Two women told us Donald Trump had touched them inappropriately, one on a plane, the other outside an elevator in Trump Tower

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.
No, he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, I have not.
At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. I wanted to punch the screen, she said in an interview in her apartment.
More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

(11,541 posts)Lies about it, saying he never did these things, that it's just the crooked (projection) X and X who falsely attack him because he is the only one who can fix everyone's problems the first day he will become Caligula-in-Chief.
And his base of deplorables eat his BS up.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he kissed me directly on the mouth.
It didnt feel like an accident, she said. It felt like a violation.

(5,267 posts)"In a phone interview on Tuesday night, a highly agitated Mr. Trump denied every one of the womens claims.
None of this ever took place, said Mr. Trump, who began shouting at The Times reporter who was questioning him. He said that The Times was making up the allegations to hurt him and that he would sue the news organization if it reported them.
You are a disgusting human being, he told the reporter as she questioned him about the womens claims"

2) He returns to the place of employment (!!! HOLY FUCK!!!) of Ms. Crooks and pressures her into giving him her phone number, for a "modeling agency"!
This is a very, very bad and dangerous person.
My God, it's worse than we even suspected.

(1,180 posts)Why would anyone believe his denials now.
Plus his campaign said to retaliate, they're going to bring up more trash on Pres. Bill Clinton. They just don't get it, that these allegations are being brought forth by the media and independent third parties. The Clinton/Kaine campaign have noting to do with releasing these claims. So why does the Trump campaign think this strategy will work?

(14,337 posts)We were both in our 20's when he followed me down that Manhattan street. I was one of the lucky ones to escape him.
It is a pattern of behavior. It is who he was a young man too. I was watching an interview of a woman who said he gave her a "Private Tour" in the 90's. Hearing those words sent chills through my spine because he said those exact same words to me some 20 years earlier. OMG. He didn't change his line after all those years?
I feel so, so sorry for all these women. As my Nana used to say, "There but for the Grace of God, Go I". It makes me want to cry.

(289 posts)In the video portion of the story, Ms. Leeds explains that a stewardess invited her to sit in first class. I imagine the stewardess was recruited by Mr. Trump to summon Ms. Leeds to sit beside him. Ms. Leeds was probably able to leave the seat next to him after he touched her because she had the original seat to go back to.
