Trump never "admitted" anything.  He was caught on a hot mike saying that "they let you grab them".  That's really not hard to believe.  To think that a hot woman would allow a rich and powerful man to "grab them" is pretty much "the norm".

When that moment was caught on the hot mike, I believe that it was prior to him being elected, so it's not like he used his position of power as being an elected official to abuse women.

For what it's worth, I don't think that just because a person is wealthy or famous it gives them the right to treat women that way.  However it's two different things.

What it was, people weren't used to a person running for political power being so non-PC.. Was it in poor taste? You could say that.. Have I personally said worse? You're damn right, so I can't judge.. I fully believe it was locker room talk. I'm sure some of these politicians in power have definitely said and done worse and they just haven't been caught.
