Disgraced Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has issued a video apology after frankly sickening audio of him casually describing (hell, even bragging about) sexual assault was leaked this morning.
Regarding the statements made in 2005, including his jaw-dropping assertion “when you’re a star [women] let you do it. You can do anything … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything,” Trump said those words don’t “reflect” him.
“Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologise.”
Issuing what could possibly be the most easily-broken vow of all time, Trump then said “I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and I will never, ever let you down.”
Then, stunningly, he somehow managed to demonstrate that sprinkling of contrition as complete bullshit in the very next sentence. Trump said “let’s be honest: we’re living in the real world.

This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today.”
What followed was a further fuck you to common decency, as Trump flipped into attack mode by claiming Bill Clinton has abused women in the past, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was complicit in further bullying.
“See you at the debate on Sunday,” he said. Hell yeah we will. There’s a lot to talk about.
