A disturbing video from a 2011 corporate speech shows Donald Trump sexually humiliating a woman in front of thousands of people and going in for what appears to be a nonconsensual kiss, the Huffington Post reports.
The woman is Jennifer Hawkins, the 2004 Miss Universe winner from Australia. In the video, Trump calls Hawkins onstage to join him after telling the audience his philosophy on using revenge to succeed in business: "Get even with people," he says. "If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe that."
Trump, it seems, had spent the previous day being angry with Hawkins because he thought she had slighted him by supposedly declining to introduce him at the event in Sydney. Onstage with Trump, Hawkins laughs apologetically and explains that it was a "miscommunication with my management," and that she "felt really bad."
Trump seems to accept this: "When she found out, she got in her car and she got her ass over here, and I love her," he says. But that doesnt stop Trump from humiliating her anyway, in a bizarre, unsettling sequence of events.
First, he describes how he would have embarrassed Hawkins onstage, if she really had slighted him. "I was actually going to get up and tell you that Jennifer is a beautiful girl on the outside, but shes not very bright," he says. "That wouldnt have been true, but I would have said it anyway."
That part feels like an "Im not touching you! Im not touching you!" insult strategy that Trump has used before, notably when he called Fox anchor Megyn Kelly a "bimbo" and then claimed he didnt actually call her that.
Then Trump makes a sexual pun, and lingers on it until the audience gets it: "And you know what? She came tonight, she came came, she came, she came." Once the audience finally laughs, Trump adds: "See, so they have the same filthy minds in Australia.
