Unlike the American mainstream media, the Daily Mail from the UK gives us the full transcript of comments made by Trump on the “leaked” tape from 2005:
TRANSCRIPT OF THE RECORDING FEATURING DONALD TRUMP’S LATEST CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS
Trump: ‘You know and I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it.
‘I did try and f*** her, she was married.’
Other voice: ‘That’s huge news!’
Trump: ‘No, no, Nancy. No this was – 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 furnitureâ€.
‘I took her out for furniture. I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there, and she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything.
‘She’s totally changed her look.’
Billy Bush: ‘Sheesh, your girl’s hot as s***. In the purple.’
Multiple voices: ‘Whoa! Yes! Whoa!’
Bush: ‘Yes, the Donald has scored. Whoa, my man!’
Trump: ‘Look at you, you are a p***y. OK, you and I will walk down.’
Trump (speaking about actor Arianne Zucker): ‘Maybe it’s a different one.’
Bush: ‘It better not be the publicist. No, it’s her.’
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 them by the p***y. You can do anything.’
Bush: ‘Yeah those legs. All I can see is the legs.’
Trump: ‘Oh, it looks good.’
Bush: ‘Come on, shorty.’
Trump: ‘Oh nice legs, huh?’
Bush: ‘Oof, get out of the way honey. Oh, that’s the good legs. Go ahead.’
Trump (getting off the bus): ‘It’s always good if you don’t fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?’
Bush (after Trump knocks on the window for someone to open the door): ‘Down below. Pull the handle.’
Trump (to Zucker): ‘Hello, how are you, hi.’
Zucker: ‘Hi Mr Trump. How are you?’
Trump: ‘Nice seeing you. Terrific, terrific. You know Billy Bush?’
Bush: ‘Hello, nice to see you. How you doing, Arianne?’
Zucker: ‘I’m doing very well thank you. [To Trump] Are you ready to be a soap star?’
Trump: ‘We’re ready, let’s go. Make me a soap star.’
Bush: ‘How about a little hug for the Donald? He just got off the bus.’
Zucker: ‘Would you like a little hug, darling?’
Trump: ‘Absolutely. Melania said this was OK.’
Bush: ‘How about a little hug for the Bushy? I just got off the bus. Here we go, excellent. Well you’ve got a nice co-star here.’
Trump: ‘Good, after you. Come on Billy, don’t be shy.’
Bush: ‘As soon as a beautiful woman shows up he just, he takes off. This always happens.’
Zucker (waving to Bush): ‘I’m sorry, come here.’
Bush: ‘Let the little guy in here, come on.’
Zucker: ‘Yeah let the little guy in. How you feel now? Better? I should actually be in the middle.’
Bush: ‘It’s hard to walk next to a guy like this. Yeah, you get in the middle. There we go.’
Trump: ‘Good, that’s much better.’
Zucker: ‘This is much better. This is…’
Bush: ‘Now if you had to choose honestly between one of us. Me or the Donald?’
Trump: ‘I don’t know that’s tough competition.’
Zucker: ‘That’s some pressure right there.’
Bush: ‘Seriously, you had to take one of us as a date.’
Zucker: ‘I have to take the Fifth on that one… I’ll take both.’
Trump (near the Day of Our Lives studio): ‘Which way?’
Zucker: ‘Make a right. Here we go.’
Bush: ‘Here he goes. I’m gonna leave you here. Give me my microphone. ‘
Trump: ‘OK. OK. Oh, you’re finished?’
Bush: ‘You’re my man. Yeah.’
Trump: ‘Oh, good.’
Bush: ‘I’m gonna go do our show.’
Let us look at this crucial moment:
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 them by the p***y. You can do anything.’
Bush: ‘Yeah those legs. All I can see is the legs.’
Trump: ‘Oh, it looks good.’
The statement “grab them by the p**y” refers to an emotional approach, as the term is used in advertising and marketing. “Grab them” means to attract an audience with a strong appeal. In this case, he is referring to the kiss, which he implies will “like a magnet” arouse the other party and make them interested.
In other words, this entire “scandal” is a fabrication. Trump was not talking about any physical grabbing, but how he planned to seduce a woman, after mentioning that he had failed to win her before. His plan of approach? To boldly kiss her.
If the mainstream media had any credibility left, it is now departed.
