...You know...

...I'm starting to think this woman isn't lying, she's delusional...

Let me paint a possible scenario for you;

E Jean Carroll watches the Apprentice, becomes obsessed with trump, and creates a fantasy in her head of an imaginary experience with trump, one where she has an encounter with him that just happens to resemble an episode of Law & Order SVU she happened to once watch. Over time, her unstable mind convinces her it was real.

At some point, she attempts to get trump's attention in real life, and finds herself unable to do so. the fantasy, already based upon a fictionalized case of assault, transfigures into something darker and more twisted. She mentions it in passing to someone with TDS and the whole thing snowballs from there

sidenote: Carroll is allegedly the niece of Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice in Wonderland, a story he wrote to entertain Alice Liddell, the daughter of friends of his whom he spent a great deal of time with. Supposedly, the Liddell family at some point stopped allowing Carroll around Alice, after they caught him taking nude photos of Alice, who was only a child at the time. This is all raw speculation, but is it possible E. Jean Carroll was abused at some point by her infamous uncle?
