    Trump’s lawyer told Ivanka that marital rape wasn’t a crime when they were going through their divorce in the 90’s. It was by that point, but she didn’t know.

    It’s a pretty fucked up incident - he was in pain from a hair transplant, ripped out her hair (giving her bald spots) and raped her. She recanted the rape claim, 100% because Trump’s lawyers threatened her into silence and lied to her.

    So yeah, in light of Trump also suggesting that it was unfair to include domestic violence in crime statistics, I doubt this administration really considers marital rape a crime. I would not be surprised if at the state level there was an increased reluctance to prosecute marital rape and domestic violence in hell hole red states.
