Anderson Cooper Set The Trap, Trump Walked Into It, But Will It Matter?

Filed under: General — Dana @ 7:05 am



[guest post by Dana]

At my house last night it was immediately observed by viewers that Donald Trump walked into a trap:

COOPER: You described kissing women without consent, grabbing their genitals. That is sexual assault. You bragged that you have sexually assaulted women. Do you understand that?

TRUMP: No, I didn’t say that at all. I don’t think you understood what was said. This was locker-room talk. I’m not proud of it. I’ve apologized to my family — I’ve apologized to the American people.
[…]
Yes, I’m very embarrassed by it, I hate it, but it’s locker-room talk and it’s one of those things…

COOPER: Just for the record, though, are you saying that what you said on that bus 11 years ago, that you did not actually kiss women without consent or grope women without consent?

TRUMP: I have great respect for women. Nobody has more respect for women than I do.

COOPER: So for the record, you’re saying you never did that?

TRUMP: I said things that, frankly, you hear these things that were said, and I was embarrassed by it, but I have tremendous respect for women and women have respect for me.

COOPER: Have you ever done those things?

TRUMP: No I have not.

I don’t think it’s hard to figure out what we’re going to be seeing in the news this week. We’ve already had a glimpse of it.

  4. I appreciate your efforts, Dana. But honestly, how can anyone at all be surprised by the bad PR about him? He seems determined to damage the things he claims to believe in…for now. Until he changes his mind. Again.

    Trump, I mean.

  6. Cooper is such a scumbag. As if kissing a woman without asking is sexual assault. It depends on context. The vast majority of kisses, including first kisses, are without asking. Cooper knows that.

    Anderson Cooper is not even a human being, and he should never be treated as such. He doesn’t rise to the level of subhuman. Trump should exact revenge when he is President.

    – “Stay the fu*k back, stay the fu*k back away from me! Don’t come within ten yards of me, or else! Just fu*king do as I say, Okay!!?” Hillary screaming at her Secret Service detail. From the book “Unlimited Access” by Clinton ‘s FBI Agent-in-Charge, Gary Aldridge, p.139

  9. Actually, Denver Guy, I was talking with Jared Kushner at the JDL meeting on Saturday, and he’s already preparing his “list” for people to be “purged” if Trump is elected. But I don’t think you’ll be happy with whose names are on it.

    if you’re right then what we’re gonna see is some slick-ass propaganda sluts colluding with that pig to do the pig all up in it

    🙁

    which, that’s something they’d have never done on behalf of even a consummate gentleman as well-respected as sore loser harvardtrash ted

    cause of they serve the pig

    much like the corrupt fbi serves the pig

    and the epa serves the pig

    and the irs serves the pig

    whatever stunt the cnn propaganda sluts have planned, it’s just a foretaste of the yummy totalitarianism them pig-lovers are just aching to do all up in it

    one nation under pig

    but not me

    i choose freedom

    i choose Mr. Trump

    If you’re so confident in that absurd statement then go out, find a girl that looks attractive, walk up to her, and give he a kid on the lips. See if she doesn’t consider that sexual assault.

    Actually, Denver Guy, I was talking with Jared Kushner at the JDL meeting on Saturday, and he’s already preparing his “list” for people to be “purged” if Trump is elected. But I don’t think you’ll be happy with whose names are on it.

    nk (dbc370) — 10/10/2016 @ 7:37 am

    Can you add mine to the list? I don’t want to be left out on the great purge of 2016-17. It’s so nice to see Conservatives planning their own Night of the Long Knives.

    Sean (41ed1e)

  15. … “give he a kid on the lips” was meant to be “give he a kiss on the lips.” Apparently autocorrect has a different approach towards sexual assault.

