She then describes a scene in which she says she reassured him he’d win while also ripping into him over the vulgar remarks he was heard making in the recordings. In addition to the “pussy” brag, Trump also boasted to Access Hollywood host that he doesn’t “even wait” before making a move on a woman—a statement that drew comparisons to sexual assault at the time.
