Trump’s mindset

Let’s draw a line in the sand regarding Donald Trump’s views on women. He can’t excuse himself by saying “I said it and I’m sorry” and now let’s move on. What he did was advocate and encourage sexual assault on women, bragging that as a “star” he can get away with.

That’s a mindset, not just remarks.

He boasts about his accomplishments in the past, so minimizing his lewd comments because he made them 11 years ago is contradictory. We all own our actions. Donald Trump needs to step down and save his family from any further embarrassment.