    Sean (41ed1e)

  16. that’s not very smoov Mr. Sean you have to make sexy talk first like hey there would you like to taste one of these oreo churros they just came out the oven!

    then she’ll be all like omg these are yummy

    and you can be all like hey you wanna play star wars later

    and she’ll be all like sure can i be boba fett

    and you’re like no but you can fly the milleminum falcon if you want

    then you can kinda say ok see you later and give her a quick kiss

    but you have to be smoov Mr. Sean

    happyfeet (28a91b)

  17. alt.schicklgruber are not Conservatives, Sean.

    nk (dbc370)

  18. Yeah, Sean, you’re right, they should don the brownshirts, run ’em down and beat ’em to the ground like the lefty thugs do.

  20. The beauty of the allegation is that sure they can attack Trump on this but it hurts Hillary worse. I hate the candidate but for once someone running for the GOP is fighting back. Romney and McCain stuck the issues (like everyone is advising Trump to do an look where it got them). Notice I didn’t say conservative or republican (trump is the ultimate Trojan horse). If nothing else comes from this election, at least maybe in the future a GOP candidate can run like he actually wants to win.

    The irony is that the side making the issue about this doesn’t care about these issues. Trump is a pig, we know that so what. The press / dems are trying to escalate what trump did while making excuses or parsing Clintons behavior…

    Trying to kiss someone against there will… are we going to get to a point in this country where you will have to sign contracts about contact before going on a date… this country is insane.

    For the record, I was never Trump, still hate him but am voting for him. Electing the winter witch is unthinkable………

    What in the f-ing world did Trump make y’all take that has you making moral equivalency statements and excusing sexual assault as though forcing yourself on a woman is the same as some poor guy having consensual sex then being forced to defend that action months later when the girl has a guilt trip? Give me a break. And BTW the kissing part isn’t the only thing Trump said, so stop white washing his statements.

    Sean (1d5074)

  25. “I don’t think it’s hard to figure out what we’re going to be seeing in the news this week.” Are we going to see a woman who claims Trump grabbed her crotch? Or is there already one I haven’t heard about?

    The link goes to a story about how DJT wants pretty women to be hired for customer-facing jobs, and how he makes flirty talk with waitresses. That’s it. That is common, legal behavior for both businesses and men generally. It’s another cultural norm that will be militantly stamped out by HRC’s cult-marx cadres when they consolidate their power next year.

  28. “COOPER: Have you ever done those things?”

    Given his personal preferences, perhaps he was just conducting basic research, like the stellar journalist he is.

  29. “COOPER: Have you ever done those things?”

    Have I ever kissed a woman without asking? Or grabbed her p-ssy?

    Hell, yeah. This morning. And many times beside.

  30. of course it was a trap, they accused the guy of raping his own wife earlier in the campaign. it also appears that the whole trump primary was a trap (DNC pushed), which people like us figured.

    there was now way out, so I would counter your Adm. Ackbar with the visual of none other than James Tiberius Kirk, the game was rigged so don’t play it their way. flip the paradigm, our side had better get less squeamish or we will never win again. run add after add of the winter witch laughing about getting the rapist off (re-record it with a sound alike). Get really dirty, they do.

    Romney and McCain weren’t willing to push back and couldn’t get elected. At least this guy is punch back. It’s unseemly but isn’t the fate of the country worth it….

    Sean (1d5074) — 10/10/2016 @ 9:24 am

    I’m not trying to whitewash his statements but he didn’t say he assaulted. I assumed that he went in for a kiss or a group, she wasn’t into it and he stopped. there is no allegation he “rapped” anyone. In today’s culture, thinking impure thoughts can get you into trouble. (there was a guy he told his neighbor to pipe down or he was calling the cops – he was racist of course).

    You guys are too pure on this stuff so we will never win again. “HRC will be as good for gender relations as Obama has been for race relations!” – i said it here first.

  32. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/10/11/former-donald-trump-executive-he-s-a-supreme-sexist.html

    “He once said that, when his business was failing in the early ’90s, he blamed it on the fact that his executives did a bad job while he was off, in his words, ‘fxxxing women two and three at a time’—he said that!”

    She added, “We were in a limousine the first time he said that, and there were people there we didn’t really know very well, you know? And it just, it was very uncomfortable for me… He wanted it to be believed.

    “I saw him leering at women and putting his arm around them and stuff like that, but never anything of the magnitude described,” she said.
