The video captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of “Access Hollywood,”on a bus with the show’s name written across the side. They were arriving on the set of “Days of Our Lives” to tape a segment about Trump’s cameo on the soap opera.
Late Friday night, following sharp criticism by Republican leaders, Trump issued a short video statement saying, “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.” But he also called the revelation “a distraction from the issues we are facing today.” He said that his “foolish” words are much different than the words and actions of Bill Clinton, whom he accused of abusing women, and Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of having “bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.”
“I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am,” Trump said.
In an apparent response to Republican critics asking him to drop out of the race, he said: “We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday.”

In this ‘information age’ nothing you ever said or thought is hidden any more. We have to recall the words of Jesus (as) who said: ‘who ever is without fault should throw the first stone’ (or something like that). In other words ‘who ever is without fault should nominate himself for the top job’. The Presidency will most likely be vacant for a long, long time.
Yes, take care what ever you say. Students lost their internships because of a silly Facebook post. Many people lost their jobs because of some tweet or other. Supreme Court Judge applicants were not considered because their wives employed an ‘illegal alien’ years back. Everything is recorded.
I hope Trump has the good sense to withdraw his nomination for the sake of his family and for the sake of the voters, who have stood by him through thick and thin, to spare them all the shame and contradictions.
