no he isnt he is describing what you can do if you are a celebrity, but thanks for proving my point.

Dude. He's describing what he does as a celebrity.

Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. 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. You can do anything.

Bush: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

He is describing some of what he does as a celebrity in general terms and some of what you can do do. None of that is for a specific incident.

Furthermore if you are going to call what he describes sexual assault then all men who lean in on a women and start kissing them are committing sexual assault. Any guy who tries to get his hand up under a womans shirt is committing sexual assault.

You forgot the part of "they let you do it". Thats not sexual assault.

This is sad. You're lost buddy.

If I sucker punch you does it mean you let me do it?

How on earth are those two things the same? You are comparing a violent act which a pass at a woman. You are basically making any person making a pass at a woman a sexual offender unless they ask if they can kiss her. Again proving my point

You don't spend much time around women do you. How is grabbing a woman "making a pass"? I feel like I'm talking to wannabe Don Draper right now.

It is a pass if she don't mind (ex. because you are a celebrity and she is enough into you) it's sexual assault if she do mind and don't want you to do it and you keep doing it. You never kissed a women without asking her? You never snuck your arm up her shirt while making out with her? You always ask before you have sex if you can penetrate?

The logic you seem to have bought into is completely out of bounds with reality. These things happens everyday and aren't sexual assault, but because Trump does it suddenly it is. What an amazing logic.

I would love to see you prosecute someone for saying those things with nothing more than that tape recording.

And keep your ad hominem to reddit. This is not a discussion about me but about something he said or whether it constitutes sexual assault which it obviously do not.

Keep going man, this is great. How would you feel if Don Trump kissed you and grabbed your dick without asking?

That depends on whether I was into celebrities doing that to me to be with them which quite a lot of women are.

He isn't admitting anything. You just think that of him because you already dont like him, but he isn't doing anything some of the people you admire probably haven't done either.

And again if the women don't mind they don't mind, just like some of them don't mind other rich men grabbing them as long as they can get to live the lifestyle.

The only one with a history of this as far as I can see was Clinton who pushed a cigar up an interns vagina.

In your "logical" universe this was assault too and today you could probably get away with adding white male privilege.

So either show some proof of him being a sexual assaulter or there is nothing not even theoretically that makes that assault.

Add in against their will and all that changes but thats not what you have.
