https://news.yahoo.com/courtney-friel-donald-trump-kiss-121257478.htmlFormer Fox News reporter Courtney Friel says that Donald Trump propositioned her before he was elected president while both were married, and that the come-on compromised her reporting on his presidential campaign.
Friel wrote in her new memoir Tonight At 10: Kicking Booze and Breaking News that Trump called her the hottest one at Fox News, according to the New York Daily News, which reported it viewed an excerpt.
Trump, in a phone call, complimented Friels work and asked about career goals before getting more personal, she wrote. Out of nowhere, he said: You should come up to my office sometime, so we can kiss.

(6,448 posts)What I'm trying to say is that he relies heavily on his perceived wealth and power. That's what made Harvey Weinstein such a "hunk". His feeling is that all women are as greedy as his wives have been. They don't care about having a nice, intelligent guy who would be a good (faithful) husband and father, when they can have Trump.
He still thinks of women washing dishes for crissakes.

(42,770 posts)when no one was watching, so he thought. It actually appeared to me that he was listening to her and treating her like what she was saying was important. Perhaps it was just my imagination.
It is all so overwhelming. All the balls he has up in the air. It's like we need a Dem in charge of tracking lawsuits, taxes, debt, sexcapades, lying, regulation reversal, bribery, etc. etc.
I have often wondered, given his propensity for grabbing and harrassing women, did he suddenly stop in Jan 2017? Bet he's got women on side at Mara Lago.

(42,770 posts)he was prez". Need to nail him on what he's done since. Can't believe he just miraculously stopped. He thought since he was a powerful business man (good self-promoter anyway), he could do it. But what about a step up...the pResident?

(CNN)A Manhattan judge has cleared the way for President Donald Trump to be deposed in a defamation lawsuit filed by a former "Apprentice" contestant who has accused Trump of sexual assault.
Trump's legal team had argued that a stay is necessary "given the novel and important Constitutional issues involved," the "special considerations due" their previous requests to dismiss the case, and to prevent "irreparable harm."
