In August 2016, Trump and one of his campaign staffer, Alva Johnson, were in a RV in Florida where the president allegedly kissed her without her consent. This has sparked controversey throughout not only the nation, but the Trump campaign itself. "Ms. Johnson suddenly realized that Defendant Trump was trying to kiss her on the mouth, and attempted to avoid this by turning her head to the right. Defendant Trump kissed her anyway, and the kiss landed on the corner of her mouth." Johnson's lawyer had recapped the scene of what happened that day. After the event occured, Johnson called her partner and her parents to tell them what had happened. Johnson states that there was witnesses there but the Attorney General stated that he was in the RV with them at the time and nothing had happened.
If this event is to be confirmed, what consequences should the president face?
I think that the president should most definitely have the possibility of being impeached, otherwise he should compensate the Johnson for what he had did to her.
If the allegations hold true and this all happened, if you happened to be in the same situation as Johnson, what would you do?
I would most likely act in the same we she did. First call my loved ones and tell them what happened, the present the allegations at court with facts to back the allegations up.

Well done Elijah!
Impeachment is definitely an option, but I'm not sure what I think would be an appropriate punishment for the president. If this is confirmed, he should apologize, but being impeached should be kept in mind. I would tell people about it if it happened to me, and I'd make sure that whoever it was would be punished.
Facts and logic. We need those two more than ever to own our actions.
I think the president will face possible impeachment and/or compensation but that's only if it's confirmed he did attempt to kiss her. Really though, I think this boils down to politics. I'm assuming his staffer was a Republican but on the off chance that she wasn't it could've possibly been a setup on her part to get criminal charges on Trump.
Quit my job. Personally, the president is in a high seat in the government, and as such he's not somebody I'd like to try in court. I'd spread news of it but just leave the job because it's not worth risking a career or credential list over.
I think the president should just be impeached and have a court date. I would probably act like she did because I didn't give him consent.
There are so many stories about Trump having affairs, and in my opinion those are all way worse than that he should have kissed a women without her permission. I would most likely do the same.
True, but he still kissed this woman without her consent which is a crime. I think that he is a terrible image for the country right now, but I think he can get better for sure. I believe that Trump is a ok president and a very successful business man, but he is accused of too much stuff. A lot of it is most likely fake, their allegations made by people who completely despise Trump. Yet, some of them may be true.
Remember that this is alleged, and that you can't just tell somebody that he did it for sure. Also, I agree it is a terrible image for the country but think of the other candidates we were faced with in the final stages of the election: Clinton, Sanders, and Trump. I'm not trying to argue against or for either of the candidates but each had their own criminal affairs in turn. I agree with you also in that he is accused falsely accused of a lot of things.
I agree with impeachment, or Compensation. That is not something a future president would do. I would try to defend myslef in a way, and then call my loved ones and take the person to court with facts to back up my statement.
Agreed. I just think that it is absurd that our president has had these affairs with women and has also had a load of allegations held on him. I think it is terrible for anyone to kiss someone without their consent, but now hearing that our president has possibly done this is despair.
I think that he should have some type of punishment because he is the leader of the country and is doing the wrong thing. I think that he should possibly be impeached or he should at least apologize. I think that I would first call my loved ones and would explain to them what had happened, but I would also ask what I should do.
