‘Apprentice’ cast say Trump is a sexist pig

http://nypost.com/2016/10/03/apprentice-insiders-trump-rated-female-contestants-using-sex-talk/

In his years as a reality TV boss on “The Apprentice,” Donald Trump repeatedly demeaned women with sexist language, according to show insiders who said he rated female contestants by the size of their breasts and talked about which ones he’d like to have sex with.

The Associated Press interviewed more than 20 people — former crew members, editors and contestants — who described crass behavior by Trump behind the scenes of the long-running hit show, in which aspiring capitalists were given tasks to perform as they competed for jobs working for him.

The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump’s behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct on the set.

Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka.


Again with the Ivanka thing?!

Who thinks there is a possibility of sexual abuse when it comes to Ivanka? What normal man talks about his daughter like that? I keep seeing predator in all of this.
