I hope they do, and then Arlington goes after them for it.

They already have the incident report. I don't think anyone gets prosecuted for that sort of crime, though. It's more of a "show some respect and basic human decency" thing to which Trump is immune.

They could pursue legal action. America does have civil courts for such things.

Yeah but this is Trump. He's going to delay, delay, delay, delay until whomever is suing him runs out of money.

Or he'll settle and never pay.

The only way we're going to see Trump face any consequences is when our judiciary grows a fucking pair.
