    Picture that scene. He grabs them there. "They let you do it." If he is just grabbing, as a special surprise, how have we established that they let him -- because they don't slap him upside the head and file charges?

    We are strictly talking about what he said to Bill Bush on the "Access Hollywood" tape.

    That is certainly one interpretation.

    The other interpretation of "They let you do it" is, "They consent to you doing this."

    I might be inclined to that interpretation if he hadn't used the same sort of line in explaining walking around the changing rooms at beauty pageants.

    I don't necessarily doubt these women. Trump may have behaved the way they describe, or at least close to their description.

    And, their descriptions all fit his mo.

    The main problem with their narratives is that they've all come out after the Access Hollywood tape.

    So, if they wanted to, they could fit their narrative to match the behavior he describes on the Access Hollywood tape.

    I'm not sure what to believe. Even by his own description, Trump is aggressive in approaching women.

    With the help of Carlos Slim -- a Mexican! -- and the New York Times.

    Another interpretation, and for my money the correct one, is that a man with narcissistic personality disorder, who thinks the entire world and everyone in it is his for the taking, is unable to properly judge what is or isn't "consent."

    Did Intentionally Obtuse Dick and Intentionally Obtuse YankeeFan do breakfast today?

    By the way, if Trump is really a serial sexual molester, how bad does the New York Times now look for its earlier story about Trump and women in which it led with the sordid tale of a woman who was (gasp!) lent a swimsuit at a pool party?

    That's way too much bringing in extra-textual information to justify Politico's sentence, as written.

    Did I sexually assault my wife when I kissed her without asking first?
