Donald Trump's War on Women
The Republican War on Women
Donald Trump has waged an incessant war on women―women he
considers fat, old, "uppity" or unattractive―for decades. He bullies them, belittles
them, body-shames
them and verbally abuses them. He truly is the unfiltered voice of the
Republican Party, saying what so many conservative alpha males seem to believe:
that women are to be seen (if they are attractive enough), but not heard; that their
proper place is subservience to alpha males (i.e., to themselves); that women
should have no say about their own bodies if they become pregnant; that
pregnancies due to rape and incest are "the will of God," and other
such absurdities.
For Trump, women are either servants or sex objects, rated on a scale of
1-10.―LiberallyBlogging in DailyKos
TRENDING/BREAKING NEWS:
E. Jean Carroll, a New York-based writer and longtime women’s advice
columnist, accused President Trump of sexually assaulting her more than two
decades ago in a dressing room of an upscale Manhattan department store. In an
interview with The Washington Post in June 2019, Carroll reiterated the
allegations, saying that during a chance encounter at Bergdorf Goodman in late
1995 or early 1996, Trump attacked her in a dressing room. She said Trump knocked
her head against a wall, pulled down her tights and briefly
penetrated her
before she pushed him away and ran out. That constitutes
rape. Carroll said she hoped that telling her
story “will empower women to come forward and not feel bad. . . . I blamed
myself and I was silent and I felt guilty. I beat up myself terrible.”
Carroll later revealed that she never had sex again after being raped by Trump.
A jury later found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation of character in
the case and awarded $5 million to Carroll. Trump did not testify during the
trial, or even bother to show up. In a video deposition Trump opined that rape
is par for the course for "stars" like himself and has been for the last million
years, whether "favorably or unfavorably." Apparently Trump doesn't know whether
rape is good or bad. In any case, Trump is now a certified sexual predator.
According to the Donald Trump Sexism Timeline we are keeping on this page, E.
Jean Carroll was the 105th female to accuse Trump of either sexual assault or
other unacceptable behavior. However, there have been more women who have come
forward since, including women with allegations of Trump acting inappropriately
in the White House.
Women accusing Trump of sexual misconduct in the White House include
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House director of strategic
communications and assistant to the president, who told CNN host Jake Tapper: “I
have countless pieces of what I
considered impropriety in the White House that I brought to the chief of staff
because I thought the way he [Trump] engaged with women was dangerous.” Tapper
asked: “You brought to Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, or other chiefs of
staff, incidents that you witnessed of Donald Trump behaving inappropriately
with women?” Griffin replied: “I did, as well as former White House press
secretary Stephanie Grisham and others. Nothing that rises to [the E. Jean
Carroll] level, but things that I would consider improper and that I had a duty
to report.”
Stephanie Grisham told CNN anchor Erin Burnett: “There was specific
staffer…that [Trump] would request for her to be on constant trips when it
wasn’t her turn…he one time had one of my other deputies bring her back so that
they could ‘look at her ass’ is what he said to him. And I wrote about this in
my book, so this is nothing new for me to be saying publicly…I sat down and
talked to her at one point [and] asked her if she was uncomfortable. I tried
everything I could to ensure she was never alone with him. I did take it to a
couple different chiefs of staff including Mark Meadows…at the end of the day
what could they do other than go in there and say, ‘This isn’t good sir,’ and
you know Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump wants to do…when you’re dealing
with the president of the United States, again, there’s no HR group or HR
representative to go to, to talk to about these kinds of things.” Grisham added:
“With this one staffer it was really bad, to the point that I was extremely
uncomfortable…every senior staff member knew it…it happened with her a lot. I
did everything I could to keep her off of trips actually, and to stay with her
if she was alone because I was really nervous about what could happen.”
During an interview with
Fox’s Maria Bartiromo,
Trump started to call
Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve,
a "pu---" but caught himself and didn't finish the word. He's used the term
before to disparage other people, so it comes as no surprise. For instance,
Trump was caught using the p-word as an insult on the infamous Access Hollywood
tape. He also called Ted Cruz the p-word before a large audience during a New
Hampshire campaign rally. And he's used it in other contexts, bragging about how
he can grab women by the genitals because he's a celebrity, which seems to
confirm what E. Jean Carroll and a number of other women have said he did to
them.
Fox's Tucker Carlson said that Trump responded to a remark about his hair by
messaging: "It's true you have better hair than I do, but I get more
pussy than you do."
I think Christians should seriously consider how Trump treats refugee children
and their mothers and fathers. After all, according to the Bible the Holy Family
were once refugees.
Now
Trump is putting the X back in Xmas by X-ing out refugee children and their
mothers. If baby Jesus and Mary showed up needing shelter, Trump wouldn't
provide them with even a lowly manger. Instead, he'd order American soldiers to
drive them back into the wilderness at gunpoint. Meanwhile, this is what the
satanic festivities at the White House looked like last
year:
Trump Christmas.
by Michael R. Burch
January 4, 2019: Trump blasted freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s expletive-laced
impeachment comments as “disgraceful” to herself, her family and her country, in
a fiery Rose Garden retort that made absolutely no sense. After all, how many
times has Trump disgraced himself, his family and his country by saying far
worse things? Mr. Double Standard should look in the mirror.
Trump called Stormy Daniels "Horseface" and a "total con" as he once again felt
free to insult a woman in public.
Trump told the American public that every raped woman who doesn't come forward
immediately is a liar, when he tweeted this about
Dr.
Christine Blasey Ford: "I have no doubt that, if the attack on Dr. Ford
was as bad as she says, charges would have been immediately filed with local Law
Enforcement Authorities by either her or her loving parents. I ask that she
bring those filings forward so that we can learn date, time, and place!"
If there was ever any doubt about Trump's "agenda" concerning women,
there can be none now. According to male chauvinists like Trump, women should be
seen (if they are attractive enough) but not heard.
If they speak out about sexual abuse they will be shamed and humiliated, as Dr. Ford was by Trump.
They will be called liars, as Dr. Ford was by Brett Kavanaugh. They cannot be trusted
to make decisions about their own bodies, so powerful male chauvinists will issue
them commandments from above.
The Trump administration is the ultimate boy's club, led by the The Donald
Himself in his role as Groper-in-Chief. Thus his nomination and defense of
Kavanaugh is no surprise, since:
Sexual predators of a feather
flock together.
As I predicted when Trump was running for president: "The culmination of Trump's war on
women, as president, will be to appoint
ultra-conservative Supreme Court justices who will strip women of their right to
choose, returning them to the Dark Ages when they were ruled by
nature and chauvinistic men."
Trump apologized to Brett Kavanaugh and his family for the "terrible pain and
suffering" they had been "forced to endure." There were no similar words of
comfort or encouragement for the victims of sexual assault whom Trump accused of
"lies and deception" during a swearing-in ceremony for Kavanaugh at the White
House. For women to ask for justice "violates every notion of fairness, decency
and due process" according to Trump, who told Kavanaugh, "I must state that you,
sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent." No, a rushed
"investigation" didn't prove anything, except that Trump and the GOP are much
more concerned about protecting alpha males than their female victims.
The Republican party has shamelessly aided and abetted Trump's war on women.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called public scrutiny of an alleged sexual
predator "the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics!"
Republican Senator John
Cornyn raged: “I can’t think of a more embarrassing scandal for the
Senate since the McCarthy hearings! When the comment was about the cruelty of
the process toward the people involved, and the question was asked, have you no
sense of decency? And I am afraid we have lost that!" Thus, a "sense of decency"
is to favor male abusers over their female victims. When a
rich, entitled white man's job is at stake, simply to ask
questions is cruel and unusual punishment. Never mind what the woman went
through if she's telling the truth. And how can the truth be determined if
questions are not allowed?
Serial murders get their day in court and witnesses can be subpoenaed to make
sure they receive fair trials. But victims of sexual abuse are supposed to be
not seen and not heard. According to the GOP, women who have been raped or
groped should clean themselves up, smile prettily, and keep their mouths shut.
So much for equality and justice! The American way, according to Republicans is
to assume that women are guilty and men are innocent, in matters of sexual
abuse.
Rush Limbaugh called the cry for justice "militant feminism" and an attack on
"white Christian men." Donald Trump Jr. said it was "scary" to see an alleged
sexual predator being questioned, and he confessed that he was more concerned
about his sons than his daughters! Donald Trump Sr. was adamant that the real
victim was the man: "The trauma for a man that’s never had any accusation
— he’s never had a bad statement about him. It's unfair to him at this point.
What his wife is going through, what his beautiful children are going through is
not describable." Never mind about the victim, her husband
or what her children are going through. Only the man matters. This is rather
obviously official Republican policy now, with Trump as president and judges
like Roy Moore and Brett Kavanaugh being protected and coddled.
Such hypocrisy! A judge who has spent his entire career asking people questions
in attempts to arrive at the truth should not be questioned himself. Just assume
the woman is lying and the man is telling the truth. Because we all know that
sexual predators never lie in order to protect themselves!
Methinks the laddies protest too much. Why are they circling the wagons? What
are they trying to protect? Could it be their power, their privilege, their
sense of entitlement? Will they be afforded the same sort of protection if they
are ever put in the same position?
By way of evidence of this war on women and their rights, I have included the accounts of scores of women
(100+ and counting), who have testified that Trump sexually assaulted them, or
barged
into their dressing rooms unannounced while they were naked or semi-nude, or otherwise
acted
inappropriately. The fact that some of the complainants were minors as young as
15
is very disturbing. What sort of man saunters into the dressing rooms of
teenage girls, then brags to Howard Stern that he can get away with it because
he owns a beauty pageant?
In an April 2005 interview with radio host Howard Stern, Trump confessed
to being a pedophile who preyed on teenage girls, some of them underage: "I'll
go backstage before a show and everyone's getting dressed and ready. I'm allowed
to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm
inspecting it. You know they are standing there with no clothes. 'Is
everybody ok?' And you see these incredible looking women, so I sort of get away
with things like that."
Van Jones called Trump a "super predator" and who can
disagree? But women are not taking a Trump presidency lying down:
women-led marches have taken place in over 600 locations across seven
continents—including Antarctica! An estimated 4.6
million people took part in one global day of action. Trump
was reportedly furious when the size of the demonstrations dwarfed the
attendance of his inauguration ceremony!
Trump called a black woman, Omarosa Manigault Newman, a "dog" and a
"lowlife" after she accused him and his White House administration of racism. So
Trump replied to an accusation of racism with a grotesquely racist tweet,
proving that Omarosa was correct in her accusation.
So far, at least nine women have come forward to accuse Judge Roy Moore of
inappropriate sexual behavior. Of course the leaders of the Republican Party
were outraged―or at least they pretended to be. But where
is their outrage over Donald Trump, who has also been accused of being a serial
sexual abuser, and confirmed it himself by bragging about groping women's
genitals to Billy Bush and about barging into the dressing rooms of teenage girls to
Howard Stern?
According to Trump, a black guy who shoplifts should be locked up for 10 years,
a black guy who kneels during the anthem should be fired, and a white guy who
repeatedly molests and propositions underage girls should be in the US Senate.
But if a white guy gropes women and brags about it, he should be the
American president!
Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump alleges that Donald Trump vetoed contestants from his Miss
Universe pageants based on race. An excerpt, published by Mother Jones, details Trump’s 2013 trip to Russia for the Miss Universe beauty contest. While the excerpt focuses mainly on
Trump’s business interactions while in Russia, it also describes the managerial style he allegedly used at his pageants. The book is co-authored by Michael Isikoff,
Yahoo News’ chief investigative correspondent, and David Corn, Mother Jones’ Washington bureau chief. According to Isikoff and Corn’s research, Trump always had the final say in who won the pageant.
The authors say Trump often vetoed contestants of color when he believed there were
"too many" colored contestants. According to one staffer, Trump would “toss out
finalists” whom the judges had chosen and replace them with women he preferred.
The contestants he tended to toss out, the staffer said, were women of color. He
would also reject women who had spurned his advances. n 2016, former Miss Teen
USA winner Kamie Crawford said she was warned that “Trump doesn’t like black
people.” Crawford said she saw Trump turn his back to a black Miss Universe
contestant who was rehearsing on stage, and “[make] a face like he was going to
vomit at the sight of her.”
Whenever a girl or woman is abused, Trump ALWAYS sympathizes with the abuser,
whether it's Roy Moore, Steve Bannon, Corey Lewandowski, Roger Ailes, Bill
O'Reilly, Andy Puzder, or Rob Porter. Why? ...
Predators of a feather
flock together.
―Michael R. Burch aka "The Loyal Opposition
Hell, Trump told USA Today that if his daughter Ivanka experienced
sexual harassment in the workplace, he "would like to think she would find
another career or find another company." No need to punish the male abusers,
just get rid of the female victims! Trump also told Howard Stern that it would
be "okay" for him to call Ivanka a "piece of ass." If that's how Trump feels
about his own daughter, just imagine how he feels about women in general.
If you ask a man who abuses his wife and children how he feels about them, he is
likely to say that he "loves" and "respects" them, but of
course his
actions prove otherwise.
