A new video captures newlywed Donald Trump bragging about his attempts to seduce a married woman and boasting about how being a ‘star’ means he can get away with ‘anything’ when trying to bed a woman.
The recording, obtained by the Washington Post, was made on an Access Hollywood set in 2005 and captures Trump, newly married to Melania, discussing women with host Billy Bush.
The shocking outburst captures Trump detailing his pursuit of an unidentified married woman.
‘I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married’, he says in the recording published on Friday.
‘And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture”.’
‘I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,’ he continues.
‘Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything. She’s totallychanged her look.’
At times another man’s voice – presumably Bush’s can be heard on the recording.
Bush then worked for Access Hollywood and now works on the Today show. The pair were on the set of the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Trump was about to record a segment on the show andBush was there to interview him about it.
The pair were captured chatting, presumably unaware their mics were recording the exchange.
The Republican nominee is later heard bragging about how his celebrity status allows him to do ‘anything’ to women.
‘You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait,’ he boasts.
‘And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p—y. You can do anything.’
The Presidential candidate, who has consistently come under fire for derogatory comments about women during his campaign, did not deny the exchange had taken place and put it down to ‘locker room banter’.
‘This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course – not even close,’ he said in a statement. ‘I apologize if anyone was offended.’
Shortly after the recording emerged, Hillary Clinton tweeted: ‘This is horrific. We cannot allow this man to become president.’
Bush swiftly deleted his Twitter account on Friday in the wake of the revelation.
