Donald Trump once told 14-year-old girls, 'In a couple of years, I'll be dating you'

Donald Trump appears to have a pattern of trying to charm young girls with a line about dating him.

In a December 1992 wire brief in the Chicago Tribune, Trump is described as having spotted a youth choir singing Christmas carols at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. He asked two girls how old they were. When they said they were 14, Trump, then 46, replied, “Wow! Just think — in a couple of years, I'll be dating you."

In footage from the archives of CBS-owned “Entertainment Tonight," Trump asks the child if she is planning to ride the escalator at Trump Tower. After she says yes, Trump turns to cameras taping a Christmas special for the show and says, “I am going to be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?”

In both instances, the line appears to be somewhat in jest, though the girls' ages and recent accusations of sex assault against Trump call that into question.

1. I protest the word "once"...

Pretty sure it happened on a fairly regular basis.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. The fact that he seems to be consciously counting out the years makes it creepy

At first I thought it was just a lame attempt at humor but there's a distinct creep factor here.

[BlueStater]

3. Yeah, that's not creepy whatsoever.

[treestar]

4. yeah those girls were probably thinking how gross

rather than looking forward to ten years from now as he would think.

[niyad]

5. that thing is a sexual predator, pure and simple

[HockeyMom]

6. The girls were 10 not 14

Many hadn't even reach puberty yet.

10. Two different incidents. This article has a brief mention of the one with the 10-year-old.

That's the 3rd paragraph I quoted. Wanted to get that in to segue to the next paragraph there.

So far the media hasn't made much of Trump's comments to Howard Sterm about his reaction to Paris Hilton when first seeing her when she was 12, other than scattered stories not linked to his other comments about young girls.

20. How about reading the article first and then commenting? Two unique incidents.

7. It's way beyond a pattern emerging at this point

Failing every test for sanity for the presidency

[Retired George]

8. In jest?

I seriously doubt that!

14. Even if it *was* said lightly, that's a creepy way to talk to girls.

-too characteristic of grooming used by pervs.

And even if he isn't pervy, it's as if he defines their worth with how attracted he may be to them.

[Dorian Gray]

22. It is pervy

you don't look at children and think: I want to date them.

You can think: They're cute/pretty/whatever. But not: I want to date/fuck them.

It's creepy as hell.

[central scrutinizer]

9. By "dating" he meant

plooking

[tanyev]

11. In Trumpworld, every woman wants to be with him.

They want him so much that he's being generous by grabbing and kissing any hot woman age 17-35. Older women and not so hot women will never get that opportunity, so they might say mean things about him because they're jealous. Girls under the age of 17 will just have to be patient and count the days until they are eligible to have a chance at all that Trumpliciousness.

How in the world does such a monstrous level of narcissism get created?

[tblue37]

17. Considering he deliberately invaded the dressing room where 15-year-old teen

beauty pageant contestants were naked while changing clothes, using his ownership of the pageant to ogle them, I'd say 17 is overestimating his boundary line.

[aeroman]

12. Good News for Trump!!

That 10 year old he perved on in 92 is now his favorite age: 35 (not so good for the 14 year old who is now too old)

[IronLionZion]

13. Come one people, locker rooms are everywhere!

It's those lockers, or the locks, it just causes him to do this. All men talk like this don't you know? Grow up ladies! (literally, if you're underage you need to grow up so Donny can date you)

Donald is an irredeemable pervert. He is not a man. Make no mistake about that.

[milestogo]

15. "I would date you now, but your parents might call the police"

[forgotmylogin]

16. OMG. it's like he wants to groom them.

[Mc Mike]

18. I need dramamine and maalox whenever I see, hear, or read anything about drumpfenfuhrer. rec, nt.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Not only is it disgusting and pervy, but what on earth makes him think that

any young woman would be caught dead "dating" his fat, saggy, ugly old ass?

[lapfog_1]

21. The legal pedophile

Attracted to underage ( in some cases waaay underage girls) and mentally calculating how long until they are legal age to have sex with.

He is definitely looking at these 10 and 14 year old girls as sex partners... he just has to wait "a couple" (4 or 8) years because he knows that legally this is the requirement.

He didn't break the law here, but it is creepy as hell. It also adds a bit of legitimacy to the charges of having sex with the 13 year old (at the time) IF he had the inhibition (pesky legal limitation) removed either by drugs, alcohol, or (I would suspect) a clear understanding that he would not be caught.

24. Those girls could probably barely hold back their gag reflex, I know

I would've puked if some dirty old man said that to me at that age!
