Welcome to 2016, the year when the guy who casually talks about grabbing women by their vaginas is the Republican nominee for the White House.
The conversation below actually took place in 2005, when Donald Trump was a mere 59 years old and engaging in some ‘locker room banter’, as he has repeatedly called it.
In the video you can hear him brag about kissing, groping and trying to bed women, which really is enough to make one want to throw up in the mouth.
Watch the video in its entirety, just so you’re sure it wasn’t a sneaky editing trick, but the Washington Post with the bit that’s really sticking out:
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says. “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
“Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently Bush’s.
“Grab them by the p—y,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
You don’t even wait for their consent, you just go on in and grab what you like? Sounds awfully like sexual assault to me.
Yeah, go on and see for yourself:
As you can imagine the world went nuts, forcing the Donald into very unfamiliar territory – the apology:
What, you honestly thought he would issue an apology without being mean about Hillary and Bill?
Melania Trump was forced to issue her own statement, which she duly did:
“The words my husband used are unacceptable and offensive to me…This does not represent the man that I know. He has the heart and mind of a leader. I hope people will accept his apology, as I have, and focus on the important issues facing our nation and the world. ”
Spoken like someone who has heard Trump belittle, demean and objectify women for the best part of 10 years.
Oh, it’s worth noting that at the time Donald made those comments he was just months into his marriage to Melania.
Come now America, stop the nonsense and get serious, this charade has gone on just about long enough.
