Trump says sexual assault accusers are too ugly for him

https://thinkprogress.org/trump-says-sexual-assault-accusers-are-too-ugly-for-him-d3be41c0a565#.klxyy0937

On Wednesday evening, numerous women stepped forward to accuse Donald Trump of sexual assault. As ThinkProgress previously documented, the allegations track closely with Trump’s description of how he treats women in a secretly recorded 2005 video released last Friday.

“You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful… I just start kissing them,” Trump said in the video. “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.” (The most infamous line from the video comes a bit later, when Trump says, “Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”)

During a speech in Florida on Thursday, Trump denied the allegations and smeared his accusers. Part of his defense involved suggesting the women aren’t sufficiently attractive for him to sexually assault by imploring listeners to “take a look” at them.

“These events never, ever happened, and the people that said them, meekly, fully understand,” Trump said. “You take a look at these people, you study these people, and you’ll understand also.”

He walked right into that one. And also he's implying he wouldn't sexually assault her, but if she was hot he totally would?

You ALWAYS know just what to say to win a girl's heart, don't you?

Geez.

Listen, schmucko, the only thing that I can see that would attract a halfway-sane woman to you is that big bulge in your pants -- the one in the vicinity of your wallet.

The man is incapable of compassion for others.

13. Nobody is too ugly for him. He is hideous inside and out.

How does a fat, old, bloated, orange-colored, balding, anus-mouthed pig like him think that he can possibly attract a woman who is more than a 1 or a 2. (I hate the whole rating system, but this is just for the sake of argument). He's a revolting excuse of a human being.

never seems to enter the minds of these Trump-like braggarts. You see it on the Internets all the time. Guys totally trashing, say, a female star for her looks. And you wonder, what is this bunch of totally cute guys doing home talking smack about a woman, a star, who is by definition already well above average in the looks department. Shouldn't they be out on a date with some totally hot woman who is up to their standards in the looks department. Then you remember...oh. It's sad, really.

17. The 74 year old accuser brought a picturee of herself to her CNN

Interview because she knew trump would call her 'to ugly to molest'. She is still a striking woman, but trump would and has insulted these accusers as being too ugly for him to notice. Yeah, right.
