Donald Trump has laid out his agenda for his first 100 days in office, and, surprise surprise, he says that his first act as President of the United States would be to sue the women who’ve accused him of sexual misconduct.
During a speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Trump claimed that the many women who’ve come forward against him are lying to hurt his campaign. “Every one of these liars will be sued once the election is over,” he said. “I look so forward to doing that.”
His comments came shortly after yet another accuser, adult film actress Jessica Drake, made a statement to the press alongside her attorney Gloria Allred, who represents three of Trump’s alleged victims.
Drake, who is the 11th woman to come forward with accusations against Trump, says that she met the presidential candidate when she was working for Wicked Pictures at a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe in 2006.
She says that she accepted an invitation to walk along the golf course with Trump, and later joined him in his hotel suite with two other women, which is where his alleged misconduct occurred. She said:
“He grabbed each of us tightly in a hug and kissed each one of us without asking permission. He was wearing pyjamas. A bodyguard was also present. He asked me about my job as an adult film star, about details on shooting porn, and he also asked us about our personal relationships and whether we were married or single. We answered his questions, it felt like an interview. About 30 or 45 minutes later we left his room.”
She says that she left his room, and after declining an invitation from his staff to return, she received a phone call from Trump himself, offering her $10,000 and the use of his private jet if she accepted his invitation, which she did not.
At her press conference, Drake said that she is not seeking any monetary compensation from Trump, but merely wishes to support the other women who have spoken out.
She went on to accuse Trump of “uncontrollable misogyny”, labelling him a “sexual assault apologist,”, adding “I know I am but a grain of sand in a wide, wide beach.”
The Trump campaign have called Drake’s story “totally false and ridiculous.” In a statement to media, the campaign said: “Mr. Trump does not know this person, does not remember this person and would have no interest in ever knowing her.”
Allred herself warned Trump to “be careful what you wish for”, adding:
“Your latest threat is an admission of the hopelessness of your cause. It is nothing more than a transparent promise of revenge. Your threat is below the dignity of the office you are seeking.”
