Just saw the entire Trump / Billy Bush tape on CNN and it was an eye opener versus reading the transcript.
I admit I was worried about the impact of the transcript, and still am. But ... after watching and listening, it is 100% obvious Trump was goofing and giggling around, being silly, light-hearted and playful, and Billy Bush was giggling uncontrollably because Trump was being totally silly to entertain him.
Even the story about pursuing some married woman was pretty lightly related, but that part did sound like it's based on a real life Donald attempted and failed flirtation.
The rest of it was NOT any kind of serious statement about being able to "grope" women. He is joking about taking a tic tac in case he uncontrollably starts kissing beautiful women. That's when the laughing starts. Then it's a bunch of sophomoric playing about how "stars" can do anything they want and women allow it, including grabbing their *****. His audience is agreeing and giggling along throughout because they are being silly together.
This horseplay continues with Trump joking about how he best not fall out of the bus like the time Gerald Ford fell over.
You can criticize him for playing around and joking in a crass way, but it was all silly boys' talk. This was not even remotely a serious comment about kissing women without permission or anything like it. The whole thing was a joke and I defy anyone listening to it to say otherwise.
Yes it does matter, most of us with a sense of humor have entertained men and women alike by being completely and outrageously silly, and that's what this was.
Exactly. Next thing the MSM will report is that the scenes of “high born” characters’ misogynistic behavior in the TV series Game of Thrones was based on Trump...
/s /s /s /s
Trump will be fine.
Now we understand why WikiLeaks will be parsing out information every week. It is a planned strategy to counter anything the Democrats/MSM have stockpiled.
Go Trump!
“Of course it was joking around. Any and all testosterone driven men have done the same exact stuff and worse when they’re alone with their like minded friends and we all know that.”
Not around these parts. Just sayin...
Trump can now, with impunity have his team bring forth every single women that Slick Willie ever groped, raped, stuck a cigar into and then gave said cigar to Arafat. Then there are the murders/deaths, from Ark. forward and Hillary being asleep at the wheel re Benghazi; etc. !
I fear you are correct.
The video itself when watched is not the real trouble. This is a coordinated take down, and the ladies are already lined up for their 15 minutes of fame.
you are correct.. it’s a shame but it’s our reality
I agree.
you have to get enough people to care about those things that don’t now care.. good luck with that
Yes, it was pure silliness. You may note that when Trump actually met the actress, he was a gentleman.
As a woman, I’m not remotely offended by their juvenile carrying on. Men blow off steam in strange ways. We all have moments of goofiness.
It’s no secret that Trump has some rough edges. I wonder what kind of dialogue goes on when JayZ and BO get together.
CNN blew off any coverage of a real story—the hurricane, to cover Trump’s boyish antics. Ryan and Chaffetz immediately jumped ship. Massive overreaction. The media is delerious. Now they don’t have to cover Wikileaks’s doc drop.
Cue Gloria Allred.
We know what Bill Clinton did do in the WH.
Wikileaks is a joke,, Trump describing himself sexually assaulting women who aren’t interested in him isn’t going away anytime soon you can bet the house on it
What I don’t understand is that the Howard Stern interview has been out for months, and that was even worse than this video. So where was the indignation then?
Consider the name of the guy encouraging him to say things into a microphone.
Those same "Americans" the voted for Obama twice?
Trumps avid supporters shan't leave him over this tripe, this only makes Trump sound more like a "real" person and so the blacks won't leave him and many MORE just might come aboard, and those who claimed to be for Trump, but keep looking for ANY excuse to NOT vote for him, he was going to lose anyway.
Unlike Bill, Trump did NOT “assault” any women.
Oh, the Bush family knows all too well the value of such material. Remember a guy named Noriega? Want to know where the first two bombs fell in Panama?
That would have perfect, if Donald had said at that time he was a Democrat.
Even Reagan admitted to doing some bad things as a democrat.
