The Trump Tape

While I'm at it today, speaking of Hollywood, I had Thanksgiving dinner with the in-laws this past November - yes I know you know Thanksgiving is always in November here in Maine - but anyway one of my brother-in-laws brought up the Access Hollywood Trump tape where, according to this brother-in-law, Trump confessed to molesting women. Actually I think how the conversation actually went down was he asked what's the difference between what Harvey Weinstein and Al Franken and Conyers and all the rest were being accused of and what Donald Trump was accused of and I said the difference is the others admitted it and Trump didn't so he brought up the Access Hollywood tape and I said Trump didn't admit to raping and/or harassing women in that tape. He was talking about how easy it is to molest women when you're rich. He didn't say he does these things.

Actually I was just guessing. I didn't know that for sure. But I had watched the video and heard what Trump said and I couldn't recall him actually saying he made a practice of actually physically molesting unwilling women. After that Thanksgiving dinner talk I intended to check my claim so I listened again today on this YouTube video picked at random from the results of my Google search.

As disgusting as Trump's locker room words were in this video, I am inclined to think this backs up what I told the in-laws. Trump does admit to hitting on (attempting to seduce) some married woman and he admits to kissing women and he does indeed appear to give the lady in this tape a socially acceptable peck on perhaps the ear which is the only touching he actually does admit to doing on this scandalous tape but as with so much other Trump speak the Left has successfully used this tape to "prove" to their herds of obedient mind-numbed sheep that Trump grabs women by the pussy.

I'm inclined to think that he doesn't make a practice of behaving that way but the Left doesn't seem to care. Perception is reality for the Left. The end justifies the means.
