2005 sexist, lewd profanity-laden video rocks Trump campaign
Fueling the anti-Trump and “NEVER TRUMP”sentiment is a new video from 2005 of Donald Trump and Billy Bush of Access Hollywood featuring Trump using vulgar terms about kissing, groping and trying to have sex with women over a hot microphone, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it.”
The segment was on the set of Days of Our Lives as they were set to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.
Trump discusses a failed attempt to seduce a woman, whose full name is not given in the video.
“I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump is heard saying, prompting a “Whoa” from someone else.
“I did try and f— her. She was married,” Trump says.
Trump continues: “And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’”
“I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married,” Trump says. “Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.”
The audio then gets more personal as the actress Arianne Zucker is noticable, prompting Trump to say: “Your girl’s hot as s—, in the purple,” says Bush, who’s now a co-host of NBC’s Today Show.

“Whoa!” Trump says. “Whoa!”
“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her,” Trump says. “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”
“And when you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”
Late Friday night, Trump issued a short video statement saying, “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.” But he also called the revelation “a distraction from the issues we are facing today.” He said that his “foolish” words are much different than the words and actions of Bill Clinton, whom he accused of abusing women, and Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of having “bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.”
The audio is of Bush and Trump talking inside the bus, as well as audio and video once they emerge from it to begin shooting the segment.
“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am,” Trump said.