Speaking of himself in superlatives, Trump claims that no one "loves,"
"respects" and "cherishes" women more than he does. But then he abuses them
verbally and―according to many women who have come forward
despite the risks involved―sexually as well. Here is what Trump
really thinks about women, in his own words:
"You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy." —
Donald Trump, Access Hollywood, 2005
"It doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful
piece of ass." — Donald Trump, Esquire,
1991
"Women, you have to treat them like shit." —
Donald Trump, New York Magazine, 1992
"When I come home and dinner's not ready, I go through the roof." —
Donald Trump, ABC News, 1994
"Vagina is expensive." — Donald Trump, confided
to Howard Stern at Trump's wedding to Marla Maples, 1993
"If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5% of the vote." —
Donald Trump, at a Trump Tower news conference, 2016
"Heidi Klum? Sadly, she's no longer a 10." —
Donald Trump, New York Times, 2015
The Top Ten Female Targets of Trump's Verbal Abuse
Alicia Machado ("Miss Piggy," "Miss Eating Machine," "Absolute Worst," Miss Housekeeper" and "Miss Housecleaning")
Stormy Daniels ("Horseface," "Total Con")
Maureen Dowd ("Neurotic dope," "Wacky" and "Crazy")
Bette Midler ("Grotesque" and "Disgusting")
Khloe Kardashian ("Fat piglet" and "the ugly Kardashian")
Arianna Huffington ("Dog" and "Unattractive inside and out")
Carly Fiorina (Trump opined that she couldn't possibly get elected because of
"that face")
Rosie O'Donnell ("Slob," "Big fat pig," "Disgusting pig," "Disgusting inside and
out," "Real loser," "Disaster," "My fat little Rosie" and "the Beast")
Megyn Kelly ("Bimbo" and "Lightweight")
Elizabeth Warren ("Pocahontas,"
"Goofy" and "Goofus")
Hillary Clinton (Crooked Hillary, "Lyin' Hillary," "Such a nasty
woman!")
Others: Cher,
Kristen Stewart, Heidi Klum, Gail Collins, Mika Brzezinski, Trump's female employees, and his wives Ivana Trump, Marla Maples Trump, and
Melania Trump.
The Donald Trump war on women is largely one of verbal abuse, body-shaming and
public humiliation. Here are just a few of the insulting terms Trump has used to
publicly abuse women:
"Cunt" (Sally Yates)
"Pigs"
"Fat pigs"
"Dogs"
"Disgusting animals"
"Slobs"
"Gold diggers"
"Bimbos"
"Babies"
"Brain-dead puppets"
"Disgusting" (Elizabeth Beck, a lawyer, after she requested a break to pump
breast milk for her baby)
"Face of a dog" (Gail Collins)
"Bitch" (Condoleezza Rice)
"Highly neurotic" (Debbie Wasserman Schultz)
"Sadly, no longer a 10" (Heidi Klum, who humorously "accepted" her new rating of
9.9 in a video response)
"Beautiful piece of ass" (any attractive woman willing to have sex with Trump)
In a phone interview Donald Trump told USA Today columnist Kirsten
Powers that if his daughter Ivanka were sexually harassed at work, “I would like
to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the
case.”
Trump's comments about women are disturbing and confirm a long-term pattern of
bullying and verbal abuse. Here's an excerpt from a Slate article:
Before entering politics, Trump criticized Bill Clinton not for mistreating
women, but for failing to find hotter mistresses. He once called [Paula] Jones a
"loser" and said of the [Monica] Lewinsky scandal that "people would have been
more forgiving" if Clinton had slept with "a really beautiful woman of
sophistication." Trump's message in bringing up Bill's adultery now is the same
as the right-wing slogan he retweeted last year: "If Hillary Clinton can't
satisfy her husband what makes her think she can satisfy America?" His belief
that Bill Clinton's affairs reflect badly on Hillary demonstrates something key
to his psyche: For Trump, the only salient distinction when judging a women's
worth is whether she is fuckable or unfuckable. The fuckable/unfuckable schema
is so deeply rooted in Trump that he can't fully grasp that not everyone shares
it. Consider how, the morning after Monday's debate, he defended himself from
Clinton's accusation that he'd bullied former Miss Universe Alicia Machado for
her weight. Speaking to Fox and Friends by phone, he said, "[S]he
gained a massive amount of weight, and it was a real problem." On Wednesday
night, speaking to Bill O'Reilly, he continued to paint himself as the victim of
Machado's sudden-onset unfuckability, suggesting that he deserves thanks for
trying to save her job. "I did that with a number of young ladies," he said.
"Look what I get out of it. I get nothing."

Sexism Timeline/Chronology
Women Who Claim to have been Sexually Assaulted or have
been Treated Inappropriately and Objectified by Donald Trump
BTW, it's amusing that Rudy Giuliani is now Trump's surrogate, defending him
from accusations of sexual assault and other improprieties by scores of women,
when in a 2000 "Mayor's Inner Circle" video, Giuliani in drag had his "breasts"
schmoozed by The Donald, after which Giuliani slapped his face and called him a "dirty boy."
Obviously, Giuliani was well aware of Trump's reputation for grabbing and
groping women without bothering to ask for their permission! Trump's outrageous
behavior was a running joke among alpha males in his circle. In 1993, fellow bad
boy Howard Stern asked Trump directly: “So you treat women with respect?” Trump
answered honestly: “No, I can’t say that either.” And hundreds of chauvinistic
public statements and tweets by Trump confirm that he doesn't treat women with
respect, or minorities, or anyone that he considers "weak" or "overweight" or
"unattractive."
(1)
Ivana Trump, the first wife of Donald Trump, said that he raped her after he
become furious about a botched scalp reduction procedure performed by a doctor
she had recommended. According to Henry Hurt III, Ivana told "some of her
closest confidantes" that she had been raped.
(2)
Jill Harth says that she was kissed, pawed and groped by Trump on multiple
occasions (her account appears in considerable detail, later on this page).
According to Harth, after she fought off Trump in his daughter Ivanka's bedroom,
that same night Trump assaulted a "calendar girl," who also had to
fight off Trump's advances. Harth also accused Trump of stalking her, despite
the fact that she was engaged and he knew her fiancée. She said that Trump
constantly name-dropped when he wasn't groping her. Harth sued Trump for
attempted rape in 1997, but a settlement was reached out of court.
(3)
Temple Taggart McDowell, a former Miss Utah, claims that Trump kissed her on the mouth
more than once, which she considered to be very inappropriate and "gross." She
says Trump also kissed other contestants on the mouth. She also said that
Trump's advances made her so uncomfortable that she was instructed not to be
alone in a room with Trump, but to have a chaperone accompany her.
(4)
Jessica Leeds says that Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up
her skirt in a first-class cabin. “He was like an octopus,” Leeds told the
Times. “His hands were everywhere. It was an assault.”
Leeds also told Megyn Kelly that Trump called her a "cunt" three years later at
a fundraising gala. Trump replied to Leeds' accusation with the dehumanizing comment: "that
would not be my first choice." (Which recalls his comment about "that face"
disqualifying Carly Fiorina from being president.)
(5)
Rachel Crooks, a receptionist at Bayrock Group in Trump Tower, says that she
encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building where Trump “kissed me
directly on the mouth.”
(6)
Cassandra Searles, a former Miss Washington, told Rolling Stone that
Trump treated pageant contestants “like cattle” and “continually grabbed my ass
and invited me to his hotel room.”
(7)
Mindy McGillivray told the Palm Beach Post that Trump groped her rear
end at Mar-a-Lago in 2003 when she was there accompanying a photographer
who was shooting a Ray Charles concert.
(8)
Kristin Anderson, at the time an aspiring model, told The Washington Post that
Trump put his hands up her skirt at a Manhattan nightclub in the early 1990s,
after sneaking up next to her on a couch. Though she hadn’t spoken about this
publicly, Anderson, who was in her early twenties at the time of the incident,
had recounted the story several times—two women interviewed by the Post
confirmed having heard about it from Anderson.
(9)
Summer Zervos, a former Apprentice contestant, claims that Trump kissed her
aggressively, groped her breasts and thrust his genitals against her.
(10)
According to CNN's Erin Burnett, a friend told her that Trump had acted
according to his self-avowed modus operandi: eating Tic Tacs before
kissing her on the lips without her consent in a Trump Tower boardroom in 2010.
(11)
Natasha Stoynoff said that Trump kissed her without her consent when they were
alone in a room: "I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against
the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat." Six people have
corroborated Stoynoff's account. Of course Trump denies that it happened. “It’s
possible he just doesn’t remember it,” Stoynoff said of Trump and the incident.
“It was over 10 years ago and I assume I am one of many, many women.”
(12)
According to a Daily Beast article, three Celebrity Apprentice
sources have said that Trump mocked deaf actress Marlee Matlin and called her
"retarded."
(13+)
According to Richard Hatch, the Donald made lewd comments to Marlee Matlin, to
Lisa Rinna, to "all of the women on the Apprentice," and even in front
of his daughter Ivanka.
(14) Cathy Heller says that Trump accosted her at a Mother's Day Event at Mar-A-Lago
in the late 1990s, while she was with her family and her in-laws, according to a
story first reported in The Guardian. She told ABC News that
she was having brunch with her family at Mar-a-Lago on Mother's Day when Trump
came to the table and was being introduced. She said that when she put her hand
out to say hello, he grabbed her unexpectedly and started to kiss her on the
lips. She said she pulled away, but he grabbed her again and got her near her
lips. The incident happened in front of her family, and she yelled at her
husband afterwards because he didn't do anything, she said. She has told family
and friends over the years, but didn't go public until now "because it wasn't
newsworthy then," she said.
(15) Alva Johnson says Trump kissed her without asking first, when she was
working on his presidential campaign at a rally in Florida in 2016. Johnson said
she told her boyfriend, mother and stepfather about the alleged kiss on the day
that it occurred, an account all three confirmed to The Washington Post.
Young Girls "Trumped" by The Donald
(15+)
Mariah Billado, a former Miss Vermont Teen USA, and three other women who did
not want to be identified, said that in 1997 Trump invaded a dressing room while
51 girls were changing their clothes. All were teenagers; some were girls as young as 15.
A number of the girls were nude, or half-naked. One of the girls in the
dressing room recalled Trump saying something like: “Don’t worry,
ladies, I’ve seen it all before.” When Billado discussed the matter with Ivanka
Trump, she was told, "Yeah, he does that."
(16+) Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona in 2001, said: “He just came strolling right in.
There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some
girls were topless. Other girls were naked.” Dixon, who was 18 at the time, told
KCBS-TV: “Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal
and half naked changing into our bikinis.” Dixon said that it was very awkward
for the contestants to have "the owner come waltzing in when we were naked or
half naked in a very physically vulnerable position." Dixon went on to say that
the contestants were pressured by people working for Trump to "go fawn all over
him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention."
(17+) Bridget Sullivan, a former Miss New Hampshire, also remembers Trump
barging into the dressing room when "we were all naked." (Trump himself
confirmed this creepy behavior when he bragged about the "funniest" thing being
his "inspecting" of beauty contestants in their dressing rooms, on the Howard
Stern show. He told Stern that "I sort of get away with things like that," so he
obviously knew that what he was doing was wrong. We "inspect" objects and
animals, so Trump's choice of words suggests that he sees young girls as objects
for his gratification.)
(18)
In a bizarre video clip, Donald Trump says that he will be "dating" a
very young girl on an escalator in 10 years. And we all have a good idea of what "dating" means when the word
emits from Trump's mouth.
(19, 20)
Trump also told two 14-year-old girls in a youth choir outside Manhattan's Plaza
Hotel that he would be "dating" them in a "couple" of years.
(21)
Trump has said on multiple occasions that he would like to "date" his daughter
Ivanka.
Trump also told Howard Stern that it was okay for Stern to call his
daughter a "piece of ass."
(22) Katie Johnson has filed three federal lawsuits against Trump, claiming that
she was raped by Trump and the convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein when she was
13 years old. According to the third lawsuit, she has two eyewitnesses who saw her
being raped on multiple occasions. The eyewitnesses both apparently worked for Epstein
as "party planners," recruiting “adolescent women” for his sex parties. One of
the party planners admitted that she lured the plaintiff to a party "with the
promise of money and meeting contacts in the modeling industry." According to the lawsuits, the 13-year-old
plaintiff was forced to engage in "unnatural lesbian sex" with a 12-year-old
girl, after which both girls were forced to "orally copulate Defendant Trump."
After Trump ejaculated, according to the lawsuit he zipped up his pants, pushed
both girls away, and berated them for the "poor quality of their sexual
performance." In the lawsuit the minor girls were described as "sex slaves" and
Katie Johnson said that she was threatened with physical harm to herself and her family if she
talked about the child rape operation. In one of the earlier lawsuits she also
said that Trump had given her money and ordered her to get an abortion.
(23) Trump opined that troubled teens are "great in bed" during a discussion about
Lindsay Lohan. “Can you imagine the sex with this troubled teen?” asked Howard
Stern. “Yeah, you’re probably right,” Trump said. “She’s probably deeply
troubled and therefore great in bed. How come the deeply troubled women, you
know, deeply, deeply troubled, they’re always the best in bed?”
(24) Trump spoke very oddly about his infant daughter Tiffany, during a segment
of Lifestyle of the Rich and Famous. "Donald, what does Tiffany have of
yours, and what does Tiffany have of Marla’s?" Robin Leach asked. "Well, I think
that she's got a lot of Marla," Trump said. "She's a really beautiful baby, and
she's got Marla's legs.'" Then Trump motioned to his chest and added, "We don't
know whether she's got this part yet, but time will tell." What kind of father
talks about his baby's legs and chest?
(25) In a series of tweets, Kamie Crawford described her first interaction with
Donald Trump after winning the Miss Teen USA competition in 2010. Crawford, who
was 17 at the time and was the first black girl to win the title in nearly a
decade, said that prior to meeting Trump, she was warned that "Mr. Trump doesn't
like black people," and that if he did respond to her kindly, it would be
because she was the "type of black he likes."
The Most Vulgar Man Ever
(26) Vendela Kirsebom, a Swedish model, once sat next to Donald Trump at an event.
After 45 minutes she came to the host, Graydon Carter, "almost in tears," and
pleaded with him to move her. Carter remembers: "It seems that Trump had spent
his entire time with her assaying the 'tits' and legs of the other female guests
and asking how they measured up to those of other women, including his wife. 'He
is,' she told me, in words that seemed familiar, 'the most vulgar man I have
ever met.'"

Lisa Boyne, a health food business entrepreneur, described a disturbing episode
at a restaurant―Raoul’s in the SoHo neighborhood of
New York―in 1996. According to Boyne, Trump
dominated the conversation in the limo on the way to the restaurant, boasting of
his sexual conquests and rating their attractiveness. “He was constantly talking
about himself, who he was dating, who he was sleeping with, who he was trying to
sleep with,” Boyne said. “I just remember feeling very surprised and upset.” At
the restuarant, Boyne said that Trump paraded women in front of their table,
looked under their skirts, and commented on whether they were wearing underwear.
“It was the most offensive scene I’ve ever been a part of,” Boyne told The
Huffington Post. “I wanted to get the heck out of there.” According to
Boyne, the group was seated at a semi-circular table, with the women in the
middle and Donald Trump and John Casablancas flanking either end. The women
couldn’t get out of their seats without one of the men getting up―which they
refused to do. Instead, Boyne said, Trump insisted that the women walk across
the table, allowing him to peer up their skirts while they did so. Trump “stuck
his head right underneath their skirts,” Boyne said, and commented on whether
they were wearing underwear and what their genitalia looked like. Boyne said
that Trump never made any such advance on her. “I’m not a model. He wasn’t
interested in me,” she said. “He was more interested in my opinion of who I
think he should sleep with. I remember that vividly.” Eventually, however, she
insisted that the men let her leave her seat. She found a pay phone at the
restaurant to call her roommate. At her roommate’s suggestion, Boyne returned to
the table, told the group she wasn’t feeling well and went home. “I met lots of
famous, influential wealthy people with Sonja [Morgan,] and none of them were
ever as vulgar, as disgusting, as rude, as sexist, such a low excuse for a human
being that I’ve ever met.

Samantha Holvey, Miss North Carolina 2006, who competed in the 2006 Miss USA
pageant, told CNN that during an event in New York City in the month before the
pageant, the pageant owner Donald Trump personally inspected each
woman, to the point that it was "the dirtiest I felt in my
entire life." Holvey explained how Trump personally inspected each of the
contestants: "He would step in front of each girl and look you over from head to
toe like we were just meat, we were just sexual objects, that we were not
people." In an interview with CNN's Don Lemon in 2016, Holvey said, "I felt very
dirty, very creepy. It's kind of like when you're in a bar and a creepy guy is
checking you out." On the final night of the 2006 pageant, Holvey said she saw
Trump walk into the dressing room where contestants were naked. This is
consistent with comments that Trump made himself on the Howard Stern show, when
Trump said that he "inspected" teenage girls, some who were as young as 15 years
old.

High-profile sexual harassment lawyer Gloria Allred told Newsweek: “I've had a lot of women contact me. They are all confidential. Needless to say, there are a number of women
who are intimidated in fear of what Mr. Trump would say or do and are not
willing to say or do anything to provoke that.”
Civil rights lawyer and sexual harassment expert Lisa Bloom, who represents Jill
Harth, says that she has also received calls from other women with stories about
Trump, but that so far, they have been afraid to go public.
More Accusations of Trump Sexism
(30) Donald Trump had barely met Rowanne Brewer Lane when he asked her to change
out of her clothes, into a bikini that he provided. Trump was having a pool
party at Mar-a-Lago. According to Lane: "There were girls in the pools,
splashing around. For some reason Donald seemed a little smitten with me. He
just started talking to me and nobody else. He suddenly took me by the hand, and
he started to show me around the mansion. He asked me if I had a swimsuit with
me. I said no. I hadn’t intended to swim. He took me into a room and opened
drawers and asked me to put on a swimsuit." Trump then proceeded to show her
off, calling her a "Trump girl."
(31) “That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees,” Trump told
former Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick on Celebrity Apprentice.
(32) Trump had a meltdown when a lawyer asked for a break to pump breast milk
for her baby. "He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he
screamed, 'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,' and he ran out of there,"
attorney Elizabeth Beck told CNN's Alisyn Camerota.
(33) When Hillary Clinton took a "potty break" during a debate, Trump called it
"disgusting."
(34) “You like your candy,” Trump once told Barbara Res, his head of
construction during the 1980s. “It was him reminding me that I was overweight,”
she explained.
(35) Trump once allegedly asked the reigning Miss Universe, Brook Antoinette
Mahealani Lee, for her opinion on his
daughter’s body. “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?” Brook
Antoinette Mahealani Lee replied, “I was like, ‘Really?’
That’s just weird. She was 16. That’s creepy.”
(36) Karena Virginia, a yoga instructor, said that Trump grabbed her arm and
groped her breast at the 1998 U.S. Open in Queens. "Don't you know who I am?" he
asked twice, according to the alleged victim.
(37) An unnamed Miss USA contestant told the Guardian that Trump
“barged right in, didn’t say anything, stood there and stared at us” as she and
another contestant were getting dressed for a pageant rehearsal.
(38-41) Jessica Drake, an adult film star, says that Trump, wearing pajamas in his
penthouse apartment, embraced and kissed her and two other women without their
consent. She also says that Trump later offered her $10,000 and the use of his
private jet, which she declined. “This is not acceptable behavior for anyone,
much less a presidential candidate,” said Drake, who identified herself as a sex
education advocate whose work has focused on consent and communication. “I am
not looking for monetary compensation. I do not need additional fame … I
understand that I may be called a liar or an opportunist but I will risk that in
order to stand in solidarity with women who share similar accounts.” According
to an article published by Esquire, Trump tried to have his
"charitable" foundation purchase a $120,000 luxury trip that included a date
with Salma Hayek, after the actress had declined his advances. So it seems Trump
was willing to pay large sums of money for "dates," although it's hard to detect
the "charity." Hayek is not a Trump fan. She agreed with Trump's self-assessment
that he hasn't changed since he was in the first grade: “I agree with him that
we have a first-grade bully running for the president of the United States.” The
actress accused Trump of bullying her, after she declined to go out with him.
She says that he used his influence to have an article placed in the
National Enquirer in which he was the one who turned her down, because she
was "too short." Trump's response? Mr. Piggy oinked: “Oh, I’m
sure she’s never been grabbed before.”
(42) Jennifer Murphy, Miss Oregon USA in 2003, says that she met with Trump for
a job interview in 2005 after she was fired from The Apprentice, and he
kissed her on the lips while walking her to the elevator afterward. Trump
referred to Murphy as "One of the most beautiful women I have ever seen." Murphy
said that she was "a little surprised" by the kiss―which
makes it sound uninvited and unexpected. The nonconsensual kiss occurred in the
same year that Trump bragged to Billy Bush about kissing and groping women
without asking for their consent first.
(43) According to an article in Britain's Daily Mail, "Donald
Trump saw Princess Diana as the 'ultimate trophy wife' and 'bombarded' her with
flowers following the breakdown of her marriage ... Broadcaster Selina Scott
said the billionaire businessman pursued the Princess of Wales to the point of
'stalking' in the mistaken belief he 'had a shot' with her. But Miss Scott, 64,
who has a long-running feud with Mr Trump, claimed he actually gave Diana 'the
creeps.'" Trump once described the Princess of Wales as a 'dream lady.' In his
book The Art of the Comeback he said: "I only have one regret in the
women department – that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana
Spencer." But he did court her, and she was not happy with his advances. On the
Howard Stern show, Trump told Stern that he thought he could have "nailed"
Diana. He also told Stern that Diana was "crazy" but that was a minor detail.
One can hardly blame her for not welcoming The Donald's neanderthalic advances.
(44+) According to Perez Hilton and a number of other sources, "The presidential
hopeful would host drug-filled parties crawling with underage girls
at the Plaza Hotel. Michael [Gross] recently reached out to two of Trump's old
partying buddies, and they dished deets about what went on during these illicit
get-togethers. One of the men, a fashion photographer whose name was excluded,
explained the parties often introduced rich, older men to 'young girls
assuming they'd get somewhere,' admitting that sometimes these girls were
as young as 15 years old and 'over their heads, they had no
idea, and they ended up in situations.' He clarified: 'There were always dramas
because the men threw money and drugs at them to keep them enticed. It's based
on power and dominating girls who can't push back and can be discarded. There's
always someone to pick them back up. Nobody wants to call home and say "Help
me." The photographer continued to describe the atmosphere, saying: 'It was guys
with younger girls, sex, a lot of sex, a lot of cocaine, top-shelf liquor.' He
also explained that the host himself would often end up sleeping with women who
were in attendance, but didn't specify their ages: "Trump was in and out. He'd
wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy. Trump
was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total
fucking beast."
(45+) Did Donald Trump create his modeling agency as a "date farm"? If so, did
some of the "dates" consist of rich older men having sex with minors? According
to Michael Gross, who attended some of Trump's parties in the 1990s, the parties
were thrown so that Trump's “wealthy friends, high-rollers from his Atlantic
City casinos, and potential Trump condominium buyers could meet models." Another former Trump party guest, male model Andy Lucchesi, "was often
responsible for allegedly wrangling models for the Apprentice alum. However, he
claims he also doesn't know the ages of the women Trump had sex with,
explaining: 'So, he's a man with a woman. A lot of girls, 14, look 24. That's as
juicy as I can get. I never asked how old they were; I just partook. I did
partake in activities that would be controversial, too.' He also corroborated
the photographer's cocaine claim, but insisted Donald never indulged in the
illegal substance: 'There was cocaine around. I never saw him do that. Donald
Trump does not do cocaine. He's in control of himself.' In the new article, Mr.
Gross seemed to insinuate that the New York native's modeling agency was
also serving as a "date farm" for either himself or famous friends. He
even
referenced a '90s quote attributed to Leonardo DiCaprio, in which the actor jokingly thanked
the controversial mogul for
starting the agency, saying: 'Wow one-stop date shopping. What a concept!' Of
course, while Gross included this reference in his piece about the parties,
Leo's comment appears to only reference the agency, and not any hotel bashes.
Nonetheless, Leo's reported exchange with the GOP presidential nominee is
circulating again." (BTW, Leonardo DiCaprio has said publicly that Trump
should not hold public office.)
(46+) As reported by Mother Jones, Canadian model Rachel Blais said
that Trump Model Management charged her and five other migrant models $1,600
each to share a tiny New York City apartment crammed with bunk beds. She said
all of the women ended up working illegally because the agency failed to secure
proper visas for them. “Honestly, they are the most crooked agency I’ve ever
worked for,” said Ms Blais, who signed with the company for three years in 2004
as a teenager. “It was by far the worst model apartment I ever
lived in. It was like modern day slavery.” At times, the apartment could be
occupied by 11 or more people. Two other former Trump models who shared the flat
with Ms Blais, spoke on condition of anonymity and were given the pseudonyms
Kate and Anna by the publication. “We’re herded into these small spaces,” Kate
said. “The apartment was like a sweatshop.” According to
company statements obtained by Mother Jones, Trump Model Management
recruited models as young as 14 from overseas. “I was by far
the oldest in the house at the ripe old age of 18,” Anna said. “The bathroom
always smelled like burned hair. I will never forget the place.”
(47) In addition to calling Alicia Machado "Miss Piggy," an "Eating Machine,"
"Miss Housekeeper" and "Miss Housekeeping," Donald Trump also slut-shamed her by
tweeting his followers to "check out" her "sex tape" (which apparently does not
exist).
(48+) According to USA Today, at least 20 separate lawsuits accuse the
presidential candidate and managers of his companies “of discriminating against
women, ignoring sexual harassment complaints and even participating in the
harassment themselves.”
(49) In one lawsuit, a waitress alleged that Trump repeatedly flirted with her.
(50+) USA Today also discovered at least three lawsuits in which women
claimed they lost their jobs at a Trump company for complaining about sexual
discrimination or harassment at work.
(51) Trump has been accused of trying to get Nancy O’Dell fired from her job as
a host for the Miss USA pageant after she rejected his advances (as detailed in
the Access Hollywood tape). Trump allegedly did not like the way she looked in
2007, since O’Dell was several months pregnant and thereby not living up to
Trump’s standards of appearance. However, O’Dell was under contract with NBC,
and the network opted to keep her in place as a host, much to Trump’s chagrin.
