"If something is consensual, all parties are in agreement that they approve of it. You and your neighbor could have a consensual agreement to share the cost of putting up a fence between your houses."

If you are trying to prove that you have a better understanding of the English language than Trump, you'll get no argument from me.
I have always thought that "consensual" is not really the right choice for the word. It would make far more sense if the word was "consentual". Given the definition of the word "sensual", it's easy to see how Trump may misunderstand.

Yes but Donald said "consensual PRESIDENCY".... there is no such thing, the word consensual is not applicable for this usage.
