When this story broke, I got the impression that Carroll was a bit of a sexual adventuress. If anything like her story happened, it was that she approached a guy who was dressed like Donald Trump and asked him “would you like to come into a dressing room with me and “rape” me?
Her story relies on so many improbable events that it is either her fantasy, or like one of those stories from Penthouse Letters, probably just fiction.
As she said in the interview, the entire floor of a busy New York City department store famous for its attentive sales people was just empty. No employees, no customers, no security guards, no janitors, just empty.
And the door to the dressing room was unlocked -- and therefore left open since the type of lock used for that kind of interior door locks automatically when the door closes.
And she wanted to see Trump try on the filmy, see through bodysuit she found already boxed up on the counter. But how would woman's bodysuit fit on a man the size of Trump? It wouldn't, and it is highly unlikely Bergdorf Goodman would even stock a see through woman's bodysuit in a size suitable for a large man.
And supposedly Trump wanted her to try on lingerie that would be a gift to another woman. But that makes no sense at all. No guy would give lingerie to one woman that had been worn by another. Think about how awkward it would be to explain the smell of another woman on your gift.
Any adult woman would immediately recognize the invitation to try on lingerie was a different kind of invitation with a different purpose. Particularly any woman in New York who, for example, had heard the Howard Stern show.
