Original Note:
By the legal definitions of words, the jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, not for a rape. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/05/09/nyregion/trump-carroll-rape-trial-verdict https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/09/nyregion/trump-liable-verdict-form-jury.html Although, in the informal settings (like this tweet) the word rape can be used in more broad sense, that includes sexual abuse. https://www.britannica.com/topic/rape-crime https://www.wordnik.com/words/rape https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-e-jean-carroll-rape-charge-republican-reactions-rcna95585
