What sickened me was the word “grab.” He isn’t talking about “sex” on that recording. He is talking about power—his power. The hallmark of assault is an exercise by the perpetrator of power and control, and that is what he was describing.

No, the hallmark of an assault is lack of consent. Since the words "they let you" modified the word "grab" it was the hallmark of consensual sexual favors by a groupie to a celebrity. Trump was a playboy and a Democrat at the time. With the same kind of faults of many other playboy Democrats.

Common decency and honesty precludes accusing a playboy Democrat of "assault" for consensual contact. Even if the Democrat playboy becomes a Republican Presidential candidate years later.

Is it rape culture when people say they have someone “by the balls”, meaning they have the upper hand? Same difference.
