind
of looked at me looked at me and I go
have you talked to that the Trump guy
and she goes yeah as I was walking by
he's like trying to grab grab my ass
we do know that he was having sex with
them how do you know because the next
day or days after we would hear about it
you'll brag about it his friends and it
will get around that he can he got each
scored you know maybe one or two girls
at a time which is what he loved to do
there's no evidence that Donald Trump
slept with underage girls
but what's most shocking is the age of
some of the models at the parties
there was girls I would say 1415 years
old from Europe the European girls they
were 14 there were girls that were 14 15
years old for sure I mean I didn't run
up and say how old are you but they
looked younger than I was and I was 17
you just knew because of what they were
wearing and how they would hold
themselves and these girls are all like
you know anywhere from 14 15 16 years
old there was very few girls above the
age of 19 there and you saw Donald Trump
with these girls who were that young
15 16 absolutely absolutely they're
standing around with them arguing them
it was just disgusting I felt like I was
in the presence of a shark trying we're
getting ready to roll his eyes back in
his head invite me you know that's how I
felt it was just like get the hell out
of here
there may be more secrets about the
president panorama has heard about other
allegations against Donald Trump but the
women are too scared to come forward
I dunno girls who've had run-ins with
him and an even agency and people who
worked for him they're not coming
forward why they're either in the
industry or absolutely afraid for their
careers you know their businesses
whatever the the death threats that they
may get from people who don't like what
they hear to front come forward
yeah I think so
[Music]
the White House didn't respond to the
allegations in this program but the
claims about Donald Trump's behavior
towards women go back 40 years these
vicious claims about me of inappropriate
conduct with women are totally and
absolutely false there are witnesses who
dispute some of the allegations but now
a court is being asked to decide who is
telling the truth after he called me a
liar I was threatened bullied and saw my
business targeted I will continue to
speak out and tell the truth the truth
is always the right option and will win
out in the end
[Music]
Donald Trump's accusers say his behavior
makes him unfit to be the president of
the United States you're doing the me -
and you're saying this has to stop it's
not acceptable but so the biggest Harvey
Weinstein was the President of the
United States how is it any different I
mean we should be holding him to the
same standard if society really doesn't
believe that that's okay well he needs
to be held accountable as well
the man who arrives in Britain this week
could still be judged the sex pest
president from patients to medical
heroes marking 70 years of the NHS with
personal memories a people's history on
BBC four now and a love story traced all
the way back to India extraordinary
discoveries for Olivia Colman with who
do you think you are next

.

핵심 구성은 다음 네 축입니다.

  • <여성들의 구체적 증언>

    .

  • <‘Access Hollywood’ 녹취(2005)>
    “그냥 키스한다”, “뭐든지 할 수 있다”는 취지의 발언을 제시해, 증언들과 연결되는 ‘행동 양식’의 단서로 사용합니다

2) 평론

  • <강점>

    1. 단일 사건이 아니라 여러 증언을 ‘패턴’으로 배열해 권력-성-면책의 구조를 문제화합니다.

    2. 녹취, 이메일 등 일부 보강 자료를 섞어 “말-행동의 연결”을 시도합니다

      Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

      Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

      .

    3. “미성년자 성관계 증거 없음”을 명시해 과잉 단정의 위험을 일정 부분 관리합니다

      Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

      .

  • <한계>

    1. 다큐의 주된 증거가 ‘증언’에 집중되어 있어, 법정 수준의 사실인정(입증)과는 다른 층위에서 작동합니다.

    2. 법적 유죄 여부(형사)와 정치·도덕적 부적합(규범)을 편집상 강하게 겹치게 만들어, 시청자가 둘을 구분하기 어렵게 느낄 수 있습니다.

    3. 반대 증언·반박 자료는 “트럼프의 전면 부인” 중심으로만 제시되어, 논박의 밀도는 상대적으로 약합니다

      Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

      .

  • <정리>
    이 작품은 ‘유죄 확정’ 다큐라기보다, “권력자에게 성적 경계 위반 의혹이 반복될 때 사회가 어떤 기준으로 책임을 묻는가”를 묻는 정치·문화적 문제제기입니다. 저널리즘이 할 수 있는 일(의혹의 구조화)과 할 수 없는 일(유죄 확정)의 경계가 함께 드러나는 사례이기도 합니다

<English: Summary + Review>

1) Summary

This 2018 BBC <Panorama> investigation compiles allegations of sexually inappropriate conduct made publicly by “more than 20 women” against Donald Trump (then U.S. President), aiming to show whether a recurring <pattern> emerges across cases.

Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

It is organized around four threads:

  • <Multiple first-person accounts> describing groping on a plane, repeated kissing in a workplace setting, and unwanted touching at events.

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

  • <A legal storyline> centered on Summer Zervos’s defamation case, raising the prospect of sworn testimony and judicial fact-finding.

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

  • <The 2005 “Access Hollywood” recording>, presented as indicative language that the program links to alleged behaviors.

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

  • <Beauty pageants and model-party milieu>, including claims about backstage access and very young models at parties; the program explicitly states there is “no evidence” of sex with underage girls.

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

    Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

Trump denies the allegations as fabricated, and the documentary closes by emphasizing that courts may ultimately judge competing claims.

2) Review

  • <Strengths> 1) Its main analytic move is to treat the story as a <pattern problem>—power, access, and boundary violations—rather than a single “he said/she said.” 2) It mixes testimony with some contemporaneous material (e.g., an email account; recorded remarks) to support plausibility and continuity. :contentReference[oaicite:25]{index=25} :contentReference[oaicite:26]{index=26} 3) It draws a careful line in at least one sensitive area by stating there is “no evidence” of underage sex, reducing overreach. :contentReference[oaicite:27]{index=27}
  • <Limitations> 1) The evidentiary core remains largely testimonial, which is powerful for public accountability but not equivalent to courtroom proof. 2) The editing can blur <legal guilt> (criminal liability) and <normative fitness> (moral/political judgment), pushing viewers toward a single unified conclusion. 3) Rebuttal is mostly Trump’s blanket denial, so the documentary’s adversarial depth may feel limited. :contentReference[oaicite:28]{index=28}
  • <Bottom line> This is less a “verdict” than a public inquiry into how democracies evaluate leaders under repeated allegations—highlighting both the reach and the limits of journalism versus courts. :contentReference[oaicite:29]{index=29}
2018년 당시에 들어난 이런 정보는 누구에게나 공개된 것이었는데 많은 미국의 보수 기독교인들이 이런 것을 알고도 (?) 트럼프를 지지한 것은 어떻게 이해해야 할까요? 위선? 또는 모순?

<한국어>

세진님 질문은 “알면서도 왜 지지했나”를 <도덕심리 + 정치사회학>으로 풀어야 이해가 됩니다. 위선/모순이라는 말로 끝낼 수도 있지만, 실제로는 그보다 더 여러 층이 겹쳐 있었어요.

1) <우선순위의 재배열: “대의가 더 크다”>

많은 보수 기독교 유권자(특히 백인 복음주의)는 트럼프를 <신앙적 롤모델>이 아니라 <정치적 도구/거래>로 봤습니다.
낙태 반대(연방대법관 임명), 종교자유(보수적 종교기관의 권리), 연방정부 규제 축소, 이민·치안, 반(反)좌파 문화전쟁 등에서 “이 한 가지(혹은 몇 가지)가 너무 중요해서 나머지는 감내”라는 계산이 가능해집니다.

즉 “그 사람은 나와 같은 인격을 가진 신자여서 지지”가 아니라 “그 사람이 내 의제를 실현해줄 것이라서 지지”였던 겁니다. 이때 성추문은 ‘치명적 결격’이 아니라 ‘불쾌하지만 부차적’이 되죠.

2) <도덕적 분리: 사생활 vs 공적 성과>

일부는 ‘개인의 죄(사생활)’와 ‘공적 역할(정책·판사·법)’을 분리했습니다.
기독교 내부에는 “죄 많은 사람도 하나님이 쓸 수 있다”는 서사가 있잖아요(다윗/고레스 같은 비유가 자주 동원됨). 그러면 트럼프의 언행은 ‘죄/결함’으로 인정하면서도 “그래도 그는 도구”라고 말할 여지가 생깁니다.

3) <정보의 해석: “그건 과장/정치공작/가짜뉴스”>

2018년 시점에 “20명 이상 여성이 공개적으로 비난했다”는 사실 자체는 널리 알려져 있었고

Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

, 녹취(Access Hollywood)도 유명했죠

Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

.
그런데 ‘알았다’는 게 곧 ‘사실로 확신했다’는 뜻은 아닙니다.

