He's a shrewd one, he knows that by joining team MAGA he'll have a lot 
of Americans who believe there's a global conspiracy of fabulously 
wealthy elite Satan-worshiping sexual predators:

Get together to help defend the wealthiest alleged sexual predator in 
the world. It makes perfect sense!

Asking for sex makes you a predator? And I do mean you.

Touching someone sexually or exposing yourself to them without their 
permission could (it's claimed he did this), asking for sex in exchange 
for a horse just makes you a john, which is illegal in most 
jurisdictions in the US, what jurisdiction transatlantic private flights 
fall under on that I'm not sure offhand.

Can't say I've ever asked anyone I didn't know very well "for sex" in 
that kind of matter-of-fact manner, I like to get to know a person, 
y'know? And then things just sort of happen naturally. This 
instructional video for men is still as relevant today as in 1950 I think:
