Today we have once again been given proof that Donald Trump has zero respect for women. The fact that he has self proclaimed him as a “celebrity” is crazy enough. Donald Trump has never been a celebrity, he is a business man, a television personality and now a politician, and happens to be rich (or claims to be, as we have no proof, as we have not seen his tax returns). Trump felt that because of this he has a right to “have” any women that he want to.
Trump's statements about grabbing a woman's pussy is not only vulgar, it clearly shows he has no respect for women, and it is also a sexual assault on those that he has done such acts to.
Trump's claims that it was “locker room” talk and that is all is not a valid claim of defense of the statement or actions of this type. I get it that as men, many of us will makes statements about out sexual conquests, rather true of false with our friends, best buddies or maybe even you dad, uncles, brothers. These are not the type of statements a responsible man would make when they are doing some type of media or press event, even if they thought the mics were not on. Also, if you listen to the audio of the conversation, you can hear laughter of several people, and at least one sounds to be that of a female, and he refers to “Nancy” in the conversation, as someone that is there and part of the conversation, or at least able to hear it. I would never make statements like that in mixed company, and that would include, talking about a man's penis if I was in group of gay and straight men. It is just plain tacky.
Also, why does he need to bring Bill Clinton into the fold on this. Anything Bill Clinton has said or done, does not justify Trump's actions. It is like a child that caught stealing candy, and saying “ Timmy did it and did not get in trouble, so I thought it was OK for me to do it.” Accept responsibility for your own actions ,stop blaming other for your own mistakes and failures.
In the past Trump, has tried to make Bill Clinton's marriage infidelities a campaign issue. He has even implied the Hillary may have has affairs. How can a man that cheated on Ivana Trump with Marla Maples, then cheated on Marla Maples with Melania. Not exactly someone that should be judging others on their marriages.
That being said we know that Bill Clinton is no angel, but for all public records of his affairs, none of them have not been consensual. It is not clear if the same can be said for the actions on Trump.
With all of this being said, I DO NOT think that what goes on in the bedroom has any effect on a persons ability to be President. However, I do think we can see a strong pattern of failure to respect women, along with other comments that he has made against many different minority groups. These are not the qualities that I want in the person that is representing the USA to the world.
I hope and pray that American does the right thing and tells Trump, “Your Fired!” come November.

Oh, one more thing, Billy Bush is not an innocent bystander of this conversation, his is just as guilty for taking part in the conversation, and said comments that confirmed or encouraged the words of spoken by Donald Trump. I would ask the NBC removes him from the Today show immediately. His actions are not those of true journalist.