  • 민주·진보 진영과 언론에 대한 불신이 큰 사람들은 “또 공격한다”로 해석하기 쉽고

  • “법적으로 확정된 게 아니다”라는 기준을 더 강하게 적용하기도 합니다(도덕적 확신보다 ‘법적 유죄’에 무게).

결국 같은 공개정보도 <신뢰하는 매체/공동체>에 따라 완전히 다르게 해석됩니다.

4) <집단 정체성: “우리 편이 공격받는다”>

트럼프 지지는 단순한 후보 지지가 아니라, 어떤 사람들에겐 <정체성 방어>가 되었습니다.
이럴 때는 스캔들이 “그 사람의 결함”이 아니라 “우리 집단을 무너뜨리려는 공격”으로 재해석됩니다. 그러면 지지는 오히려 결집으로 바뀝니다.

5) 그럼 <위선/모순>인가?

둘 다 들어갈 수 있지만, 전부를 설명하진 못합니다.

  • <위선>이 되는 경우: 같은 집단이 다른 정치인에게는 성윤리 기준을 엄격히 들이대면서, 트럼프에겐 느슨하게 적용할 때.

  • <모순>이 되는 경우: “가정·성윤리”를 핵심 가치로 내세운 정치-종교 담론과 트럼프의 행태가 충돌하는데도, 충돌을 ‘대의’로 덮을 때.

하지만 당사자 입장에서는 보통 이렇게 합리화됩니다:
“내가 지지하는 건 그의 인격이 아니라, 더 큰 악을 막는 정책 패키지다.”

<한 줄로 정리하면>
트럼프 지지는 종종 ‘성윤리’가 아니라 ‘문화전쟁/사법부/정책 거래/집단 정체성’의 언어로 움직였습니다. 그래서 공개된 의혹을 알고도 지지하는 것이 심리적으로 가능해졌습니다.


<English>

Your question is often framed as <hypocrisy>, but it’s usually better explained as a mix of <priority trade-offs, information trust, and identity politics>.

1) Reordered priorities: “the bigger cause matters more”

Many conservative Christians treated Trump not as a moral exemplar but as an <instrument> to deliver outcomes: anti-abortion judicial appointments, religious-liberty protections, deregulation, immigration/“law and order,” and the broader culture war. In that logic, sexual-misconduct allegations become “serious but secondary.”

2) Moral compartmentalization: private sin vs public role

A common move was to separate <personal character> from <public utility>: “flawed people can still be used for a purpose.” This allows acknowledging vice while still supporting the political package.

3) Interpreting public information through trust

By 2018, it was widely known that many women had accused Trump

Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

and the “Access Hollywood” tape was famous

Trump--Is the President a Sex P…

.
But “knowing it exists” isn’t the same as “treating it as proven.” If someone distrusts mainstream media and believes politics is warfare, the same facts can be processed as exaggeration, partisan hit jobs, or “not legally proven.”

4) Group identity: “they’re attacking our side”

Support often became a form of <identity defense>. Scandals are then read less as the candidate’s moral failure and more as an assault on the in-group, which can actually intensify loyalty.

So is it hypocrisy or contradiction?

Sometimes, yes—especially when the same moral standards are applied selectively.
But the broader mechanism is: <a transactional, identity-driven coalition that prioritized outcomes over personal virtue>.

<트럼프: 대통령은 성추행범인가?> (Trump--Is the President a Sex Pest? BBC) 요약 및 평론
제시된 자료는 2018년 7월 9일 방영된 BBC <파노라마>(Panorama)의 다큐멘트리 전사본으로, 당시 미국 대통령이었던 도널드 트럼프를 향한 수십 명의 여성들의 성범죄 및 부적절한 행위 폭로를 다루고 있다.
+3

요약
1. 주요 고소 사건과 법적 공방


서머 저보스(Summer Zervos): <어프렌티스>(The Apprentice) 출연자였던 그녀는 2007년 호텔에서 트럼프가 자신을 강제로 누르고 가슴을 만지는 등 성추행했다고 주장했다. 트럼프가 이를 거짓말이라고 부인하자, 그녀는 명예훼손 혐의로 그를 고소했다. 이 사건은 현직 대통령이 선서 하에 심문을 받을 가능성을 제기했다.
+3


제시카 리즈(Jessica Leeds): 1970년대 후반 비행기 안에서 트럼프가 자신의 치마 속으로 손을 넣는 등 기습적인 성추행을 가했다고 폭로했다. 트럼프는 그녀가 자신의 <첫 번째 선택>(first choice)이 아니었을 것이라며 외모를 비하하는 방식으로 혐의를 부인했다.
+1


레이첼 크룩스(Rachel Crooks)와 멀린다 맥길리브레이(Melinda MacGillivray): 각각 2006년 트럼프 타워 엘리베이터 앞에서의 강제 입맞춤과 2003년 마라라고 리조트에서의 성추행을 증언하며, 트럼프의 행위가 위압적이고 반복적이었다고 주장했다.
+1

2. 미인 대회와 모델 파티의 어두운 이면


미인 대회: 트럼프는 미스 틴 USA(Miss Teen USA) 등 자신이 소유한 대회의 탈의실에 무단으로 침입하여 15세 정도의 어린 참가자들이 옷을 갈아입는 모습을 지켜보았다는 비판을 받았다. 그는 라디오 인터뷰에서 주인으로서 <검사>(inspecting)하는 것이기에 문제가 없다는 식으로 이를 정당화했다.
+4


모델 파티: 1980~90년대 뉴욕과 마이애미에서 열린 모델 파티에서 트럼프는 포식자처럼 행동했다는 목격담이 잇따랐다. 특히 17세였던 바바라 필링(Barbara Pilling)에게 나이가 적당하다며 관심을 보이거나, 수십 명의 어린 모델들 사이에서 성적인 위압감을 조성했다는 증언이 기록되었다.
+4

3. 트럼프의 대응과 은폐 시도

트럼프는 모든 혐의를 전면 부인하며 고소인들을 <거짓말쟁이>라고 비난하거나 정치적 음모라고 주장했다.
+2

또한, 성인 영화 배우 스토미 대니얼스(Stormy Daniels)에게 입막음 비용으로 13만 달러를 지급하거나, 변호사 마이클 코언을 통해 언론인을 협박하는 등 금력과 권력을 동원해 사건을 무마하려 했다.

평론
권력과 성적 대상화의 결합이 낳은 비극
본 다큐멘터리는 도널드 트럼프라는 인물이 지난 40년간 여성을 대하는 방식이 일관된 패턴을 보였음을 적나라하게 드러낸다. 그는 자신의 경제적 부와 <어프렌티스>를 통해 얻은 대중적 명성, 그리고 미인 대회 소유주라는 지위를 이용하여 여성을 인격체가 아닌 <소비재>(consumables)로 취급했다. 특히 미성년자가 포함된 미인 대회 탈의실 침입 사건은 그가 가진 <소유주 의식>이 타인의 기본권과 수치심을 얼마나 쉽게 압도했는지를 보여주는 상징적인 대목이다.
+4

피해자들의 연대와 '미투(Me Too)'의 확장
증언에 나선 여성들은 트럼프의 부인과 비난에도 불구하고 진실을 밝히는 것이 최종적으로 승리할 것이라는 믿음을 공유한다. 이들의 용기는 단순히 개인의 명예 회복을 넘어, 국가의 수장에게도 일반인과 동일한 윤리적·법적 잣대를 적용해야 한다는 사회적 요구로 이어진다. 하비 와인스타인과 트럼프를 비교하는 대목은 당시 확산되던 미투 운동의 맥락 안에서 권력형 성범죄에 대한 대중의 분노가 정치 권력의 정점을 향하고 있었음을 시사한다.
+4

결론: 지도자의 자격에 대한 근본적 질문
이 자료는 트럼프가 대통령으로서 적합한 인물인가에 대해 강력한 의구심을 던진다. 사생활의 영역으로 치부하기에는 그 피해의 규모와 방식이 매우 조직적이고 폭력적이기 때문이다. 법정에서 진실이 가려지기 전이라 할지라도, 반복되는 증언들과 본인의 과거 발언(녹취록 등)은 그가 구축한 제국이 여성의 희생과 침묵 위에 세워졌을 가능성을 강하게 뒷받침한다.

세진님, 요청하신 다큐멘터리 내용에 대해 <해라> 체를 사용하여 요약과 평론을 작성해 보았습니다. 추가로 궁금한 점이나 분석이 필요한 부분이 있다면 말씀해 주세요.