(52) Trump gave Mark Singer a tour of Mar-a-Lago for a New Yorker article
in 1997. Singer wrote that Trump introduced him to the property’s resident
physician, Dr. Ginger Lea Southall. When she was out of earshot, Singer asked
Trump where Southall had been trained. Trump replied, “I’m not sure. Baywatch
Medical School? Does that sound right? I’ll tell you the truth. Once I saw Dr.
Ginger’s photograph, I didn’t really need to look at her résumé or anyone
else’s. Are you asking, ‘Did we hire her because she’d trained at Mount Sinai
for fifteen years?’ The answer is no. And I’ll tell you why: because by the time
she’s spent fifteen years at Mount Sinai, we don’t want to look at her.”
(53, 54) An unnamed Miss USA contestant said that in 2001 Trump walked into her
dressing room unannounced while she and another contestant were undressed. She
told The Guardian that Trump "just barged right in, didn't say
anything, stood there and stared at us .... He didn't walk in and say, 'Oh, I'm
so sorry, I was looking for someone.' He walked in, he stood and he stared. He
was doing it because he knew that he could." Another contestant told The
Guardian that the contestant spoke to others of this event at the time.
(55) The Trump camp, led by Newt Gingrich, tried to slut-shame Megyn Kelly for
doing her job by investigating the claims of sexual assault against Donald
Trump. A visibly angry and agitated Gingrich accused Kelly of being "fascinated
with sex," when in reality it is Trump's fascination with sex, and his
self-admitted disinclination to ask women for their consent, that led to the
issue becoming so YUGE. Trump praised Gingrich for his
slut-shaming act: “Congratulations, Newt! Last night, that was an amazing
interview! That was amazing!” Trump beamed, as he took a break from campaigning
to officially unveil his Trump hotel in downtown Washington D.C. “We don’t play
games, Newt, right? We don’t play games!” Trump crowed, pointing at Gingrich,
triggering TV news network talk as to why Trump is so obsessed with the Fox News
Channel star, with whom he has tangled in the election cycle. In any case, Megyn
Kelly had the perfect response to Gingrich's absurd and childish accusation. She
responded: “You know what, Mr. Speaker, I’m not fascinated by sex. But I am
fascinated by the protection of women and understanding what we’re getting in
the Oval Office.” Touché!
(56) Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition
that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat
that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman
in 2006. “Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen
said, “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really
grabbed my butt. “I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What
is happening?’” Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year
that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania,
whom he had married the year before. “Somebody told me there that Trump liked me
because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me
disgusted.”
(57) Trump slut-shamed Kristen Stewart, sticking his piggish nose where it
didn't belong. For instance, this tweet: "Robert Pattinson should not take back
Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch.
He can do much better!" Trump followed up that ridiculous tweet with this one:
"Lots of response to my Pattinson/Kristen Stewart reunion. She will cheat
again--100 certain--am I ever wrong?" Well, yes, Dire Abby, you are frequently
wrong!
(58+) Trump insulted women in general: "There’s nothing I love more than women,
but they’re really a lot different than portrayed. They are far worse than men,
far more aggressive, and boy, can they be smart. Let’s give credit where credit
is due, and let’s salute women for their tremendous power, which most men are
afraid to admit they have." If men are aggressive and smart, as Trump claims to
be, that's peachy-keen. But if women are aggressive and smart, they are "far
worse" than men. Such wisdom from The Donald!
(59) Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank fame said Donald Trump once talked
about the size of her breasts during a business meeting. Corcoran, discussing
the multiple accusations of sexual assault against Trump with CNN’s Erin
Burnett, said it’s “preposterous that he’s claiming he’s done nothing like
that,” and shared how she was once “shocked” by Trump’s actions toward her
during a business meeting between the two. “I was pregnant with my first child
at the time. So was his second wife [Marla Maples],” Corcoran said. “And he
compared my breast size to his wife by putting his hands in the air, telling me
how large they are. “If a man is that way―so inappropriate―I just assume it’s
that way all the time,” Corcoran added. Trump made the same circular hand
gestures while postulating that his infant daughter's breasts might one day be
as big and luscious as her mother's.
(60) The New York Times recently obtained a timely cache of audio recordings in
which Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Michael D’Antonio interviews Republican
presidential candidate Donald Trump, as well as members of his family, for his
biography The Truth About Trump. Reporter Michael Barbaro has deftly
distilled the contents of the audio files in a piece titled
What Drives Donald Trump? Fear of Losing Status, Tapes Show. The "Trump
Tapes" reveal that The Donald has "tremendous difficulty empathizing with or
respecting other people," that he is "uniquely driven by a personal obsession
with seeking out the loving lens of the television camera," and that he has
"tremendous insecurities about lapsing into irrelevance." Resonating most
deeply, however, is Trump’s deep-seated fear of losing―of being publicly shown
up. (This, of course, takes on new relevance given the fact that he has left it
an open question whether he’ll accept the results of the presidential election
if they do not go his way.) In the tapes, Trump’s former spouse Ivana Trump
describes the time she outperformed him on the slopes―after withholding from her
husband that she was a skilled skier―touching off a "volcanic" snit of anger and
embarrassment.
(61) Apprentice producer Mark Burnett apparently agrees with women who
have accused Trump of being a mysogynist: “Given all of the false media reports,
I feel compelled to clarify a few points. I am not now and have never been a
supporter of Donald Trump’s candidacy,” Burnett said in a statement. “I am
NOT ‘Pro-Trump.’ Further, my wife and I reject the hatred,
division and misogyny that has been a very unfortunate part of
his campaign.”
(62) In a 2005 radio interview, Trump insulted women who ask their husbands to
help change diapers, and their husbands as well. Trump said he didn’t change
diapers because that’s the wife’s job. In fact, he said he wouldn’t marry a
woman who expected him to get his dainty little fingers dirty.
(63) Trump insulted Ghazala Khan, after she stood silently next to her husband,
Khizr Khan, as he delivered a passionate speech to the DNC. Trump engaged in a
grotesque stereotype of Muslim women: "Look at his wife, she was standing there.
She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything
to say. You tell me." Ghazala Khan later explained that she was too emotional
about her son's death to speak.
(64) Former Trump employee Louise Sunshine, who worked for his firm from
1973-1985, told the Washington Post that Trump kept a "fat picture" of
her in his desk drawer, that he would take out when she did something he didn’t
like.
(65+) In a 1992 interview with New York Magazine, Trump insulted all
women by saying: "You have to treat 'em like shit." But at least he consistently
lives up to his own advice!
(66+) Trump admitted that he treats female employees as sex objects: “It’s
certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on
The Apprentice were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex
appeal.”
(67+) According to Trump all women are charlatans and the smart ones are killers
who use a certain body part to manipulate men: "Women have one of the great acts
of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are
real killers. The person who came up with the expression ‘the weaker sex’ was
either very naive or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with
just a twitch of their eye—or perhaps another body part.”
(69) According to Trump a woman must be able to sexually please her husband, in
order to be president: “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband what makes
her think she can satisfy America?”
(70) Trump loves it when an alpha male puts an uppity "bitch" in her proper
place: "My favorite part [of Pulp Fiction] is when Sam has his gun out
in the diner and he tells the guy to tell his girlfriend to shut up. Tell that
bitch to be cool. Say: 'Bitch be cool.' I love those lines." From
TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald, 2005.
(71) Trump said that women who have abortions must be punished. Of course he
didn't say anything about punishing men who insist that pregnancies they caused
should be aborted.
(72+) “I want you to get some good-looking hostesses here,” Trump told Sue
Kwiatkowski, a supervisor at one of his golf clubs, according to USA Today.
Kwiatkowski also alleged that he said, “People like to see good-looking people
when they come in.”
(73) Trump humiliated Jennifer Hawkins, Miss Universe 2004, on stage in front of
an audience, in Sydney in 2011. "I believe, get even with people, if they screw
you, screw them back, 10 times harder," Trump said. "And I'll give you an
example, Jennifer Hawkins." What was Trump upset about? Due to a
miscommunication, Hawkins was not there to introduce him at an event. What a
massive ego! What a petty attitude. Trump called Hawkins to the stage, where she
was obviously uncomfortable standing next to Trump. He bragged about how at his
command "she got in her car and she got her ass over here" as if she were a
puppet at his command. At the end of his bizarre performance, Trump grabbed
Hawkins by the waist and forcibly kissed her. She turned away and put up an arm
to ward him off.
(74) When Trump bought the New Jersey Generals football team, he decided to
create a cheerleading squad call the Brig-a-Dears. But the cheerleaders
complained about too-revealing costumes, being paraded before drunk men in bars,
and basically being treated like hookers. "I really don't feel that going into
bars in these skimpy outfits in front of 25 drunken men is the kind of publicity
we should be involved in," said the group's director, Madeline Colangelo. She
resigned after the Generals refused to make changes, and 11 of the cheerleaders
skipped the April 15 game against the Arizona Wranglers in protest. They were
fired. "I've never been involved with anything so shabby before," the group's
choreographer told the Associated Press. One of the cheerleaders,
then-17-year-old Lisa Edelstein, noted, "We had complained for months that the
outfits fitted poorly in the back and exposed too much. Then they want us to go
into a bar [filled with] drunk men dressed like that. It's disgusting."
Edelstein is now a well-known actress who has starred in The West Wing and House,
M.D., and time doesn't seem to have improved the memories of her Generals
cheerleading career. During an interview with HuffPost Live, Edelstein
said the team had treated the women "like hookers…They weren't protected and
they were feeling really unsafe and uncared for and just sort of thrown into
these environments."
(75+) Michael Gross — who has penned books such as Model: The Ugly Business
of Beautiful Women — said Trump once told him that promiscuity was at one
time his “second business … If I hadn’t got married, who knows what would have
happened? You had drugs, women and booze all over the f—— place.” If all the
promiscuity had been consensual and with of-age women, perhaps voters would be
less concerned. But it seems that Trump's parties allowed rich, older men to
mingle with underage girls, including teenagers who worked for Trump's modeling
agency. Gross called Trump's agency a "date farm" and we all know what the word
"date" means in Trump's world. Gross also called Trump a "pig."
(76) The hashtag #ImWithTur is trending after Trump once again singled out and attacked NBC reporter Katy Tur in public for doing her job.
(Trump has a history of going on a rampage when women quote him or otherwise
stand up to him.) According to Fortune, "Trump has repeatedly insulted
and attacked Tur in public during the year and a half that she has been covering
his campaign." According to a piece Tur wrote for Marie Claire, Trump’s
hostility toward her dates back to a contentious MSNBC interview she conducted
with him in July of 2015. Trump has insulted Tur by calling her "Little Katy"
and a "third-rate journalist." Trump has attacked journalists so often that the
Committee to Protect Journalists put out a statement calling the Republican
nominee “an unprecedented threat to the rights of journalists,” adding that
Trump has “insulted and vilified the press” and “refused to condemn attacks on
journalists by his supporters.”
(77) “When I look at these great admirals and these great generals and these
great medal of honor recipients behind me ― to think of her being their boss? I
don’t think so!” Trump said at a rally in Selma, North Carolina. Trump’s
incredulity that Clinton could be a suitable military leader is rooted in a long
history of men doubting that female politicians could cut it on national
security. What makes him able to command admirals and generals? Well, he is a
man, after all!
(78+) Trump has been accused of union-busting and underpaying hundreds of
workers―many of them female―at the Trump International
hotel in Las Vegas. After months of stonewalling from Trump and his
partners, the National Labor Relations Board ruled that Trump’s ritzy hotel was
breaking the law by refusing to recognize its workers’ labor union. The board
ordered Trump to cease and desist and start bargaining toward a contract.
(79) In September 2015, while he was being profiled by Rolling Stone‘s
Paul Solotaroff, Trump saw fellow GOP candidate Carly Fiorina being interviewed
on a TV inside his private jet. According to Solotaroff, Trump’s “expression
sour[ed] in schoolboy disgust” at the sight of her. Then he launched into a
diatribe about Fiorina’s facial features: “Look at that face! Would
anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I
mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really folks,
come on. Are we serious?”
(80+) Now, this is rich: Melania Trump is crusading against online bullying.
Meanwhile the world's biggest online bully―her
husband―keeps tweeting up storms of insults! And Kellyanne "Wrongway" Conway keeps trying
to explain why The Donald isn't the biggest abuser of women in the history of
social media: He didn't really mean it! He's just misunderstood! It's a liberal
plot to make Trump look bad! This, despite the fact that Trump attacked
Republican women, including Carly Fiorina ("That face!") and Megyn Kelly ("She
was on the rag!").
(81) In March 2016, Trump tweeted an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz,
the wife of his then-competitor Ted Cruz. Earlier in the week, Trump had issued
a vague threat to "spill the beans on [Ted Cruz’s] wife," but instead, he retweeted a meme with
side-by-side photos of his wife Melania and Heidi Cruz with the caption: "No
need to 'spill the beans.' The images are worth a thousand words!" The message
of the thousand words seems to be that the wives of rich, powerful men are to be
judged solely by their looks and "hotness." This has been a constant refrain
with Trump through the years, thinking of his comment about not worrying what
the media says as long as he has a "beautiful piece of ass" at his side.
