No sooner had the accounts of two women who suffered sexual assaults by Donald Trump reached the news, than more reports have appeared. One speaks to Trump’s attitude toward the women competing in the 2013 Miss USA Pageant—and to something worse than attitude.
“Do y’all remember that one time we had to do our onstage introductions, but this one guy treated us like cattle and made us do it again because we didn’t look him in the eyes? Do you also remember when he then proceeded to have us lined up so he could get a closer look at his property? Oh I forgot to mention that guy will be in the running to become the next President of the United States. I love the idea of having a misogynist as the President.” …
"He probably doesn't want me telling the story about that time he continually grabbed my ass and invited me to his hotel room."
The fourth account concerns a women who encountered Trump at his Mar-a-Laro resort in Florida.
McGillivray, 36, said she was groped by Trump at Mar-a-Lago 13 years ago. She said she never reported it to authorities.
But her companion that day, photographer Ken Davidoff, vividly remembers when McGillivray pulled him aside moments after the alleged incident and told him, ‘’Donald just grabbed my ass!’’

The Clinton campaign is out with a statement:
“This disturbing story sadly fits everything we know about the way Donald Trump has treated women. These reports suggest that he lied on the debate stage and that the disgusting behavior he bragged about in the tape are more than just words.”
As with the other incidents, the Trump campaign had an instant answer ready to go.
“There is no truth to this whatsoever,” Hope Hicks, Trump’s press secretary, said about McGillivray’s allegation when reached by The Post Wednesday night. “This allegation lacks any merit or veracity.”
Both McGillivray and Jessica Leeds, who came forward as part of the New York Times story, cited Trump’s less than contrite television “apology” in which he denied ever acting on his statements as the final straw that caused them to go public with their stories.
Trump apologized for the remarks and dismissed them as “locker room talk.” But the debate moderator, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, asked Trump to clarify: “Have you ever done those things?”
“No, I have not,’’ Trump replied.
Watching at home in Palm Springs, Fla., McGillivray said she rose from her couch and yelled at the TV screen: “‘You liar!’’’
