In Which Donald Trump Brags About Sexually Assaulting Women
Here’s GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump recorded without his knowledge in 2005, boasting about sexually assaulting numerous women while he was married to Melania Trump.
What can I even say about this? Matthew Dowd sums it up quite well.
I have six brothers, and three sons. This isn’t boys will be boys stuff. This is him celebrating his ability to sexually assault someone.

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 of “Access Hollywood” on a bus with Access Hollywood written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s upcoming cameo on the soap opera.
The tape obtained by the Post includes audio of Bush and Trump’s conversation inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin shooting the segment.
In that audio, Trump discusses a failed attempt to seduce a woman, whose full name is not given in the video.
“I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump is heard saying. It was unclear when the events he was describing took place. The tape was recorded several months after he married his third wife, Melania.
“Whoa,” another voice said.
“I did try and f—- her. She was married,” Trump says.