(82) Have Trump and his associates been playing "catch and kill" with the
accounts of women Trump had affairs with? The company that owns the National
Enquirer agreed to pay $150,000 to a former Playboy centerfold
model for her story of an affair with Trump, but then didn’t publish it,
according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and people
familiar with the matter. The tabloid-newspaper publisher reached an agreement
in early August with Karen McDougal, the 1998 Playmate of the Year. American
Media Inc., which owns the Enquirer, hasn’t published anything about what she
has told friends was a consensual romantic relationship she had with Mr. Trump
in 2006-2007. At the time, Mr. Trump was married to his current wife, Melania.
Quashing stories that way is known in the tabloid world as “catch and kill.”
Trump and American Media Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David J.
Pecker are longtime friends. Since last year, the Enquirer has
supported Mr. Trump’s presidential bid, endorsing him and publishing negative
articles about some of his opponents.
(83) Donald Trump has been rating women his whole life. And a simple ranking on
a scale of 1 to 10 wasn't enough: he sometimes broke it down into body parts.
"From the midsection to the shoulders, she's a 10," Trump said in an
interview with Howard Stern, who had asked him to rate the actress Halle Barry,
among many others. "The face is a solid 8. And the legs are maybe a bit less
than that."
(84) Trump considers himself an expert rater of boobs. He once rated a woman's
breasts on the Howard Stern show: “Her boob job is terrible. They look like two
light posts coming out of a body.”
(85+) Trump insulted all women when he told Howard Stern: “A person who is very
flat-chested is very hard to be a 10.”
(86) Trump “ranked” Marcia Cross, calling her a “solid four to five.”
(87+) The Donald has a real problem with working women who don't cook for their
husbands and have dinner ready on time! Here is what he said a 1994 clip about
his wife Marla Maples joining the workforce: "I have days where I think it's
great," Trump said in the newly-unearthed interview. "And then I have days where
if I come home and—you know, I don't want to sound too much like a
chauvinist—but when I come home and dinner's not ready, I'll go through
the roof, okay?" No, Donald, it's not okay.
(88) Juliet Huddy, a former Fox News anchor, said that Trump unexpectedly kissed
her on the lips in a Trump Tower elevator. The incident allegedly occurred
around the time Trump married his third wife, Melania. According to Huddy this
happened in the presence of a Trump security worker. Years after the elevator
incident, Trump appeared on Huddy's Fox News show and made light of what he
called "hitting on her," saying that "she blew me off." So in effect, he
confessed.
(89) Victoria Hughes, the former Miss New Mexico Teen USA, was one of five girls
who claimed that Trump walked in on them while they were changing during the
1997 Miss Teen USA pageant. “It was certainly the most inappropriate time to
meet us all for the first time,” she said, “The youngest girl was 15, and I was
the eldest at 19.” On The Howard Stern Show, Trump bragged about “inspecting”
the contestants backstage. It wasn’t clear if he was referring to the Miss USA
pageant, or the contest for teens. “You know, I’m inspecting because I want to
make sure that everything is good,” he said. “You know, the dresses. ‘Is
everyone okay?’ You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody
okay?’ And you see these incredible-looking women, and so, I sort of get away
with things like that.”
(90) Candace Smith, a former Miss Ohio USA, said Trump "came strolling right
into" the dressing room when she competed in the 2003 Miss USA Pageant.
(91) Trump even slut-shamed a senator, tweeting: "Lightweight Senator Kirsten
Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my
office 'begging' for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do
anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to
Bill & Crooked-USED!"
(92) Stacia Robitaille tweeted: "I was once on a elevator alone with @realDonaldTrump
(& a man w/him) at Madison Square Garden. He was aggressive & told me I was
coming home with him. I laughed, stating I was married to a Ranger. He
guaranteed me my husband didn’t make as much money as him. #ThisIsOurPresident"
(93) Wilson Phillips singer Chynna Phillips was propositioned by Trump. Billy
Baldwin, who is married to Chynna Phillips, replied to a Donald Trump Jr. tweet
about Al Franken as follows: “Your Dad is a 5th degree black belt when it comes
to sexual impropriety. In fact … I once had a party at the Plaza Hotel … your
father showed up uninvited & hit on my wife … invited her on his helicopter to
Atlantic City. She showed his fat ass the door. #TrumpRussia.”
(94) Omarosa Manigault Newman said that Donald Trump is "racial" but not a
"racist," which seems like a euphemistic way of saying that he is a racist. It's
like saying Hitler was "fanatical" but not a "fanatic." Omarosa tried to explain
her reasoning: "The things that he says, the types of pushback that he gives,
involve people of color. These are racial exchanges. Yes, I will acknowledge
many of the exchanges—particularly in the last six months—have been racially
charged. Do we then just stop and label him as a racist? No." But who keeps
creating racially charged
exchanges? Obviously, a racist! And
who but a racist would make her feel like this: "As the only African American
woman in this White House, as a senior staff and assistant to the president I
have seen things that have made me uncomfortable, that have upset me, that have
affected me deeply and emotionally, that have affected my community."
(95) Corey Lewandowski, who
managed Trump’s presidential campaign and Hope Hicks, a
campaign spokeswoman who is now Trump's White House communications director, had
an on-again, off-again romantic relationship, according to Fire and Fury
author Michael Wolff. After
Lewandowski was fired, Hicks worried about her ex's treatment by the press,
prompting Trump to console her: "You've already done enough for him. You're the best piece of tail he'll ever have."
Hicks reportedly fled the room in tears. Friends of Hicks
believe that she will need therapy once she’s done working in the White House: “Following the
Trump victory and her move into the White House, her friends and
intimates talked with great concern about what kind of therapies and
recuperation she would need after her tenure was finally over,” according to a
book excerpt posted in GQ magazine.
(96) The Wall Street Journal has reported that during the 2016
presidential campaign, Donald Trump's personal lawyer arranged a payment of
$130,000 to a former porn star in order to arrange her silence about an alleged affair
she had with Trump. Trump lawyer Michael Cohen allegedly arranged the payment to
Stephanie Clifford, who performed as "Stormy Daniels," so that she
wouldn't discuss her history with Trump on national television.
WSJ reporters appear to have obtained specific details about the payment,
which they say was sent to Clifford through her lawyer's "client-trust account
at City National Bank in Los Angeles." Jacob Weisberg, editor-in-chief of the
Slate Group, said that he had seen a draft copy of the agreement which had been
emailed to him by Clifford.
(97?) Alana Evans, the third porn actress in this list, said that she had a
sexual encounter with Trump: “All I’m going to say is: I ended up with Donald in
his hotel room. Picture him chasing me around his hotel room in his
tighty-whities.” Is not clear whether the alleged incident was abusive or
consensual. Evans also confirmed Clifford's account above, saying Trump and
Clifford wanted her to join in a threesome.
(98) Trump quite obviously judges women by their looks and ethnicity/origins.
That makes him a chauvinist and a racist. Here's an example. According to NBC
News, while being briefed in the Oval Office about a hostage situation in
Pakistan by a female intelligence analyst, Trump interrupted her to ask where
she came from. "New York City," she replied. But Trump pressed to know where her
"people" came from. When she replied that they were Korean, Trump opined that
the "pretty Korean lady" should be part of negotiations with North Korea!
(99) According to New York Magazine, Trump said that German ice skater
Katarina Witt "could only be described as attractive if you like a woman with a
bad complexion who is built like a linebacker."
(100) Christie Brinkley told Porter magazine
that in the early 1980s a "smarmy" Donald Trump asked her to join him on his
private jet — but she turned him down because she suspected he was “chasing
skirts.”
(101) According to Michael Wolff, Trump called Deputy Attorney General Sally
Yates a "cunt."
(102) During his presidential campaign, Trump assured the American public that
he always hires the best people: "I'll choose the best people for my
administration." But his White House staff secretary, Rob Porter, was accused by
two former wives of years of physical and verbal abuse. Colbie Holderness,
Porter's first wife, said the physical abuse began on their honeymoon. She
described being choked, kicked and punched in the face so hard that she ended up
with a very black eye. She asked Porter to take a picture of her with the black
eye, as a form of admission of what he had done, and the picture has since been
made public. The victim's brother, Trevor Paulson, and a close girlfriend who
declined to be named, both told CNN that Holderness had confided in them over
the years about Porter's abuse. Jennifer Willoughby, Porter's second wife, also
described abuse that began on her honeymoon. After they were separated, Porter punched a glass
pane out of her door and required medical attention because his hand was bleeding. The police who responded recommended that she take out a temporary
protective order. CNN reviewed a copy of the order dated June 2010, so there is
evidence to back up both women's allegations. Willoughby also said the Porter
yanked her naked out of a shower in another incident. A third woman later got in
touch with Porter's ex-wives and told them that she was also being
abused by him. According to the CNN report, she used the term "repeated abuse."
In February 2016, she wrote to Holderness: "Rob was abusive, degrading, a liar
and a cheater and during the course of my relationship with him, I found out
that he was to others, too. I am just searching for someone who might be able to
relate to the hell I have gone through." When Porter applied for a security
clearance, the FBI investigated the claims of domestic abuse and a full clearance
was not granted. So the pros apparently found the women's accounts credible. But
what about Trump and his self-vaunted ability to always find and hire the best
people? Are Rob Porter, Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George
Papadopoulos, Sebastian Gorka, Tom Price, Sean Spicer, Steve Bannon and Anthony
Scaramucci the "best people," really? Is Trump a terrible judge of character, or
does he just not care?
(103) It seems likely that Trump just doesn't care. After all, he continued to
support Judge Roy Moore's senate campaign even after multiple women came forward
with accounts of how Moore acted inappropriately when they were underage girls—plying
them with liquor and trying to have sex with them (while claiming to uphold the
law and the Bible!). Is there any evidence that Trump cares at all what happens
to girls and women, when he continued to support Moore and has been repeatedly
accused of ignoring a woman's right to say "no" (or even to be asked)?
(104) Want more evidence? According to Eliana Johnson of Politico, when
allegations of domestic abuse, including battery, surfaced against Steve Bannon
during the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said: "Don't worry about Bam Bam,
he's locked away in a room working 20 hours a day. He never comes out."
According to Johnson, it was Trump who gave Bannon the nickname Bam Bam, and he
gave it specifically because Bannon
had assaulted his wife, Mary Louise Piccard. Bannon was charged with domestic
violence and battery in the 1996 incident. The police report says Bannon's wife
claimed that he pulled at her neck and wrist during an altercation over their
finances, and an officer reported witnessing red marks on her neck and wrist to
bolster her account. Bannon also reportedly smashed the phone when she tried to
call the police. But to Trump abusing women is apparently a joke.
(105) E. Jean Carroll, a New York-based writer and longtime women’s advice
columnist, accused Trump of sexually assaulting her more than two
decades ago in a dressing room of an upscale Manhattan department store. In an
interview with The Washington Post in June 2019, Carroll reiterated the
allegations, saying that during a chance encounter at Bergdorf Goodman in late
1995 or early 1996, Trump attacked her in a dressing room. She said Trump knocked
her head against a wall, pulled down her tights and briefly
penetrated her
before she pushed him away and ran out. That constitutes
rape. Carroll said she hoped that telling her
story “will empower women to come forward and not feel bad. ... I blamed
myself and I was silent and I felt guilty. I beat up myself terrible.”
Carroll later revealed that she never had sex again after being raped by Trump.
A jury later found Trump guilty of sexual abuse and defamation of character in
the case and awarded $5 million to Carroll. Trump did not testify during the
trial, or even bother to show up. In a video deposition Trump opined that rape
is par for the course for "stars" like himself and has been for the last million
years, whether "favorably or unfavorably." Apparently Trump doesn't know whether
rape is good or bad. In any case, Trump is now a certified sexual predator.
Trump appealed the case, lost, and the damages payable to Carroll were increased
to $88 million.
(106)
Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former White House director of strategic
communications and assistant to the president, told CNN host Jake Tapper: “I
have countless pieces of what I
considered impropriety in the White House that I brought to the chief of staff
because I thought the way he [Trump] engaged with women was dangerous.” Tapper
asked: “You brought to Mark Meadows, the chief of staff, or other chiefs of
staff, incidents that you witnessed of Donald Trump behaving inappropriately
with women?” Griffin replied: “I did, as well as former White House press
secretary Stephanie Grisham and others. Nothing that rises to [the E. Jean
Carroll] level, but things that I would consider improper and that I had a duty
to report.”
(107)
Stephanie Grisham told CNN anchor Erin Burnett: “There was specific
staffer…that [Trump] would request for her to be on constant trips when it
wasn’t her turn…he one time had one of my other deputies bring her back so that
they could ‘look at her ass’ is what he said to him. And I wrote about this in
my book, so this is nothing new for me to be saying publicly…I sat down and
talked to her at one point [and] asked her if she was uncomfortable. I tried
everything I could to ensure she was never alone with him. I did take it to a
couple different chiefs of staff including Mark Meadows…at the end of the day
what could they do other than go in there and say, ‘This isn’t good sir,’ and
you know Donald Trump will do what Donald Trump wants to do…when you’re dealing
with the president of the United States, again, there’s no HR group or HR
representative to go to, to talk to about these kinds of things.” Grisham added:
“With this one staffer it was really bad, to the point that I was extremely
uncomfortable…every senior staff member knew it…it happened with her a lot. I
did everything I could to keep her off of trips actually, and to stay with her
if she was alone because I was really nervous about what could happen.”
