I don’t have the money or the fame to walk up to a woman and “grab her” privates without getting arrested. And no... I have said some things in my day but I can quite literally and honestly say, I have never said things like that about a married woman nor single. Never. I understand Trump is of a different upbringing. One of fame and wealth. Maybe he can say that and get away with it. I can not and never could.
I am not so easily dismissive of his character as some are today. Just like I was not dismissive of Billy Clinton.
I didn’t get that Trump actually did that, just that he engaged in salty talk about it.
When I was much younger, and on the road as a sales rep for my company, I has similar stuff said by purchasing agents to my face, in front of a roomful of men. I just ignored it, seeing it as insecure men showing off to each other.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if we had tapes of some hidden microphone tapes of JFK, Teddy, Lyndon Johnson, and dear old billy jeff?
Guys have talked about the attributes of women, their various parts and curves since time began - My husband was a true gentleman, and would never have engaged in such cheap banter, but there aren’t many like him out there.
You must have missed the part where he said the women “let” him do that stuff, which implies consent. Yes, if you go up to some woman randomly on the street and grab at them, you will get arrested. But, if you are flirting and they are star struck and give signals that they are sexually interested in you, well, that may be a very different scenario, especially if you signal beforehand where your hands are headed.
Trump would already be in trouble over this along ago if he were really “walking up to” women and randomly grabbing at their groins against their will. That’s even if all this wasn’t just about trying to impress laughing Billy Bush, who was admiring tales of his exploits.
