https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/15/donald-trump-sexual-misconduct-allegations-cathy-heller"Some 20 years ago, she claims, when she met Donald Trump for the first and only time, he grabbed her, went for a kiss, and grew angry with her as she twisted away. Oh, come on, she alleges that he barked, before holding her firmly in place and planting his lips on hers. . . .
"She was at a Mothers Day brunch at Trumps Mar-a-Lago estate. Heller, her husband, her three children and her in-laws were among dozens of families seated at big round tables . . . .
Trump made the rounds greeting members of his club. When he stopped at their table, Heller recalled, and her mother-in-law introduced her, she stood and extended her hand.
He took my hand, and grabbed me, and went for the lips, she claimed.
Alarmed, she said she leaned backwards to avoid him and almost lost her balance. And he said, Oh, come on. He was strong. And he grabbed me and went for my mouth and went for my lips. She turned her head, she claims, and Trump planted a kiss on the side of her mouth. He kept me there for a little too long, Heller said. And then he just walked away.
I was angry and shaken, she continued."

(364 posts)Throughout his adult life, this seems to have been a normal for him. If he liked a woman's looks, he either pulls them and kisses them or grabs their genitals. Which is exactly what he said in his video with Billy Bush. He did get away with it so many times, that he just realized that he could get away with it all the time (well, till now).
I don't think he was that much into rape. Maybe just a few dozen rapes. Lots of affairs, and unwanted touching.

(14,337 posts)Hillary said she felt like he was stalking her on stage That's another pattern. Trump is a big man and wasn't obese as a younger man. For his one step a petite woman would have to take 5 steps just to keep up with him. She would have to RUN to get away from him if he followed her. My experience.
Yes, Hillary, he will stalk women on his hit list too. Nothing in comparison to what he has done to other women.

(12,448 posts)That is really what sexual assault is about, whether it's grabbing or actual rape. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has occasional impotence issues.

(34,582 posts)when faced with situations like this, many people shut down. They are shocked, and can't always figure out how to respond- especially when the attacker is a rich and powerful person.

(129,608 posts)having come of age in the era that worshiped that type of male - the "jet set". And since he had money (or at least the appearance of such), that just made him all the worse.

(38,449 posts)Exactly the way you said.. Otherwise, it would not have published it. The Guardian is quite reputable on stories like this.

(8,390 posts)When our daughters were little, they were allowed to kiss me on the lips. No one else is permitted to do so. My father-in-law tries, but I turn my head so he can kiss my cheek.
The thought of Trump the Creep doing this as though he doesn't know any better is disgusting.