(168 million)
Trump robbed 168 million American girls and women of their right to choose, by appointing highly
conservative Supreme Court judges who overturned Roe v. Wade. Trump then claimed
100% responsibility for "killing" Roe v. Wade, repeatedly bragging and crowing
that only he could have done it, and that he was "proud" and "honored" to have
robbed 168 million American citizens of their rights.
Sexual Assault is Normal and to be Expected
Trump does not limit himself to verbal abuse of women. There are
multiple allegations that Trump has discriminated against female employees who
didn't pass his "eye tests." And by his own admission, he is a serial groper of
women's genitals who "doesn't even wait" to start kissing them, then dive in ...
A 2005 video published by the Washington Post captures the real, unfiltered Trump. Here's what
Trump claims a famous man
like himself can do to women: "They let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em
by the pussy." The recording was picked up on a hot mic when Trump made an
appearance on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Ironically, Trump
was talking about freely accessing bush to
Billy Bush of
Access Hollywood; the recording picks up with Trump telling a story about hitting on
Nancy O'Dell, who was Bush's co-host at the time: "I did try and fuck her. She was married. I moved on her
very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. … I moved on her like
a bitch, but I couldn't get there and she was married. Then all of a sudden I
see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything." Moments later, Trump
notices Arianne Zucker, the soap opera actress who would escort him and Bush to
the set. Bush calls her "hot as shit." Trump says that he should "use some Tic Tacs" in case he starts kissing her.
"I'm automatically attracted to beautiful —
I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait,"
Trump said. "When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab
'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
When during the second presidential debate Anderson Cooper asked Trump if he
understood that he had been bragging about sexually assaulting women, Trump
chose to "beat around the bush" and claimed that he had never done what he had
boasted about doing. According to some of the women who came forward, this was
the moment when they decided to "go public" about what Trump allegedly did to
them.
Take a Tic Tac and grab them by the pussy is the closest thing to a "plan"
Donald Trump has described this entire election!―Samantha
Bee
Planned Parenthood Action Fund issued a statement from Executive Vice President
Dawn Laguens saying: "What Trump described in these tapes amounts to sexual
assault." House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, who said he was "sickened" by Trump's
comments, announced that the Republican presidential candidate will no longer
appear with him at a campaign event in Wisconsin. Former presidential candidate
Mitt Romney said: "Hitting on married women? Condoning assault? Such vile
degradations demean our wives and daughters and corrupt America's face to the
world." "Game over," said former Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor. "He is discussing
sexual assault." "It's horrifying, disgusting, and on a whole other level than
any of his previous comments," said Democratic strategist Lis Smith. "This isn't
him just being sexist. This is him bragging about committing sexual assault."
Republican pollster Christine Matthews, who specializes in helping Republicans
reach out to women, said that "this is just another nail in the coffin."
In 2007, TMZ reported that Trump tried to have O’Dell fired as Miss USA
host because he allegedly didn’t like the way she looked while she was several
months pregnant. (Trump’s people did not deny the report at the time, and simply
refused to comment.) Trump also made disparaging remarks about Kim Kardashian
when she was pregnant, body-shaming her by saying that she had
become "large" and should watch the kind of clothes she wore in public!
Was Trump exaggerating about being a serial groper of women's genitals? Not according to make-up artist Jill Harth, who said the
recording of Trump bragging that his stardom allowed him to do whatever he
wanted to women, including "grabbing them by the pussy," came as no shock to
her. "That was exactly what he did to me," she told the Daily News.
Harth sued Trump in 1997, claiming he sexually harassed her for years and
attempted to rape her at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Harth said that in
1993 she and her fiancé and boyfriend of 13 years, George Houraney, were working on a
"calendar girl" business deal with
Trump. During a trip to the billionaire's Florida mansion, Trump forced her into
his daughter Ivanka's bedroom, threw her against a wall, then began kissing her,
lifted up her dress, and tried to touch her private parts. This took place while
her fiancé was in the next room.
Here's what happened, according to a Sunday Review article by Nicholas
Kristof:
On Jan. 24, 1993, Harth and Houraney went to Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in
Florida for a contract-signing celebration, bringing along some "calendar girls"
at Trump's request. He offered Harth a tour of the estate and then pulled her
into the empty bedroom of his daughter Ivanka. "I was admiring the decoration,
and next thing I know he's pushing me against a wall and has his hands all over
me," Harth told me. "He was trying to kiss me. I was freaking out." Harth says
she was desperately protesting, and finally managed to run out of the room and
find the group again. She and Houraney left rather than stay the night, as they
had intended. Some of the calendar girls stayed, and the sexual harassment
lawsuit says Trump showed up uninvited in the predawn hours in the bedroom of
one of the young women; she kicked him out but was shaken. When contacted, the
woman declined to speak about the experience, and I'm not naming her here. Trump
was then with Marla Maples, who was pregnant that spring with his daughter
Tiffany, but this didn't constrain him. He took an intense interest in the
calendar girls, pursuing some and rejecting others, Harth says, adding that he
had an aversion to black contestants and made derogatory comments about them.
... "He's all about him," Harth says, summing up what she learned about the man
who may be our next president. "He's a con artist."
In Harth's complaint, she said that at a dinner
meeting at the Plaza Hotel, Trump groped her under the table repeatedly. The
suit goes on to state that Trump introduced Harth to Plaza Hotel staff as his
"new girlfriend" and, after a series of lewd comments about women, blurted out
to Houraney, "You know, there's going to be a problem. I'm very attracted to
your girlfriend."
Harth had to physically push Trump away, told him to "stop
it," and yet he kept coming back with more unwanted advances. Harth concluded:
"If it's not consensual and somebody pushes you up against a wall and is all
over you? If I hadn't pushed him away, I'm sure he would've just went for it. He
was aggressive. And he has a sense of entitlement. And he thinks everybody's in
love with him — every woman. I've heard him say things like this." Harth alleges
that Trump continued to pressure her to leave Houraney, even as he was divorcing
first-wife Ivana and dating would-be second wife Marla Maples. "He name-dropped
continuously," Harth said under oath, "when he wasn't groping me." She found his
advances so offensive that at one point she "vomited profusely."
Trump confirmed his cavalier attitude toward sexual assault in one of his
tweets. It's completely natural and to be expected for men to sexually assault
women, according to The Donald! Here's what he tweeted about sexual assaults in
the military: "26,000 unreported sexual assults [sic] in the military―only
238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women
together?" In other words, if Trump were in the military, we should expect him
to sexually assault women, unless they are kept out of his sight and mind!
Shaming and blaming the victims seem to be part of his sick game.
Recently a transcript from a 1994 Primetime Live interview was
unearthed in which Trump states: "I tell friends who treat their wives
magnificently, get treated like crap in return, 'Be rougher and
you’ll see a different relationship.'"
Harth was the third woman to accuse Trump of sexual assault. The first was his
first wife, Ivana Trump, who accused Trump of raping her when he became furious
about a botched scalp reduction procedure performed by a doctor she had
recommended to him. The second accuser was a minor at the time she alleges that
Trump assaulted her. A lawsuit filed in a Manhattan federal court accused Trump
of raping a 13-year-old girl in 1994, around the time of Harth's alleged
attacks. The rape allegedly took place during a party held at the home of
Trump's billionaire friend, Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious pedophile who served 13
months in jail for soliciting underage girls for sex. In the court filing, "Defendant Trump" allegedly
"initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four
different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant
Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff,
and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage
sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no
effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff's pleas by violently striking
Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever
he wanted." The lawsuit states that "Immediately following this rape, Defendant
Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of
the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her
family would be physically harmed if not killed." Another anonymous woman,
identified as "Tiffany Doe," corroborates those charges, and says she witnessed
the rape. As AlterNet noted, "Tiffany Doe testified that between 1991 and 2001,
Epstein put her on his payroll, tasking her with bringing underage girls to
parties."
NEW YORK (AP) — In his years as a reality TV boss on "The Apprentice," Donald
Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders
who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked
about which ones he'd like to have sex with. The Associated Press interviewed
more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who
described crass behavior by Trump behind the scenes of the long-running hit show
... The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump's
behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign.
Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct
on the set. Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd
comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to
that of his daughter, Ivanka. During one season, Trump called for female
contestants to wear shorter dresses that also showed more cleavage, according to
contestant Gene Folkes. Several cast members said Trump had one female
contestant twirl before him so he could ogle her figure. Randal Pinkett, who won
the program in December 2005 and who has recently criticized Trump during his
run for president, said he remembered the real estate mogul talking about which
female contestants he wanted to sleep with, even though Trump had married former
model Melania Knauss earlier that year: "He was like 'Isn't she hot, check her
out,' kind of gawking, something to the effect of 'I'd like to hit that.'" ...
Former producer Katherine Walker said Trump frequently talked about women's
bodies during the five seasons she worked with him and said he speculated about
which female contestant would be "a tiger in bed." A former crew member who
signed a non-disclosure agreement and asked not to be identified, recalled that
Trump asked male contestants whether they would sleep with a particular female
contestant, then expressed his own interest. "We were in the boardroom one time
figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and
pointed to someone and said, 'You'd f... her, wouldn't you? I'd f... her. C'mon,
wouldn't you?'" The person continued: "Everyone is trying to make him stop
talking, and the woman is shrinking in her seat."
Howard Stern says sexual assault is verbotten in locker rooms: "All the times
I've been around guys — and believe me when I'm around guys 85 percent of the
time you're talking about pussy but I have never been in the room when someone
has said 'grab them by the pussy,'” Stern says. "No one's ever advocated going
that step where you get a little bit, 'Hey, I'm going to invade someone's
space.'" Yes, Stern is coarse, and a provocateur. But he and his ribald buddies
are not talking about non-consensual sex. What Trump said is beyond the pale,
and unlike anything I have ever heard in a locker room, or any room, no matter
how much testosterone and machismo was flowing.
"Vagina is Expensive"
An excerpt from an article published by The Huffington Post:
In a January 1997 interview with Donald Trump, shock jock Howard Stern relayed
some crude marital advice that the brash businessman gave him before his second
trip down the aisle, with Marla Maples. (The couple would separate a few months
later.) "Donald pulled me aside at his wedding," Stern said in comments that had
not resurfaced until now. "He said, you know I am getting remarried, but Howard,
vagina is expensive. I will never forget those words. The guy
is right. Those were the exact words!"
Stern and Trump then laughed about the conversation. Trump did not contradict
Stern's recollection of the conversation. Donald Trump was talking about his
wife on the day of their wedding.
More examples of Trump's abusive war on women
Trump robbed 168 million American girls and women of their right to choose, by appointing highly
conservative Supreme Court judges who overturned Roe v. Wade. Trump then claimed
100% responsibility for "killing" Roe v. Wade, repeatedly bragging and crowing
that only he could have done it, and that he was "proud" and "honored" to have
robbed 168 million Americans of their rights.
The same judges will rob gay women of their right to marry.
Trump bullied a little old lady, Vera Coking, by attempting to use eminent domain to steal
her house for a quarter of its value; fortunately she stood up to his bullying in court
and was able to keep her house.
For more than a decade, Trump tried to keep veterans from street vending on
ritzy Fifth Avenue while he peddled expensive baubles to his rich patrons; of
course many veterans these days are women.
Trump insisted that American soldiers must become mass murderers of women and
children, by hunting down and "taking out" the families of terrorists for
purposes of "retribution."
Trump has displayed chauvinism by blaming Hillary Clinton for "enabling" her
husband's infidelities, an absurdly hypocritical accusation since he brags about
his own sexual "conquests" of women.
"If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5% of the vote."
Trump has accused Hillary Clinton of playing the "woman card," while belittling
her "stamina" and "strength."
Trump has criticized Hillary Clinton for interrupting and shouting, while he
interrupts and shouts more than any other presidential candidate.
In other words, Trump constantly plays the "woman card" himself, while
hypocritically doing things he criticizes women for doing.
Trump's strategy has been explained by Roger Stone: “He’s going to have to deconstruct Hillary Clinton if he’s going to
run against her. He can’t let her be the august Secretary of State and former
Senator.”
(Even though that's what she is. In other words, it's the attack of
the alpha male boy's club on any woman who tries to join.)
In a 2008 court filing, Hayley Strozier described an order to axe a "highly
competent and professional" female employee because, her superior said, "Mr.
Trump does not like fat people." (This despite Trump being morbidly obese.)
Trump insulted women for aging: "Sometimes I do go a
little bit far," he allowed, adding after a moment: "Heidi Klum. Sadly, she's no
longer a 10."
Trump went on the rag about menstruation, claiming there was blood coming out of Megyn Kelly's
"whatever" after she quoted his verbal abuse of women during the first
Republican presidential debate.
Back in the ‘90s Trump told New York magazine, "Women, you have to
treat them like shit."
Trump was accused of rape by his first wife, Ivana, after he became enraged by a
botched scalp reduction procedure performed by a doctor she had recommended.
