Absolutely unbelievable anyone will vote for him. A Groper? He's a groper???!?!?? I know the kind of guy who would do something like this and he is absolutely the worst. That being said, I'm glad that this poor woman had the courage to come forward.

Was Trump going through a phase or something?

Btw, I'm not questioning his clearly ongoing attitude toward women as objects.... but am just curious if his groping behavior itself had a peak period in 2005-2006 and then tapered off.... Or have there been more recent victims coming forward, too? (i admit I haven't followed this too closely.)

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.

“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.

“I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’”

Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.

“Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me disgusted.”

I'd get excited if a man grabs my butt but in this case, no can't get excited about Trump grabbing my butt. In fact if Trump ever grabbed my butt, I'd half to wash six times and get vaccinated for unknown diseases
