Did Billie Bush also make him assault all those women?? Are we blaming him for that too?

Billie’s apparently so powerful, it’s a wonder how he couldn’t get his cousin the nomination.

I’ve swung back and forth between despising her and thinking her a Stockholm Syndrome victim of spousal abuse. I’m still not sure – she doesn’t ever seem to be fully present. Just so vacant behind the eyes – the perfect wife for a man with such a needy ego.

Melania, (almost) all of us “boys” talk our own version of “locker room” with our buddies, friends and brothers. I sure do – always have. My understanding is (most) “girls” do the same sort of thing. However, HO had a mic attached to him. He knew it was there. By that time in his life, he’d spoken to so many interviewers and audiences (with those mics attached) that he had more experience with live mics than Justin Bieber. So, give us all a break – there is no excuse for your husband’s behavior other than him being a (then) fifty-nine year old Eight-year old. And, here’s the kicker: If your husband didn’t have such an enormously huge narcissistic ego to stroke, thereby jumping into the GOP Presidential race, none of this would make one hill a beans to the American people. But – here we are. Own it.

“I said to my husband that, you know, the language was inappropriate. It’s not acceptable,” she said.

“Donald, do what you need to do, but, please don’t talk about it. That kind of talk is so impolite.”

And he was 59. Seriously, she calls him a “boy” like he’s her son’s age, and he was 59 then and 70 now. If she think giggling Billy Bush can get Trump to say dirty things, well, imagine what Putin would get him to say.

Howard Stern also ‘got him to say’ all sorts of ludicrous gross things, like that Melania never farted.

Bush was 34 years old at the time. Trump 59. Just goes to show how insecure Trump is about his aging manhood that he had to brag to the younger guys about his sexual conquests. Here’s a question I have not heard asked – was the sound man in the van with Trump and Bush, or was the audio on a feed to another location? If the sound man was in the van, he surely knew the mic was hot and he was getting off on impressing his audience.

I think the man’s extreme narcissism makes him incapable of real love.

“In Slovenia he is wooing me, and not talking of other women. So I am falling for big lug and surprised now by truth of the millionaire’s ways. But it is for the Bill I hold most my nose. Ugh.”

We don’t want a president who is easily “egged on.”

““And I was surprised, because that is not the man that I know.””

Right…because studies show that 99% of married men do all their extra-marital nonconsensual pussy-grabbing right in front of their wives.

If your own version includes drooling over the opportunity for sexual assault and battery, I don’t wanna know you. There’s been a fairly universal response by guys who spend a whole lot of time in real locker rooms to indicate that Trump’s comments went way beyond the pale.

Didn’t know the mic was live, Malaria? At the end of the tape, Billy asks for his mic back.