Donald Trump became―we believe―the first American
presidential candidate to call another candidate a "pussy" when he mocked Ted
Cruz for not being a gung-ho supporter of torture (waterboarding).
Did Donald Trump Stalk Princess Diana?
Donald Trump told Howard Stern that he thought he could have "nailed" Princess
Diana.
However, Selina Scott, a friend of
Diana's, claimed in the Sunday Times that Trump "bombarded Diana at Kensington Palace with
massive bouquets of flowers" and that the princess had said the businessman gave
her "the creeps." She wrote: "As the roses and orchids piled up at her
apartment, she became increasingly concerned about what she should do. It had
begun to feel as if Trump was stalking her."
Donald Trump's Attacks on Rosie O'Donnell
Over the years Donald Trump has called Rosie O'Donnell a "degenerate," a
"pig," a "fat pig," a "big pig," a "beast," a "slob," a "loser," "dumb,"
"desperate," and "fat."
"Tara Connor is a great beauty, and then you have Rosie, the Beast; you
have Beauty and the Beast."
"I called her a pig, I didn't say she was fat, because that's politically
incorrect, but come to think of it, is she fat? Assuming I did call her a fat
pig, would I be wrong?"
"I called her a pig, a degenerate; I said that her wife is a lovely person."
"I feel sorry for Rosie 's new partner in love whose parents are devastated at
the thought of their daughter being with @Rosie--a
true loser."
"I hit that big pig face," Trump boasted after O'Donnell
stopped responding to his insults.
"This slob ― no, I'm not allowed to use the word ‘fat,'" Trump
complained, citing "politically correct bullshit."
"I think I can cure her depression," Trump said. "If she'd stop looking
in the mirror, I think she'd stop being so depressed."
"Rosie O'Donnell, I said very tough things to her, and I think everybody
would agree that she deserves it and nobody feels sorry for her."
Donald Trump's Potty Mouth
Here are some of the more "colorful" potty words and terms employed by Donald Trump to
describe women, his rivals and his critics: pussy, bimbo, gold digger, goofus, ugly,
grotesque, "real killers," "brain dead puppets," crude, rude, obnoxious, strident, dumb, fat, "fat pigs," slobs,
disgraceful, disgusting,
"disgusting animals," "unattractive both inside and out," dogs, "sweating like a dog," "face of a dog,"
"cheated like a dog," "barking like a dog," "nervous mess,"
shaking, sleaze,
sleazy, sleazebag, scum, perv, nasty, slime, slimy, sick, pathetic, unstable, "totally
unstable individual," pathological,
deviant, "basket case," "mental problem," choker, lightweight, "lightweight choker,"
"choke artist," "nervous wreck," weak,
"weak as a baby," weakest, "little boy," "no chance," overrated, loser, "total loser,"
"total disaster," "low
energy," liar, crazy, "lies like crazy," "the biggest liar I've
ever seen," "the single biggest liar I've ever come across," dishonest, "very dishonest," moron,
dope, dopey, fool, "jealous fool," "very foolish," worthless, stiff, "total
stiff," "major
inferiority complex," "truly weird," "spoiled brat," "without a properly
functioning brain," "got schlonged," zero, thugs, "a total Bush-y" and so on.
One young journalist who travels with Trump remarked that she's grown accustomed
to hearing him use the same words—scum and sleazebags—to
describe ISIS terrorists and American reporters. At his campaign
events, Trump has had journalists consigned to pens and has even required them
to have escorts for "potty breaks."
The Shame and Blame Game: Donald Trump's Many Offensive Remarks About Women
Donald Trump has a long history of verbally abusing women—both individually and
collectively. He has made chauvinistic remarks about his wives, his daughters,
his female employees, beauty contestants, actresses, singers, and his female
political opponents such as Carly Fiorina, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren.
What follows is an extensive collection of Trump quotations, in a series of
categories.
Women are by Nature Manipulative, Sexually Aggressive
Killers
"Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine
and needy, but inside they are real killers." [And of course
Mr. Wiggy Piggy is The Expert!]
"The person who came up with the
expression 'the weaker sex' was either very naive or had to be kidding. I have
seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye—or perhaps another
body part."
"They are far worse than men, far more aggressive,
and boy, can they be smart." [Women being smart seems to be a
very bad thing to Mr. Boinker Oinker!]
"There's nothing I love more than women, but they're really a lot different than
portrayed. They are far worse than men, far more aggressive."
"They want to burn their bras and complain about equal pay and being treated as
men, and the second they get criticized for anything they start acting like
nine-year-old little girls."
Where Does The Donald Want to See Women? On Their Knees, as
Sexual Objects, Begging for Favors
According to The Donald, it is a very "pretty picture" to see women
drop to their knees to beg men for
favors.
Trump told Brande Roderick, a contestant on The Apprentice: "It
must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees."
"My favorite part of Pulp Fiction is when Sam has his gun
out in the diner and he tells the guy to tell his girlfriend to shut up. Tell
that bitch to be cool. Say: 'Bitch be cool.' I love those lines."
"Women: You have to treat 'em like shit!"
Trump told Howard Stern that he believed there was something "sick" about women
that caused them to be attracted to men who treat them poorly [like shit].
Trump posted an attack video showing Hillary Clinton barking like a dog.
"I think Gloria [Allred] would be very very impressed with [my penis]!"
"You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got
a young and beautiful piece of ass."
"When a man leaves a woman, especially when it was perceived that he has left
for a piece of ass—a good one!—there are 50 percent of the
population who will love the woman who was left."
"Oftentimes when I was sleeping with one of the top women in the world I would
say to myself, thinking about me as a boy from Queens, 'Can you believe
what I am getting?'"
He spoke often of Princess Diana, saying he would have bedded her "without
hesitation" because "She had the height, she had the beauty, she had the
skin. She was crazy, but these are minor details."
"Why do people think it's egotistical of you to say you could've gotten with
Lady Di?" Howard Stern asked. "You could've gotten her, right? You could've
nailed her." Trump agreed: "I think I could have."
Eva Longoria? "She's really cute, I have to tell you, she's really bouncy,
really cute," Trump told Howard Stern in 2005. "She's about 5-foot-1. Do you
like girls that are 5-foot-1? They come up to you know where."
"She's got beautiful skin," Trump added. "You have to get started, you have to
like short girls. She's very, very short. You know, she goes out with a
basketball player, which is interesting but she's very short."
Women's Body Fluids are Disgusting
"Disgusting" (four times) was The Donald's mocking, sneering
reaction to Hillary Clinton's bathroom break at a presidential debate; Bernie
Sanders also took a break but that was not "disgusting" per Trump.
When lawyer Elizabeth Beck requested a break to pump breast milk, Trump had a
cow: "He got up, his face got red, he shook his finger at me and he screamed,
'You're disgusting, you're disgusting,' and he
ran out of there."
Trump also went on the rag about menstruation, claiming there was blood coming out of Megyn Kelly's
"whatever" when she asked him difficult questions during the first debate.
Donald Trump's Big Breast Fetish
"A person who is very flat-chested is very hard to be a 10," Trump told
Howard Stern, in pidgin English
Trump told Howard Stern that he thinks "anyone is insane" who reduces the size
of their breasts.
Trump said of Carmen Electra: "The boob job is terrible—they look like two light
posts coming out of a body."
Trump reportedly said of his ex-wife Marla Maples, "Nice tits, no brains."
Trump has mentioned wanting to date his daughter Ivanka, who has obviously had a
major boob job, a number of times: "[Ivanka] does have a very nice figure. I've
said if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."
Speaking of his daughter Ivanka again: "Yeah, she's really something, and what a
beauty, that one. If I weren't happily married and, ya know, her father . . . "
Asked by Howard Stern to name the "three hottest chicks you're seen," Trump
named Keira Knightley, Paris Hilton, and his daughter Ivanka. He also noted that
he had watched Hilton's sex video.
Howard Stern asked Trump if he would still love Melania if she were disfigured
in an accident. Trump asked, "How do the breasts look?" Assured that her breasts
were fine, Trump said he would "stay with her 100 percent."
During the same interview Trump said he wouldn't take care of any kids Melania
had; he'd just pay for them.
Trump's big breast fetish extends even to his infant daughter Tiffany: "Well, I
think that she's got a lot of Marla, she's a really beautiful baby, and she's
got Marla's legs. We don't know whether she's got this part yet [gestures toward
his chest, making large breast-like circles with his hands], but time will tell."
Women Should be Judged Differently than Men: i.e., by their
Looks, Sex Appeal and Husbands
"Look at that face!" Trump told a Rolling Stone reporter as
Carly Fiorina appeared on TV. "Would anyone vote for that?"
"Can you imagine that, the face of our next next president? I mean, she's a
woman, and I'm not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are
we serious?"
Trump later repeated the same argument about Hillary Clinton: "Does she look
presidential, fellas? Give me a break."
"It's certainly not groundbreaking news that the early victories by the women on
The Apprentice were, to a very large extent, dependent on their sex
appeal."
To a female reporter: "I mean, we could say politically correct [sic] that
the look
doesn't matter, but the look obviously matters. Like you wouldn't have your job
if you weren't beautiful."
Trump has used Bill Clinton's marital infidelities to attack Hillary Clinton for
"not being strong" on women's issues! [Oink! Oink! Mr. Wiggy Piggy!]
"Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she would get five
percent of the vote," according to The Donald.
"I believe we're all equal except women still have to try harder and they know
it. They will do what they have to do to get the job done and will not
necessarily be demure about it."
Tweet: "The Miss U.S.A. pageant will be amazing tonight. To be politically
incorrect, the girls (women) are REALLY BEAUTIFUL. NBC at 8 PM."
"[Hillary] was favored to win — and she got schlonged." [If a woman loses an
election, it's like being inseminated by a man, according to the wisdom of The
Donald.]
All Women Want The Donald
"All the women on The Apprentice flirted with me—consciously or
unconsciously. That's to be expected." [It must be the hair, and the charm!]
"Their sex drive makes us look like babies." [So says the Manchild Himself!]
Trump says women throw themselves at him: "They'll walk up, and they'll flip
their top, and they'll flip their panties."
Women's
Looks are all that Matters! Those who are not Tens in Trump's Opinion are
Disgusting and Useless!
Trump can't help insulting women for aging: "Sometimes I do go a
little bit far," he allowed, adding after a moment: "Heidi Klum. Sadly, she's no
longer a 10."
"Angelina Jolie has been with so many guys she makes me look like a baby ...
And, I just don't even find her attractive."
"Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing [to me] because everyone thinks she's like
this great beauty. And I'm not saying she's an unattractive woman, but she's not
[a] beauty, by any stretch of the imagination. I really understand beauty. And I
will tell you, she's not—I do own Miss Universe. I do own Miss USA. I mean I own
a lot of different things. I do understand beauty, and she's not."
On Rosie O'Donnell: "You take a look at her, she's a slob. She talks like a
...
like a truck driver." [And what exactly is the problem with talking like a truck
driver, Mr. Boinker Oinker, when you do it yourself?]
"If I were running The View, I'd fire Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, I'd look
at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers, I'd say 'Rosie, you're fired.'"
"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband what makes her think she can
satisfy America?" [Is that a female president's main function: to "satisfy" men,
Mr. Wiggy Piggy?]
"Cher is an average talent who's out of touch with reality. Cher is somewhat of
a loser. She's lonely. She's unhappy. She's very miserable."
New York Times columnist Gail Collins wrote that Trump "sent me a copy
of the column with my picture circled and 'The Face of a Dog!' written over it."
"I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm
more honest and my women are more beautiful."
Wives cannot be Trusted with any Responsibility in a Trump Business, except
Supporting The Donald without Reciprocity!
Trump became very irritated when his first wife Ivana tried to talk about
business (rather than about him?): "I will never again give a wife
responsibility within my business."
"I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable
assets?"
Trump considered it "selfish" that his second wife Marla wanted to spend more
time with him: "I always viewed her whys as being very selfish."
"For a man to be successful he needs support at home, just like my father had
from my mother, not someone who is always griping and
bitching."
"One thing I have learned: There is high maintenance. There is low maintenance.
I want no maintenance."
According to Trump, women of principle do not sign prenuptial agreements
and men should not marry them; the ones who do sign are calculating gold-diggers
out for a score, but marry them to save money later!
Since Trump has been married three times with three prenuptial agreements, he
has called his wives gold-diggers and has advised men to only marry
gold-diggers, not women of principle!
Women, However, do have One Redeeming Quality!
Despite women's general disgustingness and lack of character, an attractive woman is a "beautiful piece of ass" who may be allowed to
hang around Trump for a short period of time until her looks begin to fade.
"Good looks had been my top—and sometimes, to be honest, my only—priority in my
man-about-town days."
"[Ivanka] does have a very nice figure. I've said if Ivanka weren't my daughter,
perhaps I'd be dating her." [Trump has said a number of times that he'd like to
date his own daughter, only mentioning her looks and her body, never her
character, intelligence or accomplishments.]
Donald Trump Plays Dear Abby, Dispensing Wonderful Advice about Women and
Relationships!
"Often, I will tell friends whose wives are constantly nagging them about this
or that that they're better off leaving and cutting
their losses."
