In a preview for an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper set to air Monday night, Melania Trump said that she believes former "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush egged on her husband to make predatory comments about women in a leaked video from a 2005 taping.
Cooper asked Trump what she thought the first time she heard the now-infamous tape, and she said that she let her husband know that his comments were not okay with her. "I said to my husband that, you know, the language was inappropriate. It's not acceptable," she said. "And I was surprised, because that is not the man that I know."
She went on, though, to question whether Donald Trump knew he was being recorded and whether Bush goaded him into what she characterized as "boy talk."
"So you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on, it was only a mic," she said. "And I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on, because they were kind of boy talk, and he was egged on by the host to say dirty and bad stuff."

(30,481 posts)A comment about the size of his hands will send him on a twitter rage for weeks. It's pretty simple to lead the guy around by his nose. Not what happened here but not that far out of reality.

(15,805 posts)Trump was a 60 year old man when he was shooting his mouth off in that bus. He'd made a career of playing to cameras and mics as a celebrity TV star. He claimed to be the world's bestest talker with a reputation as a skilled global businessman. And he supposedly let's himself get played like a fish on a hook by the likes of a second rate sleazeball like Billy Bush?
Trump is a sexist pig. Period.
