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.
Trump continues: “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’”

We could exchange Bosh until the global economic collapse hits, but how would that help?
Our local media is all over this story on Facebook saying this could sink him.
Sorry ... reposting since the formatting got screwed up ... I used characters I shouldn’t have used :-) :
“It doesn’t “look bad”. What normal guy hasn’t has such a conversation? It is a plus in my book.”
While I’ve never been a billionaire with women falling all over me, I’ve certainly made several comments about things I’d love to do with (insert any swimsuit model, supermodel, hot actress) that make Trump’s comments pale in comparison :-). Moreover, I wasn’t fake about it ... every time I was told I was a “nice guy”, I’d also claim I was a pig :-).
Men talk like this ... for the most part :-)! Let the liberals go ballistic over this and uncork their champagne bottles! Let them ramble about how Trump is dead. Let the metrosexuals and freaky feminists nobody wants to touch in the first place have their field days.
Bottom line, when Hillary inevitably brings this up on Sunday ... Trump MUST limit his retort to no more than two sentences and not ramble on about it. Just say “Yep, I said that, and had a similar conversation with your husband once. Sorry if people find that offensive.”
If Hillary drones on about it, he needs to nod in agreement, and say “Again, if people find locker room talk offensive, I am guilty of locker room talk and apologize.”
She is expecting him to flip about this. Terse, simple replies will drive her crazy. While she goes crazy, bring up her failures and she should lose it :-).
Who cares? Its not even evidence Trump cheated on his wife.
And its nothing like what media darling Eliot Spitzer did to his wife.
Oh wait - he was a Democrat. But they’re not held to standards.
FWIW, Trump isn’t a choirboy and has never pretended to be one.
I really hope Trump doesn’t take the bait if the moderators or Hillary press him on this at the debate. He should respond by very briefly addressing the accusations (in whichever very concise way he and especially his advisors think best) and then rapidly switch to talking about his hiring the first woman to manage a skyscraper construction project in NYC, having more female executives than male, paying women execs more than men (in stark contrast to the Clinton Foundation), etc.
It’s going to be really hard for him, but he needs to make sure he doesn’t drop down into fighting over the details of each accusation against him like this. If she lies about his policy positions, then he does need to fight her on it with some details, but he needs to be on the offense and not permit stories like this to dominate the debate.
Trump said that he’s not going to talk about Billy Boy’s indiscretions, but if she or the moderators insist on turning Trump’s past with women into the “most important issue in the country,” then I think Trump may need to unload the big guns against the Clintons—so long as he makes explicitly clear what Hillary’s role was in attacking the women her husband assaulted. He’ll just make her look like a victim if he doesn’t handle it right, but it could show her up as a big hypocrite if he can keep his cool and serve his revenge cold. If she’s really pushing him on this sort of thing, that would also open up a legitimate opportunity for him to hit her on getting off a child rapist and laughing about it back when she was a lawyer.
HELLARY has the AUDACITY to tweet this is JUST HORRIBLE this man can NOT be president, YET when her husband was getting BJ’s from a 21 year old intern she was SCREAMING it was his PRIVATE life and TRASHING this young woman!!! This woman is the BIGGEST BITCH in history how dare her EVER bring this up about Trump she IS the biggest hypocrite LYING hypocrite EVER!!!
“Our local media is all over this story on Facebook saying this could sink him.”
What local media?
Would not doubt it.
Trial balloon.
In the absence of some sign of perversion, one would almost say this means the guy is normal, in a worldly sense.
Donald isn’t running for St. Francis here (and even if he was, St. Francis repented of his earlier sins anyhow).
I hate these hypocrites far more than anything I would think about Donald Trump here. Donald has very notably absented himself from such locker room banter for what, decades?
Let him who never sinned in his life cast the first stone.
I’ll probably get banned...I tweeted...”Hillary Clinton is a Rapist and Pedophile enabler”
Since the audio doesn’t include video until they come out of the bus, I don’t know about an edit. CNN talking heads were exploding.
Bill just bites lips and overpowers. He’s always been BIG
& stout. Until now. Now, he has one foot in the grave and
the other on a banana peeling. I guess the STD’s have finally caught up with him. He slept through Cankles’
acceptance speech and some guy stood guard for him. I
think it was Kaine.
Okay. You found me out. I’m a troll. I signed up in 2000 for this very campaign. Now you’ve gone and blown my carefully crafted cover. You’ve left me no choice but to report back to my Democratic overlords and let them know that I just couldn’t get past you to brainwash Freepers into voting for Hilliary. Sixteen years of planning down the drain.
If they had something shocking, they would have used it a long time ago.
The truth is Trump doesn’t have a perfect life. Nor do the rest of us.
Media whores think they’re the better than the rest of us but they know full well they could never survive the kind of anal probing they subject others to.
Rotten dirty scoundrels.
Yes, all that stuff. However, the vote of a person who thinks this is worse than anything Hillary has ever done counts just as much as yours. Recognizing that is just realistic.
This will be on the networks all the time for a few days. Hillary’s talk about the young rape victim never will be. An unbelievable amount of people form their opinions based on daytime tv “news.” It leaves me speechless when I hear people talking about it.
If Trump has anything to throw that will change the story, he needs to throw it now, OR he needs to turn in a great performance in the next “debate.” This is bound to come up. The only thing to say is, “Yeah, it was kind of rough, but guys talk that way. Just words, nothing happened.” That, I think, would help the general public put it in perspective.
I don’t know your history, but you’ve turned into a troll.
Well, I belong here as much as you do.
Its amazing how many Non Contributors are concerned.
Oh Donald could have a field day turning up hypocrisy here if he really wanted to.
