Video of Trump sexually humiliating, forcibly kissing/grabbing woman on stage

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-jennifer-hawkins-video_us_58137b85e4b0390e69cfbbba

Revenge has been a fixture of Donald Trump’s corporate speeches for years. It almost always comes up as he offers advice to his audience on how to succeed in business, and usually includes a Rosie O’Donnell anecdote.

But at one speech in Sydney in October 2011, he decided to give the audience a live example of what revenge looks like by calling a woman he felt had slighted him onstage and sexually humiliating her in front of thousands of onlookers.

<snip>

Retaking the mic, Trump ramps up the revenge. “I was actually going to get up and tell you that Jennifer is a beautiful girl on the outside, but she’s not very bright,” he says, as the crowd laughs. “That wouldn’t have been true, but I would have said it anyway.”

Trump then elaborates on how he believed Hawkins had slighted him. “Because I said, ‘You know what, it would be great. I haven’t seen Jennifer in a couple of years. She’s so great and she did so well, and she’s a big star here, and I helped her make it ― I own the Miss Universe pageant. And I heard that she wouldn’t introduce me.’” Hawkins jumps in, “But I did!”

“No, but you didn’t,” Trump replies. “So what happens is ― and you know what? She came tonight, she came ― came, she came, she came,” he says, finally getting the prolonged laughter he was looking for. In case there was any question whether Trump was deliberately using the word, he adds, “See, so they have the same filthy minds in Australia.”

That the lazy MSM could have been focused on, but with the Clinton email news this isn't much.

had in its pocket (i.e., asked whoever had it in Australia to hold off publishing) to use to fend off an attack at some point.

What a viciously vindictive sleazebag Trump is. Disgusting isn't strong enough a word.

Jennifer Hawkins is actually defending his behavior, saying they respect each other, but not condemning him probably just means the backlash against him is going to lack sympathy for her.

“Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe that. I’ll give you an example: Jennifer Hawkins. Where’s Jennifer? Where’s she sitting? Get over here, Jennifer. First of all, how beautiful is Jennifer? This is about getting even.” He finishes up what comes next by insinuating that he'd fucked her.

An asshole. Everyone has had to deal with this type of person. Either you think it is cool and aspire to be like that (see alt-right) or you can't wait until jerks like this have nothing to do with your life (see everybody else).

Now, back to a zillion more breathless hours of irresponsible speculation on emails that were neither sent nor received by Hillary Clinton.
