In typical Trump fashion, Trump bragged about owning the Miss USA pageant. This to him meant that he could invade the privacy of the women and barge in on them naked. According to sources close to the Miss USA pageant, Trump has made several aggressive and unwarranted sexual advances on pageant contestants.
As RawStory reported:
Ill tell you the funniest is that Ill go backstage before a show and everyones getting dressed, Trump tells Howard Stern. The recordings were released by CNN on Saturday.
Trump continues, No men are anywhere, and Im allowed to go in, because Im the owner of the pageant and therefore Im inspecting it
. Is everyone OK? You know, theyre standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.
His words to Stern echo similar statements that were recorded on the 2005 tapes, in which Trump suggests that he can do whatever he wants with women because of his status.
If you owned a fitness club as a man, would that give you the ability to inspect the womans locker room while the establishment is open? Would you be able to walk in on the naked women and continue your inspection with impunity? No. Simply no you would not be permitted to act in this manner, and if you did you would be potentially facing criminal charges. In Trumps mind, if he owns the venue and the pageant, this means that he then owns the women competing in his pageant. Of all places he goes on Howard Stern to brag about his illegal actions. As if he needed validation from someone else in his exclusive boys club.
Hes made similar statements over the course of his campaign, including in an interview in Nevada just last week during which the former reality TV star said, Theres nobody that has more respect for women than I do.
Trump will be so good for women, just let him explain in his own words: And when youre a star they let you do it. You can do anything
Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything.
