Listen, I’m going to be honest with you: I am so over this Trump shit and all the other world garbage 2016 keeps throwing at us, I just don’t really even know how to report on this anymore. But here we are, once again talking about how a man running for president of the United States is an absolute piece of garbage.
We all already knew Trump was a sexiest, misogynistic piece of shit, but this week it was taken to a whole new level when footage leaked from him legitimately talking about assaulting women with Billy Bush.
In the 2005 video, LEGITIMATE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE Donald Trump, brags to celebrity gossip newsman, Billy Bush, about how hard he hit on Billy’s married co-host, Nancy O’Dell. He says:
I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and fuck her. She was married…and I moved on her very heavily in fact.
So, ok, Trump is talking about how hard he tried to fuck a married woman. Totally gross, and, knowing Trump, he probably came on borderline rapist strong. However, nothing about this is anymore gross or shocking than half the other shit he’s sad about women.
No, what’s really fucked up is when he brags to Billy about how sometimes he forcibly kisses ‘beautiful’ women because:
when you’re a star they let you do it. Whatever you want. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.
Yep, the man incredibly close to be the potential president of the US bragged about being able to do whatever he wants to women, including grabbing them by their genitals, because he’s famous and can do whatever he wants.
While Billy gave a pretty sincere apology for even being part of the conversation, this was Trump’s apology:
This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course–not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.
Even if I for some insane reason LIKED Trump, I’d still think that was the most garbage, insincere apology of all fucking time. Instead of just being like: Yeah, I said some really terrible and disgusting things back then and I feel really bad about it, I’m sorry, he first brushes the horrific and repulsive things he said as, you know, just boys being boys in the locker room (because shit like that isn’t making rape culture an issue), THEN he pulls a ‘Well Hillary’s husband has said worse’, which is literally BEYOND the fucking point, because Bill Clinton isn’t running for president. Bill Clinton isn’t shit to anyone anymore, probably not even Hillary, so bringing his shit into this doesn’t make you look better, because at least Bill wasn’t stupid enough to get filmed saying that shit. AND THEN, finally, he gives the most half-hearted apology I’ve ever heard.
If Donald Trump gets elected president we might as well legalize rape and slavery and I’m going to have to cancel my trip to Disneyworld because I’m not going to a country that supports this fuckery.
Now please don’t get me wrong, I’m not a super democratic Hillary fan either. I actually weep for America that my beloved Bernie Sanders isn’t going to be president, because he would have CRUSHED it, but at the end of the day, Hillary DOES have a fuck ton of experience and is far more level headed and composed in her shit. She isn’t perfect, but she’s also not Satan, so, you know.
And listen, I also know that tons of presidents and presidential hopefuls in the past have done and said shitty things, and a lot of people seem to be like: Well, at least Donald Trump owns his shittiness and doesn’t hide who he is, which is true, however, THAT DOESN’T MAKE IT OK! If someone is a proud and open pedophile, that doesn’t make them a better person than the pedophile who hides their love of kids! If anything, it just makes them more of a sociopath because they don’t seem to think there is anything fucking wrong with their behaviour!
I’m kind of just hoping John Oliver talks about this on Sunday night, because my mind is truly blown how the Republicans haven’t just taken Trump out themselves, but at least John Oliver will make the whole thing seem hilarious for 10 seconds so I can forget how genuinely horrified I am.
Literally me after reading about shit in America this year (actually, Canada is pissing me off too…)…ok, literally me reading about everything in the fucking world this year:
