Donald Trump is again treading dangerous waters with the recent release of a video that records his conversation with Billy Bush. In this video he is conversing about the benefits of his celebrity status and how his fame lets him violate women sexually. He explains how women would let him kiss them on the lips and sometimes he would touch them sexually in the private area without any reproductions. Essentially he thought he could do whatever he wanted. Although the videos release records Trumps shrewd comments, it cannot actually prove that he ever actually preformed those actions. Since the release of the video though many women have come forth and accused Trump of harassing them. Of course Donald Trump refutes these accusations. His supporters still back him and agree with the notion that it was just “locker room” talk. Being an athlete myself this intrigued me. He claims that behind closed doors in the locker rooms that athletes speak this way. Based on my experiences i can say that it couldnt be more incorrect. I have never spoke nor heard any of these comments while being in a locker room. Of course it would not be accurate to say that there isn’t talk of women occasionally, but they aren’t brought up in a way that is insulting or derogatory. No one ever mentions the things that Trump is recorded explicitly saying. There is a big different between, “that girl is pretty,” and the obscenity of Donald Trumps comments. Athletes have responded to Trumps claims of it being “locker room” talk. Athletes like basketballs LeBron James and footballs Richard Sherman have come out saying and disapproving of the actions Donald Trump thinks goes on in locker rooms. They all agree that this man is insane, and that women should and aren’t talked about in that manner. I do not know how Donald Trump came up with the idea of this “locker room” talk, but one thing is for sure, he is completely inaccurate in his claims.
