Donald Trump caught on tape bragging about groping Melania Trump in public
Donald Trump has been caught on tape bragging about sexually lewd behavior yet again. Nearly a year after a tape surfaced depicting Trump bragging in private that he had sexually assaulted multiple women, another tape has surfaced depicting Trump bragging about having publicly groped his wife Melania. Moreover, Trump wasn’t even speaking in private when he made the remarks.
Before entering politics, Trump made several appearances on the Howard Stern show. Although these episodes were broadcast on live radio at the time, this was back in 1999, before these kinds of controversial moments would have been recorded by audiences and uploaded to YouTube. Stern has long refused to release any of the Trump tapes, but some anonymous individual has now leaked them. Among the numerous controversial and inappropriate things Trump said during these conversations was a lewd admission about how he treats his wife.
According to Newsweek, which obtained the tapes and broke the story, the following exchange took place between Howard Stern and Donald Trump. Stern asked “Have you ever felt her up in public?” Trump replied “Yeah.” (link). This kind of thing might have been ignored or written off as a joke if it weren’t within the context of Trump’s own previous (criminal) admissions about groping women when he first met them. Trump has also purposely walked in on underage models at his beauty pageants while they were getting dressed.
In this same batch of tapes, Donald Trump made an embarrassing admission regarding his daughter Ivanka: “I think my daughter looks down on me.” He also stated that he planned to leave Trump University to his kids as an inheritance – which is notable in light of Trump University since having been shut down by the authorities when it was exposed as a fraud. Trump had to pay millions of dollars to the victims in a settlement.
