A new video shows Donald Trump grabbing and kissing a former Miss Universe

Thing is, though that would obviously be the best outcome, it doesn't need to be. Shit like this deserves to be put into the spotlight. The goal is to just hammer in the point that Trump is a disgusting man. Even if the people who support him remain unswayed, it just makes it easier for me to acknowledge they're just as deplorable for continuing to support him.

I understand your point of view but without the context of her opinion on the encounter/the nature of their relationship. I feel you are jumping to a conclusion. Look I'm married and women have a lot of complex emotions so without anything overt I'm not going to try and explain how a woman is feeling inside.

Uh huh.
The Article You Claimed to Have Read said:
I'm pretty sure most people would find it humiliating to be told "I was going to call you stupid" in front of a crowd of people.
No bias here, huh?

but his supporters have proven that they will stay supporters no matter how many atrocious things about this man are revealed.
as i've been following the news, every single time something like this has happened, all he's done is said that they are the liars and he's going to sue them after the election for defamation of character, or something like that.

So, to paraphrase: "I was going to get on stage and tell everyone this woman is stupid even though it's not true just because she slighted me."
I hate everything about this man.
I hate everything about this man.
Once again, while it's possible that she may magically feel unbothered by the whole experience, that doesn't make what he did right.
Are you really saying that if that his behavior is only reprehensible if she confirms that she was made uncomfortable? That you don't understand why it isn't right to try and embarrass someone like that? That it isn't right to just randomly try and kiss them like that?
Okay....and?
"Fuck the world, GAF is what matters here."
Anyway, afraid you're not getting that satisfaction.
I apologize if I misread that. I detected sarcasm.
I get it. Trump is a piece of shit. I agree with that. But nothing makes people look worse than being so obsessed with hating someone to the point that they're literally grasping at straws.
With everything that's come out about this guy, both recently and in years prior, everyone knows he's garbage. Let's not make ourselves look like obsessed zealots.
Oh come on, now.
There are very serious reasons to be worried about a Trump presidency, so that is incredibly petty and without much forethought.
She was very clearly uncomfortable in the video, and that is enough. Case closed. It doesn't matter if that fits your definition of being bad enough.
This is an odd observation. How do you know they're only "friends" and not actually friends?
It's impossible for me to look worse than Trump, so...
True colours? I don't have a horse in this race.
It just makes me angry when people lie. Simple.
Agreed. Said out of anger and annoyance. I think anyone in their right mind knows this man has no chance of winning though.

Such a nasty man
I wonder how he'll spin this one where there is even video proof

He says that as a joke, like he would lie and say that she isn't bright because she didn't introduce him. Some petty revenge thing. He's trying to say "I was going to call you dumb because you didn't introduce me" and on stage it's obvious that that would be a lie, because he likes her and they're friends.
(Bad) example of the joke:
A worker brings his boss a cup of coffee, the boss says "oh thanks, I was about to fire you but I guess I won't now"

Our culture the way it is, I doubt this does anything. All the ingredients are there for bullshit excuses: she's smiling, he's joking and "why hasn't she complained about it, then?"
Is this Europe though? And what about the rest of the video?
Except it isn't a joke, he has used this nonsense in very serious contexts, like after the first debate.

I can count like 10 abusive things he did in this video. I don't know how people are so blind to this.

Only in regards to the kissing stuff. Without knowing the nature of their relationship it's hard to say because she doesnt overtly do anything and we haven't heard her feelings on the matter.
I don't live in Europe and people with whom i'm close with usually get a kiss when saying hello or goodbye.
Yes, true colors. You have exposed yourself as a sexual assault excusing misogynist.
Stop trying to sound like the voice of reason.
Excuse me?!?

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
This is a beautiful illustration of how this guy operates, since he just blantantly says that he attacks without any truth or merit, just out of vindictiveness. And I'm not even focusing on the sexual stuff, just the weird Machiavellian advice he gives at these seminars.
I feel like tape of these seminars alone should be enough to dissuade anybody to vote for him, they're probably full of this kind of pettiness masquerading as power.

I don't think I actually have the stomach to watch this video, "tame" as it is
Trump is such a horrible person and jackass that sadly this would not be the worst thing he had done in most weeks.
The floor he has set on expected human behavior for someone running for president is so fucking low now. If he can go 24 hours without raping someone or saying something hideously racist his supporters would probably commend him.

It's just a formal thing. Hell, they even do it at the oscars and what not. And didn't I write "verbal idiocy"? I did.

Remember when Trump called Cruz a Pussy?
https://youtu.be/UHcD5-TGHvY?t=66
This is exactly the same thing. Hes basically saying "I'm just saying hypothetically I might call her an idiot in front of everyone, if I were trying to get back at her for refusing to introduce me, which I would never do of course, even though she really didn't introduce me."
I'm kinda shocked that people cannot see this. It doesn't matter if she didn't feel uncomfortable. Trumps goal was clearly to make her feel uncomfortable, and that should be enough.

Rape culture in action
Be ashamed man, because you should.
I don't like the man, but unlike many of the absolutely vile things he said, in fairness, he was just making crude jokes for the audience.
God I'm somewhat defending Trump. I hate myself and this election cycle.

He mocked Chris Christie's weight as a joke, and he called Ted Cruz a pussy as a joke.
Joking or serious, he's still being a scumbag, and his insults should be pretty transparent by now.
I don't know if this is sexy enough to get very much play, but I also don't think that it has to. This kind of video cements the fact that Donald Trump is disrespectful towards women, and feels free to act abominably towards them. It's something that women everywhere experience, and it's something that they're going to be constantly reminded about come Election Day. I suspect that Trump will perform worse among women at the election booth than he does in the polls.
