This video was recorded in September 2005, catching Donald Trump on a hot mic while riding a bus with Billy Bush on the way to an Access Hollywood appearance at an NBC studio. Trump was headed there to film a cameo on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, invited as a celebrity guest during the height of his reality-TV fame. What was captured during that ride was not scripted television, not satire, and not a misunderstanding. It was a private conversation Trump clearly believed would never be heard. On that bus, Trump spoke openly about sexual entitlement and power, culminating in the now-infamous line: “And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. … Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.” The words were delivered casually, without shame or hesitation, as if wealth and celebrity erased the concept of consent entirely. When the bus stopped, Trump and Bush were greeted by Arianne Zucker, an actress on Days of Our Lives. The contrast is unsettling. Minutes after boasting about violating boundaries, Trump stepped off smiling, posing for cameras, and playing the role of a respected guest. This was Trump then. This is Trump now. He has never changed. Today he is the President of the United States, yet the same sense of entitlement, the same disregard for others, and the same worldview are still visible. Posting this video is not about shock value. It is about honesty, memory, and accountability and refusing to pretend that who he was then is any different from who he is today. Show more
