AP: How Trump's 'Apprentice' moved from capitalism to sexism

Source: AP

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.

...and for whatever reason it won't matter to his supporters. Hell they will praise him for his "good eye" for rear ends.

Sheesh. This guy is beyond a pig.

10. I'm convinced that the reason he considers Ivanka the epitome of female beauty

is because of her strong resemblance to a young Donald J. Trump. His other daughter doesn't look much like him and it seems like he can barely remember her name.

11. There are already published pictures of him with Ivanka in suggestive poses.

There are even some of Ivanka as a teenager, and Donald. Ivanka isn't clothed that much, sitting on his lap, kissing him.

One picture they are lounging on a bed.

Kinda... creepy.

Look at this one where he is awkwardly embracing wife Melania, but seems to always hug his daughter Ivanka closely. His hands seemingly always go to Ivanka's butt. Uggh.

"There would be about 10 or 12 cameras rolling and getting that footage, which is why everybody was like, this guy just doesn't care."

Since using his own words against him is the best offense, I hope the Clinton campaign is scouring every nook and cranny to find that footage.

On another note, the "she's like Ivanka" creep factor is out of control. DAMN.

Crew people are the most secretive people in the world about their job. I'm sure there is much, much, more out there. But the crew are professionals, they won't tell. So let me say it for them. LOL

8. Of course it did. Trumpty knows nothing about the former, and is a downright expert on the latter

He seems to have a very third-world idea of capitalism: bribe politicians and judges, launder money whenever possible, and stiff everyone you can (especially tax authorities). It's a very seedy kind of crony capitalism, really.

does, indeed, have a little tiny penis.

You know he would react badly to that.
