“We Were All Naked” When Donald Trump Walked Through Beauty Queen Dressing Room
Trump: “I sort of get away with things like that.”

posted on Oct. 9, 2016, at 10:44 a.m.

A former Miss New Hampshire told BuzzFeed News last spring that Donald Trump strolled through the dressing rooms backstage at the 2000 Miss USA pageant and stared at the naked contestants.

In May, his campaign issued a blanket denial, calling Bridget Sullivan’s story and those of several other beauty queens “totally false.”
But Sullivan’s story has now received support from an unexpected source: Trump himself. The presidential candidate, who owned the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants until last year, told Howard Stern in 2005 that he made a habit of busting into the dressing rooms even when the contestants were not dressed.

“I’ll tell you the funniest is that I’ll go backstage before a show and everyone’s getting dressed,” Trump told Stern in recordings released Saturday by CNN. “No men are anywhere, and I’m allowed to go in, because I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it…. ‘Is everyone OK’? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”

As with many of Trump’s stories — about his business success, his sexual prowess, and now his proclivity for sexual assault — it can be hard to disentangle reality from Trump’s exaggerations and braggadocio. But Sullivan’s words suggest that Trump’s behavior toward the pageant women is more than just talk.

1. I have a feeling the October surprise is going to be a daily leak of awful things Trump has said.

I know three women who are going to vote for him. WTF?

5. Some of these awful things were already out, it's just that with Trump's own

words now, people are finally listening. Trump's own words in audio/video gives credence to what was known already.

2. So he's bragging about employer sexual harrassment

Lawsuit in 3..2...1......

7. Yep! Absolutely!

3. "...loves hanging around at beauty pageants..." - STILL Hillary's best line from debate #1!

The icing on the cake was that he was too stupid to realize that she was calling him a pervert!

6. Ah yes! She said it that way! So perfect!

4. One of the most important effects of the bus audio tape

is that it lends credibility to stories like Ms. Sullivan's. It's one thing to hear from an offended party that her privacy has been violated, especially in this culture. It's entirely different when we hear the offender bragging about even worse behavior in his own voice. It's not a comfortable fact about much of male America's willingness to believe an abused woman, but from accusations that rape victims asked for it by drinking or wearing provocative clothes all the way to he-stared-at-us-when-we-were-naked accusations, the reaction is too often doubt or disbelief. So maybe the NYT did us a bigger favor than we realize. Women's voices--at least this woman's voice--are now all too believable.
