Trump Tells Supporters At Rally That #MeToo Keeps Him From Saying What He Wants
“Under the rules of Me Too, I’m not allowed to use that expression,” the president said in Erie, Pennsylvania.
President Donald Trump took aim at the Me Too movement once again on Wednesday night, saying he wasn’t allowed to utter certain phrases because they were no longer politically correct.
Trump, speaking at a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, was reflecting on his election nearly two years ago and spoke about winning Pennsylvania in the 2016 presidential race. He said that for many years Republicans had been unable to capture those electoral college votes, and then he said there was an expression he wanted to use to describe the state, but he had to censor himself because the media was present.
“Every Republican thinks they are going to win Pennsylvania, but I got it. I’d use an expression, you know there’s an expression, but under the rules of Me Too I’m not allowed to use that expression anymore, I can’t do it,” Trump said. “It’s the ‘person’ that got away.”
The phrase the president was likely referencing was the Frank Sinatra song title, “The Gal That Got Away,” his cover of “The Man That Got Away” from the 1954 film “A Star Is Born.”
When someone in the audience shouted for the president to use the words anyway, Trump said: “I would do it except for these people up there,” pointing to the media. “There is an expression, but we’ll change the expression. Pennsylvania was always the ‘person’ that got away.”

“Grab em’ by the pussy?”
“Bleeding from her whatever?”
“Lock her up?”
… I never thought of "The Girl/Man That Got Away" as referring to a potential rape victim... I thought it was a normal romantic song. However, I can see how The Donald would see the song from his point of view.
