Trouble in Trump's World ... Again

Reaction to Trump's p**** comment

Trouble in Trump's World ... Again
nymag.com

In a 2005 audio recording, Donald Trump was recorded making sexual comments about women with Billy Bush who was the host of Access Hollywood at that time. When talking about an unnamed woman, Trump made multiple remarks including "I did try and f*** her" and "I moved on her very heavily: and "I moved on her like a b****, but I couldn't get there. And she was married."

The comment that really caught people's attention was when Trump said, "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful, I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet ... And when you're a star they let you do it, you can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy."

When asked about these remarks, Trump brushed off these "locker room banter" comments. Donald Trump posted a 90-second apology video where he said:

"I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.

I have traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I've spent time with grieving mothers who've lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country and I've been humbled by the faith they've placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.

Let's be honest, we're living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we're facing today.

We are losing our jobs, we are less safe than we were eight years ago and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground. I've said some foolish things, but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday."

This apology, as agreed by many news sources, sounds "forced and insincere."

In a very heated argument on CNN, Ana Navarro, a Republican commentator, and Scottie Nell Hughes, a CNN panelist argued about Trump's comments and his recent apology. Criticizing Republicans, Navarro remarked, "I think that every single Republican is going to have to answer the question, 'What did you do on the day you saw the tape of this man (Trump) boasting about grabbing a woman's pussy?"

After hearing this statement, Scottie Hughes in apparent anger said, "Will you please stop saying that word? My daughter is listening." This is when Navarro made her most powerful statement of the short clip by saying, "Don't tell me you're offended when I say 'pussy,' but you're not offended when Donald Trump says it!"

It's like the blind leading the blind.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
