Washington Post: Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005
Donald Trump bragged in vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women during a 2005 conversation caught on a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it,” according to a video obtained by The Washington Post.
The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,” on a bus with the show’s name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.
Late Friday night, following sharp criticism by Republican leaders, Trump issued a short video statement saying, “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.” But he also called the revelation “a distraction from the issues we are facing today.” He said that his “foolish” words are much different than the words and actions of Bill Clinton, whom he accused of abusing women, and Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of having “bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.”

WNU Editor: I suspect that there are a lot more Trump comments/remarks that are even worse than what was disclosed today .... and we will probably be getting to hear them in the coming days and weeks. But as to the bigger question .... will this have an impact on how the voters vote .... I am not sure on the answer. I remember when Bill Clinton was going through his Lewinsky scandal that I said to myself he was finished .... but I was wrong and he was definitely not impacted by it politically. As for this year's election cycle .... quoting what I heard a pundit say tonight .... ‘Everybody Knows’ Hillary Has a Private and Public Position On Everything, and That Trump Is Crude .... I cannot help but feel that this pundit is probably correct. Sighhhh .... I have been watching U.S. Presidential elections since Carter-Reagan in 1980 ..... and I have never seen anything like this. It is truly a sad commentary on the state of the U.S. political system that even the Chinese are now mocking the Americans ... Chinese papers mock U.S. election, say scandals bury real issues (Reuters). At least the British tabloids are enjoying themselves .... EXCLUSIVE: Two decades after her affair with Bill Clinton, Gennifer Flowers reveals they'd be together now if it wasn't for Chelsea and how former president confided in her that Hillary was bisexual (Daily Mail).

I have heard stuff like this from every guy I know, the desire to have sex is an all consuming desire. I have made this statement to both men and women, "that a man has thought about having sex with with every woman they have ever met, young old every woman", the vast majority of women were shocked and didn't believe it and the vast majority of men would just nod in agreement. I don't know what effect this will have on Trumps campaign, in the so called Politically Correct world in which we live, but men are hard wired to have sex with as many women as they can and women are hard wired to find a mate that has the resources to provide them and their children, thats why scum like Kennedy, LBJ,Bill Clinton, Edward the VII, every rock star, Jim Baker, Trump can bang them 2 at a time. Having said that I could never understand why Prince Charles who because of his position could have any woman he wanted, end up with the thing he did.As an act of disclosure I'm a pig, I don't want to be but when the opportunity happens it happens, reading what Trump said I knew where he was coming from, but I suspect the PC crowd will have a field day, should be good for a laugh.
Boy the media love the double standard Mr. Donald Trump say some lustful thing and the world goes upside down Hillary she robbed and steal and cheat and nobody complains double standard and fake media
If they kicked out the graduating class of the college I went to freshman year for stuff like this.
They would have graduated .3% of the class.
Trump's problem is that Melania did not lead a BIMBO Eruption squad.
Tsk, Tsk.
Meanwhile back in Hollywood if you want to be famous, you have to spread them or get on your knees all too often.
Mr. Trump is crude. This has long since been known. Unfortunately guys talk like this all the time. It shouldn't haplen but it does. We need a change in culture.
If such talk was a disqualifer for any given leadership role, less tgan 1% of men would be qualified. While this alone does not alter my prediction of a Trump presidency, I susoect there are more comments such as this about to be released.
I am a senior who plays cards with seniors, males and females. I love jokes especially those with sexual connotations. At cards I tell a joke that disparages women and the men laugh and often the women laugh but not so heartily. At the next table I tell the same joke but change it so the joke disparages men. The woman laugh, usually harder than the men.
Very seldom do I find someone, usually a woman, who ignores the joke entirely. Sometimes it comes from a distaste for such jokes, sometimes from a distaste of a former put down husband.
This was all besos owned wash post could come up from their crack team of trump haters. Geez. It will blow back against hrc again just like the gop losers.
And a bush family member was involved. Something is rotten in denmark.
LMAO, Best US Election Ever!
And it's heartwarming to see all the Deplorables taking to the Net, to defend the undefensible.
Somebody should call Child Services on Trump, he kisses his daughters with that mouth.
Unfortunately Hilllary has gotten the basket of deplorable wrong like most things throughout her career. It lies inside the Washington beltway and extends out to those who aspire to it. Any parent that has a child who wants to grow up to be President should seek the help of mental health professionals....or maybe an exorcist.
Nope, she pegged them perfectly.
They won't even stand up to defend their wives, mother's, daughters, sisters, girlfriends, girls who are friends but not girlfriends,
From a rich/famous mysoginist sexual predator,
Online, where it's just words.
Ultimate, whiny pussies in the real world.
99.999999999999999% of American guys talk like this among themselves and the same percentage of American women understand this happens. It shouldn't happen but it does. What we need is a cultural change. Of course pretty much all Americans know they can NEVER hope to measure up to their Canadian superiors. Such is s pipe dream Americans aspire to but do not believe is achievable. If Canada would actively support a given candidate, Americans would fall behind that candidate as Americans and their leaders live and breathe all their lives to find approval in the eyes of their Canadian superiors.
Hiliary badly misjudged if she thinks this is going to help her. She will not be POTUS. Even if she manages to be elected which is unlikely she won't last six months. Either she goes to jail or her health issues do her in.
There could be other "revelations" beyond the scope of Mr. Trump's apologly that could alter the race or Mr. Trump might perform extrodinarily badly in the debate Sunday and this might change the dynamic of the race.
If 99.9999999 percent of American Guy's tlak like this amongst them selves,
Give me your mother's phone number, I think she would like to actually talk to someone who values her as a person, not just a lump of meat.
BTY, in Canada, women come first, second,third, fourth, and then, If it's been a long day, the man comes once.
So, what's your Mamma's phone number?
I can only speak for myself .... but I do not think nor have I ever spoken about women in the manner that Donald Trump did on that hot mic over 20 years ago .... ever. I have been blessed with a great mom .... and fantastic girlfriends and friends who are girls/women throughout my life .... and many of them I still know today.
But .... truth be told .... many men cannot say the same thing .... and have said (repeatedly) what Donald Trump said on that mic. Again .... and I am saying this only from my own personal experience .... a lot of men do think like this .... and I would put that number at around 80% (if not more). That is why I was so wrong about President Clinton .... I thought that most voters would think like me .... instead .... while support decreased when his sex scandals first surfaced and then exploded .... when election time came his supporters returned, and his sex scandals did not impact him at all .... in fact it may have helped him.
Flash forward to today .... if Bill Clinton's Monica Lewinsky scandal is the template that we look at .... Donald trump's support may actually increase on election day. Most voters see sex as a personal issue .... and not the business of the media nor the opposing political party. But then again .... this is a very weird election cycle .... and while I predict that this will become a non-issue when voters go to the polls on election day, we do not know what else is lurking out there.
Donald Trump talked about wanting someone. I have heard that talk often.
According to current DoD training Democrat John F Kennedy was a rapist.