2018년 당시에 들어난 이런 정보는 누구에게나 공개된 것이었는데 많은 미국의 보수 기독교인들이 이런 것을 알고도 (?) 트럼프를 지지한 것은 어떻게 이해해야 할까요? 위선? 또는 모순?
==

세진님, 2018년 당시 영국 BBC를 통해 방영된 이런 충격적인 사실들은 세진님께서 말씀하신 대로 대중에게 널리 알려진 상태였습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 미국의 보수 기독교인(복음주의자)들이 트럼프를 강력히 지지한 현상은 단순히 <위선>이나 <모순>이라는 단어만으로 설명하기 어려운, 복잡한 정치·신학적 배경이 깔려 있습니다.

학계와 평론가들이 분석하는 주요 원인은 다음과 같습니다.

1. 세속적 전사로서의 <바바리안> (The Barbarian)

보수 기독교인들은 트럼프를 <우리 중 한 명>으로 보지 않았습니다. 대신 그들은 세속화되어가는 미국 사회에서 기독교적 가치를 수호해 줄 강력한 <전사>가 필요하다고 느꼈습니다.

  • 보호자 모델: 기독교인들은 자신들이 <문화적 추방자>가 되었다고 느끼며 두려움을 가졌고, 이를 막아줄 <강한 지도자>를 원했습니다.

  • 바바리안 논리: "야만인들이 성문 앞에 와 있을 때는 그들을 막아낼 또 다른 야만인이 필요하다"는 논리로 트럼프의 도덕적 결함을 정당화했습니다.

2. <그릇 신학> (Vessel Theology): 현대의 고레스 왕

성경 속 인물을 비유로 들어 그의 부도덕함을 도덕적 승리로 승화시키는 논리입니다.

  • 고레스 왕(Cyrus the Great): 이방인의 왕이었지만 신에 의해 선택받아 유대인을 해방시킨 고레스 왕처럼, 트럼프가 비록 불신자나 죄인일지라도 신의 목적(보수 대법관 임명, 낙태 반대 등)을 이루기 위한 <도구(그릇)>로 쓰임받고 있다고 믿었습니다.

  • 다윗 왕: 간통과 살인을 저질렀으나 신에게 쓰임받은 다윗 왕에 트럼프를 비유하며, <인간의 흠결>보다 <신의 섭리>에 집중했습니다.

3. 철저한 실용주의와 목적론적 윤리

그들에게 트럼프 지지는 도덕적 승인이 아니라 <거래>에 가까웠습니다.

  • 정책 최우선: 개인의 품격보다는 낙태 반대 판사 임명, 종교의 자유 보호, 이스라엘 지지 등 자신들의 핵심 의제를 실현해 줄 실행력을 중시했습니다.

  • 상대적 악(Lesser of two evils): 민주당(특히 힐리리 클린턴)의 정책이 기독교적 가치에 더 치명적이라고 판단했기에, 트럼프의 개인적 스캔들은 <사소한 문제>로 치부되었습니다.

4. 도덕적 기준의 유연화 (상황에 따른 위선)

실제로 통계에 따르면, 보수 기독교인들의 도덕적 기준은 트럼프 등장 이후 급격히 변화했습니다.

  • 설문 조사 결과: 2011년에는 백인 복음주의자의 30%만이 "사생활에서 부도덕한 정치인이 공직 수행을 잘할 수 있다"고 답했으나, 2016년 트럼프 당선 직전에는 그 비율이 72%로 치솟았습니다. 이는 지지하는 후보에 맞춰 자신들의 도덕적 원칙을 수정했음을 보여주는 대목입니다.


결론적으로, 세진님께서 언급하신 리처드 니부어(H. Richard Niebuhr)의 관점에서 본다면, 이들은 <문화 위의 그리스도>(Christ Above Culture)를 추구하며 세상을 기독교적으로 변혁시키기 위해, 역설적으로 가장 <세속적인 수단(트럼프)>을 선택한 셈입니다.

세진님께서는 이들의 이러한 태도가 기독교의 본질적인 <사랑과 용서>의 가치와 부합한다고 보시는지, 아니면 권력을 위해 신념을 판 행위라고 보시는지 궁금합니다. 혹시 이 현상을 설명하는 다른 사회학적 관점에 대해서도 더 알고 싶으신가요?
