Trump: "I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and fuck her, she was married." Trump: "Yeah that's her with the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful... I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Bush: "Whatever you want."

Trump: "Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."

Billy Bush has pushed back against reports that Donald Trump believes the Access Hollywood tape was a hoax. Writing in the New York Times on Sunday, the television host says: “Of course he said it.”

Bush, who was recorded listening to Trump making lewd comments about grabbing women “by the pussy”, said that recent reports that the US president was denying the remarks “hit a raw nerve in me”.

He also said that he believed at the time that Trump’s remarks were “a crass standup act ... Surely, we thought, none of this was real”. Bush added that after reading the accounts of many of the nearly 20 women who accused Trump of sexual misconduct, he now believes “the ‘grab ’em by the pussy’ routine [was] real.”

Does anyone seriously think that this man, Donald J. Trump, would give even a fraction of a shit about what happened to young girls working in his spa? What he cared about was Epstein out manning him.

I hope Trump continues to open his mouth and dig the hole he's digging for himself until all of the people in this country wake up to the truth about him.

Mary, some good stuff, some questionable. I was just listening to Sidney Blumenthal, an honored writer, on Backgroundbriefing.org talking about Trump and Epstein and he said the reason Trump pulled away from Epstein was a real estate deal gone south. He offered no evidence but something worth considering nonetheless. As you said yesterday, it will be the survivors, and what they can tell us, who will bring Trump down, not the files, if, in fact, we ever see those.

Donald Trump stated that he was upset with Jeffrey Epstein because he stole his “spa” girls 🙄 from Mar-a-Lago. Trump’s done something wrong and he’s clearly worried about it coming out.

Regardless of why they ‘broke up’, we do have the testimony of hundreds of women who’ve were the young girls who were abused. So so many.

Why don’t we believe them?

Impeach and imprison.

Spot on. Trump is a living embodiment of Dorian Grey. If you look you will see it in his demeanor and soul.
