CNN reviewed Trump’s frequent on-air conversations with shock-jock Howard Stern. Trump’s comments were sexist, deplorable, despicable, and showed his contempt for women. He is the personification of deplorable.
Worst of all, Trump tells Stern that he has his permission to call his daughter Ivanka “a piece of ass.”
Donald Trump engaged in crude and demeaning conversations about women over a 17-year-period with radio shock-jock Howard Stern, according to a review by CNN’s KFile of hours of newly uncovered audio.
Among the topics Trump discussed: his daughter Ivanka’s physique, having sex with women on their menstrual cycles, threesomes, and checking out of a relationship with women after they turn 35.
Trump’s long track record of making misogynistic comments and engaging in lewd conversations about sex took on a new and much darker tone on Friday night, when the Washington Post published audio of Trump, caught on a hot mic in 2005, bragging about how women let him do whatever he wants to them because he’s a celebrity.
While Trump’s comments — in which he describes forcing himself upon women — stand apart from anything he has said in the past, Trump has long engaged in sexually explicit banter over the years, particularly on Stern. Trump appeared on Stern’s radio program for decades, and while many of his appearances have been reported on, KFile’s review has turned up previously unreported examples of Trump engaging in crude conversations.
On Ivanka Trump’s physique
In more than one interview with Stern, Trump took part in conversations about Ivanka Trump’s appearance, including one about the size of her breasts.
In an October 2006 interview, Stern remarks that Ivanka “looks more voluptuous than ever,” and asked if she had gotten breast implants. Trump is willing to engage in the discussion about his own daughter, telling Stern that she did not get implants.
“She’s actually always been very voluptuous,” Trump responds. “She’s tall, she’s almost 6 feet tall and she’s been, she’s an amazing beauty.”
In another interview, from September 2004, Stern asks Trump if he can call Ivanka “a piece of ass,” to which Trump responds in the affirmative.
“My daughter is beautiful, Ivanka,” says Trump.
“By the way, your daughter,” says Stern.
“She’s beautiful,” responds Trump.
“Can I say this? A piece of ass,” Stern responds.
“Yeah,” says Trump.

” ‘You have to treat ’em like sh#%,’ Trump said in the article to friend Philip Johnson, who responded, ‘You’d make a good mafioso.’

They never mentioned his christianist viewpoints, or support of laws (including funerals for aborted fetuses!)that are draconian at best.

Just read a thoughtful piece on the BBC News site about Trump’s comments. “Why This Trump Row is Different” http://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37596896
To quote the author: “Surveys (US government and UN) suggest one in five American women are the victim of rape or attempted rape and a staggering 83% of girls suffer sexual harassment at school.
Mr Trump is not guilty of either of those but his language is exactly the kind of language that encourages men and boys to feel it’s okay to abuse women.”
Exactly.

This is why it’s not hard to believe Trump may have actually engaged in forced sexual encounters w/ minors, as per the recent Jane Doe lawsuit.
Despite his long friendship w/ convicted sex-offender Epstein, & documented visits to Epstein’s island & Manhattan party-locale, I’m skeptical of the suit, due to the timing (just before election) & the obvious $ to be made (Epstein has settled $ on numerous such claimants). It could be that Trump– like Dershowitz and Clinton– were merely hobnobbing w/wealthy sleaze.
Nevertheless, the clincher for me is Trump’s comments about his own daughters when they were babies or preteens sitting on his lap, referring to their potential future as hot, making reference to whether they would have legs or breasts like mom, etc. I don’t care whether he ever acted on such clearly incestuous suggestions. I understand all too well the intention broadcast to the public: “the only taboo about incest is talking about it”. Hate to stereotype, but facts are, that sort of thing speaks loudly to certain patriarchal types in US.

I’m trying to find some LIGHT (as opposed to HEAT) regarding the very weird place our country finds itself in at this moment.
I got up this morning and happened upon a recent article in “The Nation” which I think is pretty good: “What would Alexis de Tocqueville Have Made of the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election?”
https://www.thenation.com/article/what-would-have-alexis-de-tocqueville-have-made-of-the-2016-us-presidential-election/
The author, Arthur Goldhammer, notes that in the early 1800s Tocqueville saw America’s presidential elections for what they often are. Tocqueville wrote: “A fever grips the entire nation. The election becomes the daily grist of the public papers, the subject of private conversations, the aim of all activity, the object of all thought, the sole interest of the moment.”
Of course, elections in the United States can be crazy. But Goldhammer concludes that we’re seeing something very unique now, in 2016….an explosion of long “festering” anger that has been felt by “white working class men”.
“The revolutionary social changes that have brought a black man and now, perhaps, a woman to the White House have thus conspired to make the 2016 presidential election a moment of real danger, unleashing anger of such astonishing intensity that the election of a man with evident authoritarian instincts by a relatively prosperous and flourishing democracy is not altogether unthinkable.”
I’ve seen plenty of women, too, who are supporting Trump. But I get Goldhammer’s point. I hear it almost every day, living in a rural part of the country.
I was poking around on Facebook late last night and I saw a post made by a student I had in class 10 years ago (and really liked): The young man wrote, ” WAKE UP AMERICA! Would you rather have a leader who has a poor choice of words at times but keeps us FREE n BRAVE and rebuilds our nation or do you want a lying crooked fake unsupportive politician who will turn the United States into a middle eastern environment where we just have to run day to day just to survive! She will run the United States into the ground!”
Scary. Though I have to take some comfort from one of my other. former students (who also graduated 10 years ago). I visited this young man in prison last summer. He’s serving a long sentence for a crime related to drug use.
We talked a lot about the 2016 election, of course. And, as I was leaving the prison, he asked if I could get him a copy of Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America”. That, and George Orwell’s “1984”.
Funny that two months later I find myself right back here. Amid the hurricane of blaring blog posts and 24/7 pundit banter….all Trump, all Clinton, all the time…. I’m still thinking about the ideas of a French guy who died 150+ years ago plus the conversation I had with a kid who will probably be behind bars for the next 8 years.
Makes me want to turn off the computer and go for a very long walk.

NEW YORK TIMES:
Concern at Trump Tower
Inside Trump Tower, though, Mr. Trump’s defiant public responses belied the reality of a 24-hour period in which he was alternately angry and distressed, according to two people with direct knowledge of his behavior who were granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.
Mr. Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, initially expressed skepticism upon hearing that such a recording existed, saying those comments did not sound like him. When Mr. Trump heard the tape played, he acknowledged it was him, but he believed the fallout would not be dramatic.
…
But Republicans now say that their worst fears have come to pass, as Mr. Trump has unraveled in a series of missteps after his first debate with Mrs. Clinton.
Even before Mr. Trump’s 2005 comments came to light, internal Republican polling showed him losing ground among three groups that had long been wary of his candidacy: independents, women, and voters with college degrees.
That slide is likely to accelerate now, Republicans said, potentially sending voters fleeing toward Democrats or convincing them that they should stay home on Nov. 8. Either outcome would be ruinous for Republican candidates beyond the presidential race.
“It will be difficult in the extreme for him to recover from this, but the biggest impact is likely to be its effect on all the down-ballot races,” said Fred Malek, the finance chairman of the Republican Governors Association, who called Mr. Trump’s comments “beyond disgusting.”

So… under Trumps leadership, the Republicans are now the “Infidelity Party”.
Mike Pence, Paul Ryan, (despite his recent Trump boycott, Ryan still endorses him), the religious right groups that endorsed him, and all the rest, again and again, put their own ambition, and political expediency above personal integrity, and basic core values.
