Physically Attacked by Donald Trump – A PEOPLE Writer’s Own Harrowing Story

Source: People Magazine

We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat.
Now, I’m a tall, strapping girl who grew up wrestling two giant brothers. I even once sparred with Mike Tyson. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger—a looming figure—and he was fast, taking me by surprise, and throwing me off balance.
I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.

Although Cosby is older, Trump's vast involvement in the corporate world including real estate, hotels/casinos, models/pageants, and also television - including internationally - gave him far more opportunity to kiss and grab and grope his way through life.

Are you aware that Cosby is black and despite his prolific appearances over the decades, he by no means had the kind of access to the entertainment world that Trump has had?

Trump OWNED the rights to beauty pageants as well as owning hotels, casinos, golf courses and other franchises where "beautiful people" patronized - and his "playgrounds" were run from the largest city in the U.S.

Or do you somehow believe that black entertainers have equal access to the same things that white ones do? If so, naivete is the order of your day.

YET.

This is a man who has himself on a Playboy magazine with that cover hanging up in his fucking office.



This was a man who hung out at Studio 54 and was there at the opening -

PARTY TIME

The Opening Night of Studio 54 Was Exactly The Hedonistic Riot You’d Expect
The crowds clamored to get in. An 11-year-old Brooke Shields was there. There were drugs and orgiastic sex. Bianca on the white horse came later.


07.12.15 12:01 AM ET

Nikki Haskell, an entrepreneur, raised in Beverly Hills, was the first to arrive at the April 26, 1977 opening of Studio 54, which remains the most mythologized opening party ever. Haskell, who had brought the then unknown Donald Trump and his new-ish wife, Ivana, banged on the door. Nada. A quarter of an hour inched by. The crowd built.

<...>

Leach looked down on the joyous human froth, the cocaine spoon traveling to the nose of the Man in the Moon. “We thought we were just covering the opening of an ordinary nightclub,” the soon-to-be-face of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous told me. “All of us knew that night that we weren’t at the opening of a discotheque but the opening of something historical, that was going to change the shape of the way people lived or played ... There were no rules. Sodom and Gomorrah met the High Street that night.”

By midnight it was madness outside. Turley remembers his group being behind three or four layers, that there were 30 or 40 layers behind him, and that one of his people, a doctor, was being generous with a giant bottle of Quaaludes. “They took about 15 or 20 minutes to kick in,” he said. “About 30 people standing around us took them, and then everybody started having this mad sexual orgy. All the men had their dicks out ... the women were showing their tits ... everybody was feeling everybody else ...”

18. She explains that she now understands this was his modus operandi, she was not at fault

"Now he’s running for president of our country. The other day, I listened to him talk about how he treats women on the Access Hollywood tape. I felt a strong mix of emotions, but shock wasn’t one of them.

I was relieved. I finally understood for sure that I was not to blame for his inappropriate behavior. I had not been singled out. As he explained to Billy Bush, it was his usual modus operandi with women. I felt deep regret for not speaking out at the time. What if he had done worse to other female reporters at the magazine since then because I hadn’t warned them?"



He is going to have to hire a lot more lawyers if he thinks he can sue every publication that prints an expose about his attacks
