Eric Trump Makes Us Uncomfortable

The Colorado Springs Gazette’s Joey Bunch reports on Trump-spawn Eric Trump’s campaign swing in Colorado, yesterday in Denver and moving north today to Greeley:

Eric Trump, the presidential candidate’s 32-year-old son, came to Colorado Monday to talk business and energize volunteers, but he was armed and ready to defend his father’s personal reputation.

He blamed Hillary Clinton’s campaign for releasing a 2005 “Access Hollywood” audio tape in which his father made lewd comments about kissing and groping women against their will, and getting away with because he’s a celebrity…

“And, listen, my father apologized for it. He was right to apologize for it, and I’m glad he apologized for it. At the same time, if you look at her track record with women, it’s horrible. It’s absolutely horrible.”

There has been no evidence that the Clinton campaign released the damaging tape. [Pols emphasis]

Nobody knows where the tape in question came from as of this writing, but the source of the leaked video in question is irrelevant: it’s what’s on the tape that matters. Somewhere deep in the hedonistic recesses of the younger Trump’s mind, he’s aware of it:

“At the same time, I think it’s locker room banter,” he said, repeating his father’s description of it. “I think sometimes when guys are together they get carried away, and sometimes that’s what happens when alpha personalities are in the same presence. At the same time, I’m not saying it’s right…”

Got that, folks? Dad’s just an “alpha personality,” and that means when he gets around other alpha personalities, why, bragging about sexually assaulting women is just what happens! It’s not right, (dramatic pause) “but hey.” And besides, it’s Hillary Clinton’s fault for releasing the tape more than Donald Trump’s fault for, you know, saying what he said. After all, boys will be boys!

One thing’s for sure, this kid learned some great values growing up.