"BTY, in Canada, women come first, second,third, fourth, and then, If it's been a long day, the man comes once."
Glad the JJ Farq has finally woken up.
It is a women's world
Take for example the Nibelungenlied.
One would think it is about might deeds, heroes, specifically a hero called Siegfried ( he is not as strong as the Russian Hero who rode off with the gates of Kiev on his spear tip during the Mongol sack). One might think it is about heroic battles.
No, it is not. That is a patina.
It is actually a cat fight between Kriemhild & Brünhild.
Hint for those Farqed in the head. All the men, the pawns, die like in the real world.
WNU,
I think the 99++% I listed is probably an overstatement. Your number 80% is probably more accurate. While we can only speak for ourselves, I do not think of women in this way either. I do not condone such behavior and endeavor not to associate with people who do.
Team Clinton either now or during the first Clinton Administration, never made an issue of someone else's sex life. If he had admitted what he did and apologized, he would not have been impeached by the House but this would have resulted in embarrassment for his wife and daughter. So the argument went and still goes that he was/is trying to protect them.
As for Mrs. Clinton, it could be argued she was trying to protect her family and keep it together while trying to avoid the embarrassment to her husband of this or her daughter. Also, accusing a prominent person of such things can result in fame, accolades, and even fortune for the accuser. As such, trying to sort out fact from fiction among the accusers can be a daunting challenge.
Also, when initially confronted with this, Mrs. Clinton may not have wanted to admit to herself what was happening. Often times when confronted with unpleasant news humans try to deny it and attack the messenger. Hence the accusers were attacked. Again, the argument was and is was trying to protect her family, keep her family together, and protect the integrity of her husband. This was investigated back in the 1990s, the public largely agreed with the analysis, forgave the Clintons, understood why they did what they did with regards to the lies on this while not necessarily condoning the lies about it, and moved on.
Furthermore there do not seem to be an tapes of Mr. Clinton's activities as there are of Mr. Trump. Additionally someone on team Trump perhaps the candidate himself foolishly chose to make the sex life of someone else an issue.
Had he simply stuck with the issues. 1.)Renegotiate ridiculous trade agreements, 2.)secure the borders, 3.)explore the possibility of renegotiating NATO and other "alliances" we have that don't make sense for us in the current environment. and 4.)repealing onerous rules and regulations that are hamstringing our economic growth and job creation these would have been 100% winning issues and he would have a comfortable lead right now so much so to the point that he would not even need to worry about campaigning right now but could be working on getting his team together to try and bring these policy prescriptions to fruition.
All team Clinton has is sliming the opponent. She and her team have nothing else and unfortunately for Mr. Trump and his team they walked right into it.
At this point, the only hope of recovery is probably 1.)Mr. Trump's lead prior to this situation was likely bigger than the media is letting on. Perhaps he has enough cushion to weather this for awhile. 2.)He will need to do extremely well in the debate tonight whereas Mrs. Clinton does not have to. 3.)Hope there is nothing else "lurking out there." (There probably is and, while the prediction of a Trump presidency is unchanged, in light of new information, I am very close to changing the prediction.)