Trump called Anthony Weiner a "sleazebag" and a "perv," then mocked his wife
Huma Abedin for being in love with him.
"Lolo Jones, our beautiful Olympic athlete, wants to remain a virgin until she
gets married―she is great."
"@ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her
former husband left her for a man―he made a good decision."
"Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In
a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert!" [Yes, listen to Dire
Abby!]
"Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like
a dog & will do it again―just watch. He can do much better!"
"@katyperry is no bargain, but I don't like John Mayer—he dates and tells—be
careful Katy (just watch!)."
"Sarah Jessica Parker voted 'unsexiest woman alive' – I agree. She said 'it's
beneath me to comment on the potential Obama charitable gift.' What's really
beneath her?"
"While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct."
"Now grotesque @BetteMidler is into the Trump act, trying to become relevant again."
Beautiful women are like beautiful buildings: "Beauty and elegance, whether in a
woman, a building, or a work of art, is not just superficial or something pretty
to see."
Sexual assaults are "to be expected" if women join the armed forces: "26,000
unreported sexual assaults in the military, only 238 convictions. What did these
geniuses expect when they put men & women together?"
[According to Trump's "logic" we should expect lots of sexual assaults at high
schools, colleges, universities, and apartment buildings ... it's only natural,
after all!]
Donald Trump has only One Regret in the "Woman Department"
Trump has no regrets for his failed marriages or the many vile and insulting
things he has said to and about women: "I only have one regret in the women
department—that I never had the opportunity to court Lady Diana Spencer. I met
her on a number of occasions. I couldn't help but notice how she moved people.
She lit up the room with her charm, her presence. She was a genuine princess—a
dream lady." (Would it have been, perhaps, like the Beauty and the Beast?)

Out Foxed or Fox Outed?
Fox News has blasted Donald Trump for his repeated attacks on Megyn Kelly, one
of the network's most prominent anchors and host of the nightly news talk show
"The Kelly File." The Fox statement came after Trump sent out a tweet calling
for viewers to stop watching Kelly's program. "Donald Trump's vitriolic attacks
against Megyn Kelly and his extreme, sick obsession with her is beneath the
dignity of a presidential candidate who wants to occupy the highest office in
the land," Fox News said in its statement. "Megyn is an exemplary journalist and
one of the leading anchors in America―we're
extremely proud of her phenomenal work and continue to fully support her
throughout every day of Trump's endless barrage of crude and sexist verbal
assaults. As the mother of three young children, with a successful law career
and the second highest rated show in cable news, it's especially deplorable for
her to be repeatedly abused just for doing her job." Trump's attacks on Kelly
began when she had the temerity to quote highly offensive things he had said publicly
about Rosie O'Donnell and other women.
Chronology/Timeline of Trump's Attacks on Women
This chronology was originally excerpted from an article in The Telegraph
by Claire Cohen and has since augmented with information from other sources,
including Wikipedia. Accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior such
as non-consensual kissing, groping, barging into dressing rooms, etc., are
bolded.
1946: Donald Trump is born on June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York. His mother
is a Scottish immigrant and his father was conceived in Germany.
1959: Donald Trump is sent to New York Military Accademy, for behavioral
problems.
1966: Donald Trump transfers to the Wharton School of Business and begins buying
properties in Philadelphia. Trump said he began his career with a "small" loan
of $1 million (which was a YUGE sum of money back then).
1972: Donald Trump takes over the family business and renames it the Trump
Organization.
1973: Louise Sunshine, who worked for Trump from 1973-1985, told the
Washington Post that he kept a "fat picture" of her in his desk, which he
would take out when he was unhappy with her. The Justice Department accuses the
Trump Organization of discrimination against minorities (many of them, or
course, women and their children).
1977: Donald Trump marries his first wife, Ivana.
1980s: Jessica Leeds says that Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to
put his hand up her skirt in a first-class cabin. “He was like an octopus,”
Leeds told the Times. “His hands were
everywhere. It was an assault.” Leeds also told Megyn Kelly that Trump called
her a "cunt" three years later at a fundraising gala. Trump replied to Leeds'
accusation with the dehumanizing comment: "that would not be my first choice."
(Which recalls his comment about "that face" disqualifying Carly Fiorina from
being president.)
1989: Donald Trump begins an affair with Marla Maples, which leads to
his divorce.
1989: Ivana Trump stated in a deposition taken during their divorce
proceedings, that Donald had visited her plastic surgeon following which he had
expressed anger and ripped out hair from her scalp. The 1993 book
Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald Trump, by
Harry Hurt III, described the alleged attack as a "violent assault" during which
Donald Trump attacked Ivana sexually. According to the book, Ivana later
confided to some of her friends that Donald Trump had raped her.
1990: In an interview with Vanity Fair, Trump said: "I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or
pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?"
1990: Donald Trump's divorce from Ivana became final. She signed an agreement
with a gag order that keeps her from revealing details about him and their
marriage. When she revealed details in her book, Donald Trump sued and won a gag
order.
1990s: Kristin Anderson, at the time an aspiring model, told
The Washington Post that Trump put his hands
up her skirt at a Manhattan nightclub in the early 1990s, after sneaking up next
to her on a couch. Though she hadn’t spoken about this publicly, Anderson, who
was in her early twenties at the time of the incident, had recounted the story
several times—two women interviewed by the Post
confirmed having heard about it from Anderson.
1991: Trump told Esquire: "You know, it doesn't
really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful
piece of ass."
1992: Jill Harth said that Trump sexually assaulted her multiple times,
including once in his daughter Ivanka's bedroom.
1992: In an interview with New York Magazine, Trump said about women:
"You have to treat 'em like shit." Apparently, he did.
1992: An Entertainment Tonight video shows Trump watching pre-teen
girls going up an escalator. "I'm going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you
believe it?" he says about one of them. He was 46 at the time, shades of Judge
Roy Moore!
1993: Marla Maples has a child by Donald Trump before they are married. Tiffany
Trump is born in October and the couple marry in December.
1993: Trump told Newshub, "Yes, I have that image [as a womanizer]. I
think certain women are more beautiful than others, to be perfectly honest, and
it's fortunate I don't have to run for political office."
1994: Trump told ABC News, “I have days where, if I come home, and I
don't want to sound too much like a chauvinist, but when I come home and
dinner's not ready, I go through the roof.”
1997: After Trump bought the Miss USA beauty pageant, he told Howard Stern: “I’m
going to get the bathing suits to be smaller and the heels to be higher.” Trump
also told Stern that he thought he could have "nailed" Princess Diana. According
to a confidante, however, Princess Di considered Trump a creepy stalker.
1997: Cathy Heller says that Trump accosted her at a Mother's Day Event
at Mar-A-Lago, while she was with her family and her in-laws, according to a
story first reported in The Guardian. She told
ABC News that
she was having brunch with her family at Mar-a-Lago on Mother's Day when Trump
came to the table and was being introduced. She said that when she put her hand
out to say hello, he grabbed her unexpectedly and started to kiss her on the
lips. She said she pulled away, but he grabbed her again and got her near her
lips. The incident happened in front of her family, and she yelled at her
husband afterwards because he didn't do anything, she said. She has told family
and friends over the years, but didn't go public until now "because it wasn't
newsworthy then," she said.
1997: Mariah Billado, a former Miss Vermont Teen USA, and three other women who
did not want to be identified, said that in 1997 Trump invaded a dressing room
while 51 girls were changing their. All were teenagers; some were girls as young
as 15. A number of the girls were nude, or half-naked. One of the girls in the
dressing room recalled Trump saying something like: “Don’t worry, ladies, I’ve
seen it all before.” When Billado discussed the matter with Ivanka Trump, she
was told, "Yeah, he does that." Trump would also confirm this sordid behavior,
bragging about it on the Howard Stern show in 2005.
1997: Temple Taggart McDowell, a former Miss Utah, claims that Trump
kissed her on the mouth more than once, which she considered to be very
inappropriate and "gross." She says Trump also kissed other contestants on the
mouth. She also said that Trump's advances made her so uncomfortable that she
was instructed not to be alone in a room with Trump, but to have a chaperone
accompany her.
1997: In his book The Art of the Comeback, Trump advised men to
pass on women of principle who refused to sign prenuptial agreements, and marry
gold diggers instead! He said: "There are
basically three types of women and reactions. One is the good woman who very
much loves her future husband, solely for himself, but refuses to sign the
agreement on principle. I fully understand this, but the man should take a pass
anyway and find someone else. The other is the calculating woman who refuses to
sign the prenuptial agreement because she is expecting to take advantage of the
poor, unsuspecting sucker she's got in her grasp. There is also the woman who
will openly and quickly sign a prenuptial agreement in order to make a quick hit
and take the money given to her."
1998: Karena Virginia, a yoga instructor, said that Trump grabbed her arm and
groped her breast at the 1998 U.S. Open in Queens. "Don't you know who I am?" he
asked twice, according to the alleged victim.
1998: Trump begins an affair with Melania Knavs (later changed to Knauss). Trump
is still married to Marla Maples.
1999: Donald Trump divorces his second wife, Marla Maples. Trump's father dies,
leaving an inheritance estimated at $250 million.
2000: Trump told Howard Stern ten famous women he wanted to have sex with,
including Princess Di. “She was crazy, but these are minor details.”
2000: Bridget Sullivan, a former Miss New Hampshire, also remembers
Trump barging into the dressing room when "we were all naked."
2001: Tasha Dixon, Miss Arizona in 2001, said: “He just came strolling right in.
There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some
girls were topless. Other girls were naked.” Dixon, who was a teenager at the
time, told KCBS-TV: “Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress
rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis.” Dixon said that it was very
awkward for the contestants to have "the owner come waltzing in when we were
naked or half naked in a very physically vulnerable position." Dixon went on to
say that the contestants were pressured by people working for Trump to "go fawn
all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention."
2003:
Mindy McGillivray told the Palm Beach Post that Trump groped her rear
end at Mar-a-Lago when she was there accompanying a photographer
who was shooting a Ray Charles concert.
2003: Trump told Howard Stern that his daughter Ivanka had "the best body."
2004: Trump told the Daily News: "all of the women on The Apprentice flirted
with me—consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."
2005: Melania Knauss becomes pregnant with Trump's child before they marry.
Trump marries his third wife in January and the baby is born two months later.
According to the witnesses immediately below, Trump was never faithful to
Melania.
2005: Juliet Huddy, a former Fox News anchor, said that Trump unexpectedly kissed
her on the lips in a Trump Tower elevator. The incident allegedly occurred
around the time Trump married his third wife, Melania. According to Huddy this
happened in the presence of a Trump security worker. Years after the elevator
incident, Trump appeared on Huddy's Fox News show and made light of what he
called "hitting on her," saying that "she blew me off." So in effect, he
confessed.
2005: Rachel Crooks, a receptionist at Bayrock Group in Trump Tower, says that she
encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building where Trump “kissed me
directly on the mouth.”
2005: Trump admitted to Howard Stern that he "inspects" teenage girls in
the nude: "I'll go backstage before a show, and everyone's getting dressed and
ready and everything else ...You know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to
go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore I'm inspecting it
... Is everyone OK? You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you
see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like
that."
2005: Natasha Stoynoff said that Trump kissed her without her consent when they were
alone in a room: "I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against
the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat." Six people have
corroborated Stoynoff's account. Of course Trump denies that it happened. “It’s
possible he just doesn’t remember it,” Stoynoff said of Trump and the incident.
“It was over 10 years ago and I assume I am one of many, many women.”
2006: Trump called his daughter Ivanka "voluptuous" on the Howard Stern show.
Trump also told The View that “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps
I’d be dating her.” And we all know what Trump does on his dates!
2006: Jessica Drake, an adult film star, says that Trump, wearing
pajamas in his penthouse apartment, embraced and kissed her and two other women
without their consent. She also says that Trump later offered her $10,000 and
the use of his private jet, which she declined. “This is not acceptable behavior
for anyone, much less a presidential candidate,” said Drake, who identified
herself as a sex education advocate whose work has focused on consent and
communication. “I am not looking for monetary compensation. I do not need
additional fame … I understand that I may be called a liar or an opportunist but
I will risk that in order to stand in solidarity with women who share similar
accounts.” According to an article published by Esquire, Trump tried to have his
"charitable" foundation purchase a $120,000 luxury trip that included a date
with Salma Hayek, after the actress had declined his advances. So it seems Trump
was willing to pay large sums of money for "dates," although it's hard to detect
the "charity." Hayek is not a Trump fan. She agreed with Trump's self-assessment
that he hasn't changed since he was in the first grade: “I agree with him that
we have a first-grade bully running for the president of the United States.” The
actress accused Trump of bullying her, after she declined to go out with him.
She says that he used his influence to have an article placed in the

grabbed my butt. “I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What
is happening?’” Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year

whom he had married the year before. “Somebody told me there that Trump liked me
because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me
disgusted.”

inside and out. If you take a look at her, she's a slob. How does she even get
on television? If I were running The View, I'd fire Rosie. I'd look her right in
that fat, ugly face of hers and say, 'Rosie, you're fired.' We're all a little chubby but Rosie's just worse than most of us. But it's not
the chubbiness — Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out."
Trump also took a jab at her love life and managed to offend the LGBT community
