Funny none of those girls made claims against them. No, he raped me or walked in on us.

Now lets hear about Trump near women.

Well, I'll tell you the funniest is that before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. You know, I'm inspecting because I want to make sure that everything is good. [...] You know, the dresses. 'Is everyone okay?' You know, they're standing there with no clothes. 'Is everybody okay?' And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that. But no, I've been very good. -Trump

One incident reportedly occurred in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant. Mariah Billado, the former Miss Vermont Teen USA, recalled, "I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, 'Oh my god, there's a man in here'." She then remembered Trump saying, "Don't worry, ladies, I've seen it all before." Four other women also alleged that Trump entered the dressing room; eleven contestants that Buzzfeed reached said they did not recall him in the dressing room.

    That doesn't mean he wasn't there.

    I'm CERTAIN I heard some claims from them but I can't say it was against Jimmy.

    Also, girls jumping on trampolines was a presumably consensual trade of services for currency so it's only problematic to liberals and when the phrase "under capitalism" becomes involved

    I mean libs suck but exploitation of women also sucks. In this case probably yeah these were likely women with wider careers and other options who largely chose to do this of their own free will.

    But only about as much as I do my job "of my own free will"

    Needing to eat and have a home somewhat imbalances the power dynamic between you and your boss
