Trump says ‘grab women by the pussy’ in 2005 tape

This is just the latest in Trump’s awful record on women

A decade ago, before Donald Trump’s entrance into politics, he was taped by Access Hollywood saying he could “grab [women] by the pussy.”

Now the tapes have leaked to the Washington Post – and you can hear Trump’s crude comments toward women:

“And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

“Whatever you want,” says another voice, apparently TV host Billy Bush’s.

“Grab them by the pussy,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

He describes making a move on an unnamed woman in a furniture store: “I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump says.

“I did try and fuck her. She was married. And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’

“I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”

Donald Trump was already married to his current wife, Melania, when he was caught on tape.

This is just the latest instance of Trump’s terrible record with women. Over the course of his campaign, he has called women “fat pigs”, “dogs”, and “slobs.”

Just last week, Trump came under fire for a 90s scandal when he held a press conference for Alicia Machado, Miss Universe 1996, to lose weight, and for calling her “Miss Housekeeping” and “Miss Piggy.”

On the leaked footage, Trump told the Washington Post: “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
