Trump on Hot Mic: 'When You're a Star ... You Can Do Anything' to Women

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by William769 (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: NBC News

A decade before Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president, his candid views on women were caught on tape.

"I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it's like a magnet," Trump said in 2005 during a conversation with Billy Bush caught on audio during the taping of an interview for Access Hollywood. "I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab 'em by the pussy."

...

"I moved on her actually, she was down in Palm Beach and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try to fuck her, she was married … and I moved on her very heavily," Trump is heard saying.

"I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture and I told her 'I'll show you where you can get some nice furniture,'" Trump is heard saying. "I moved on her like a bitch, and I could not get there, and she was married. And all the sudden I see her and she's got the big phony tits, she's totally changed her look."

Nobody respects women more than Donald Trump, according to Donald Trump.

said much worse to me on the golf course."

I guess since he didn't deny it, he still believes that. Way to go Con Man. I'm sure that'll boost your ratings with women!

Tries to minimize his offense by blaming others, then qualifies his "apology" upon the listener having the nerve to be offended.

Classic amoral creep.

statements?
They will say something like .."that is just more proof that he is one of us or he's a down to earth guy"
Would that be pretty close

One deplorable to another

"I moved on her like a bitch" "I don't even ask, when you're famous you can do anything, just grab 'em by the pussy."

Just in time for early voting in Florida, Ohio, and other places.

They were married in Jan 2005. This was also from 2005.

What it is is an admission that he said it, and a method of defending himself for saying it, revealing he thinks it is an O.K. thing to say.

Where were the NBC execs during all this, were they paying women to keep quiet, and covering his attacks like they did with Cosby?
