Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately
New York Times ^ | October 12, 2016 | MEGAN TWOHEY and MICHAEL BARBARO

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.

“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”

At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.

More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.

Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.

Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.

Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

I knew this was going to happen when Anderson asked Trump several times if he had actually done any of those thing. Anderson already knew they had women lined up.
it was all planned. Those women didn’t pop up out of nowhere.

-—So, for 30+ years she didn’t say a word but now, after 30 years she decides to say something? Give me a break!! Were there any witness? Did she complain to the airline? Call police? People who are traumatized by assault generally do those things

I am then fairly certain that he didn’t whip out a metric crescent wrench and remove the armrest. So, false story. Time to sue the NYT into oblivion and every news outlet that mentioned it.

That's not the worst.

The girl's underwear was sent to the Crime Lab, and came up with a match for BOTH the 12-year-old's blood, and the rapist's semen.

The crime lab had cut out a square or swatch (I didn't hear the word well enough to know which one) with the stains on it for analysis.

Hillary demanded the underwear of the court, for her own independent forensics test.

It came back from her lab, with the square of stained material MISSING and a statement there was no way to test what was left.

Hillary plea-bargained down given the lack of evidence.

The guy who helped rape a 12-year-old girl into a coma, got off with time served.

TWO MONTHS.

By the direct PERSONAL action of Hillary Clinton.

I don’t blame you for never getting near NJ! The armpit of the nation. I got stuck here taking care of my parents. I’m not too far from Philly and have always wanted to get to know it better. Maybe we can meet sometime after the new year?

And a shrill harpy who bullied her way into the Friar’s Club so that she could have lunch with Shecky Green. I doubt she’s been back since 1995.

“Even his wife wont defend him...so dont call me names for calling out his douchebag moves”

-—You seem very unhinged lol Melania actually said “ I accepted his apology and encourage everyone else to do the same” Why are you being such b*tch over this? If you don’t want to support Trump then don’t but stop belaboring the point. This is a 30 + year old story and this woman waited until now to say something. It’s obviously a staged story to pile on Trump to save Hillary. Not going to work as people are that stupid

And even if he didn’t, they’ve been paid enough to make the undecideds believe it.

Maybe all woman Trump supporters the right age should flood media claiming Trump made advances towards them, with outlandish stories, just to show how stupid this all is.
