THE DONALD UNDONE: Here’s The Funniest Reactions To The Leaked Trump Tapes & #Pussygate
Unless you inhabit a cave deep in the wilderness, you would have heard of the leaked Donald Trump tapes over the weekend. Released by The Washington Post, the audio clip features Trump saying absolutely despicable things about women – including assertions of sexual assault and infidelity.
The audio was recorded in 2005, and centers around a conversation between Trump and Billy Bush on the show ‘Access Hollywood‘. The chat between the two includes Trump saying:
“I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it …
I did try and f*ck her. She was married.”
He then continues to say that because he’s famous, he can do what he wants to woman. This includes the claim that he would, “Grab them by the p*ssy,”.
“You can do anything” – he says.
Here’s the full audio clip below (watch on an empty stomach):

As imagined, these gross statements are being taken as pretty damn un-presidential, with even a majority of Republicans denouncing their support for Trump.
Trump initially reacted to the leak by shrugging it off as “locker room banter” before making an official apology.
While nothing about sexual assault is funny, what is lol-worthy is that Trump is FINALLY getting a proper roasting for the despicable way he often speaks about women – and humans in general.
The internet is rejoicing that Trump is actually getting his comeuppance.
Here are some of our fave reactions:
Honestly, just step into the voting booth, think of the words "grab her by the pussy," then do what you have to do.

The next best thing to #PUSSYGATE would be for Rosie O'Donnell to moderate the next debate. #NEVERTRUMP

I'm now in a locker room and can confirm that Trump's "locker room banter" defense is not playing well among locker room banterers.

Overheard: "Trump can say all the disgusting things he wants about women. Truth is, he's losing to one next month."
