In 1999, Trump Said He Couldn’t Be President Because of the Women He’d Sleep With
Here we go again!
We love (love!) digging through old articles to find you primo Donald Trump content, and boy, this time we sure did it big.
Today, audio from 2005 leaked that showed Donald Trump casually talking about his attempt to seduce a married woman and how easy it is to “grab [women] by the p*ssy” when you’re a famous guy. This has followed months and months of everyone from Megyn Kelly to Hillary Clinton to former Miss Universe Alicia Machado speaking out about how badly Trump treats women, but it turns out that he outed himself as a misogynist long ago.
In 1999, according to this article in the New York Post, he told Chris Matthews he could never run for President because of his history with women. Here is what he said:
People want me to [run for president] all the time … I don’t like it. Can you imagine how controversial I’d be? You think about [Bill Clinton] and the women. How about me with the women? Can you imagine?
When Matthews joked about Monica Lewinsky by saying, “You might be close, but there’s no cigar,” Trump said, “They might like my women better, too.”
That certainly isn’t the first time he defended the former President for his philandering. He’s actually done it a bunch of times. Tonight, of course, he went after Bill Clinton for being skeevy while defending himself — not once, but twice — but it’s all politics, right?
Anyway, to paraphrase Trump, can you imagine his presidency? With the women? Can you imagine?
