Although I can understand some people might see two accusations as indicative of an issue in her and not the abusers, bear in mind her role as an author put her into situations of some emotional intensity with the subject.
Also, Hunter Thompson and Trump share attributes of disdain for authority, the rule of law, and a predisposition to fantasy and self aggrandisement. I read Carroll's biography and other writing about Hunter and they pretty much agree he was an egotistical narcissistic pig, who didn't give two shits what other people thought especially when on a bender.
He was booked to appear at the Edinburgh book festival, flight and accommodation paid with Ralph Steadman more than once over the decades and never left the USA. The organisers probably knew he was always going to be a no-show.
The difference between HST and Trump is literacy, not ethics or attitudes to women.
