Trying to defend himself Trump said she's lying, "Come on, he said, She wouldn't be my first choice, just look at her".

What a swine. "I wouldn't have groped her because she's not attractive enough." Which, of course, implies that he would grope more attractive women. In any event, the woman on the plane is now 72, which is not to say older women are ugly, but of course they would be in Trump's book.

From the time period in question, to prove she had been a very cute young thing. Because they knew this shit would come up. So sad.

I feel so much for these women who are bravely coming forward. They know that they are going to be ripped to shreds, that their lives will be changed forever, and that there will be no going back to "normal".

The fact that a woman, ANY woman, should have to justify her looks for ANYTHING is absurd. But you are absolutely correct when you say that they "knew this shit would come up".

Or you could just google "Trump women accusers." I don't think you'll find a comprehensive list here because there are more and more women every day.

Her name is Jessica Leeds. I certainly want her to be recognized as a real person, and not just some political pawn.

Jessica Leeds deserves to be heard and uplifted.

I would have typed her name initially but in my rush to post, and typing on my cheap phone, I neglected to name her.

And she's much, much more than just a woman on a plane.

I was just so aghast, and horrified to hear those words come out of Trump's mouth, I got in a rush.

Donald Trump signifies much of what is wrong with this country.

It's a very common defense from accused rapists: "Why would I rape HER. Look at her!"

Yesterday all of the Trumpettes stated that his "look at her" was not a reference to appearance. They insisted, each and every one, that his "look at her - look at her words" was contextual, and suggested that we look at their motives.

Is he implying that they were all lying?

Clearly he misspoke.

In Trump's unnatural mind this is clearly the worst thing that could be said of any woman.

when he made the same comment (more subtly)?

He is so utterly unfit, undisciplined, and unqualified to be a candidate much less president.

Like the "asinine" notes he wrote for "The Apprentice" (per crew members), they would probably be like, "Merkel is a three. Why did Germans elect her?"

That he sexually assaults women but with discriminating tastes.
It's also an admission that he judges women only on looks.
He is pig. Always was. Always will be.

Actually, Little Donald is in charge of the entire bloated slug commonly known as "The Donald." So when people call him a "prick," they don't know how close they are to the truth.
