TRUMP is seriously dangerous

Donald Trump once joked about wanting to date a 10-year-old girl, as five women claim the GOP candidate groped them

Donald Trump, exposed Wednesday as an alleged serial groper, once said he’d spotted his future girlfriend on an escalator — when she was only 10.

The would-be sexist-in-chief made the stomach-turning joke in 1992 when “Entertainment Tonight” taped a Christmas special in Trump Tower.

Trump, then 46, makes a brief appearance and asks a group of 10-year-old girls if they’re going to take the escalator, according to the footage, reported by CBS News Wednesday. One girl pipes up with a happy “Yes!”

“I’m going to be dating her in 10 years,” Trump leers. “Can you believe it?”

Trump’s campaign embraces rape culture

He and his surrogates are gaslighting an entire nation.


In the aftermath of the release of the tape of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump casually bragging about how his status allows him to “grab women by the p*ssy,” the Trump campaign has become the embodiment of rape culture, taking the national conversation along for the ride.
Surrogates on national news platforms rushed to defend Trump’s comments as just “locker room talk,” something “all men do, at least all normal men,” as Carl Paladino put it. Other defenders have gone a step further, arguing that the GOP nominee was simply trying to be manly — his son Eric Trump characterized Trump as acting like an “alpha,” while TV pastor Pat Robertson said Trump was just trying to seem “macho.”

Then, despite Trump’s argument the tape was irrelevant because it was “just words,” women started accusing Trump of sexual assault.
Of course, a long record of Trump’s behavior toward women was already public —back in May, the New York Times published an expose of Trump’s private behavior that contained more than one anecdote of unwanted sexual contact, and some women have filed lawsuits against him alleging sexual harassment and attempted assault.
However, since the story broke of Trump bragging about what amounts to sexual assault, more and more women are coming forward with their own stories of experiencing groping and harassment from Trump throughout the years. On Wednesday night, media outlets published accounts from several women who say they were assaulted by the presidential candidate.
“Here come the rape police.”
People writer Natasha Stoynoff came forward with a story of Trump pinning her against a wall and kissing her at Mar-a-Lago. Mindy McGillivray alleged that she was groped by Trump, also at Mar-a-Lago. Allegations made in June by Miss Washington 2013, Cassandra Searles, were brought to the forefront by local media. Searles said that while she was in the pageant, Trump “continually grabbed my ass and invited me to his hotel room.” And two women came forward for the first time, telling the New York Times that Trump had groped and kissed them without their consent.
In response, the Trump campaign and the conservative media quickly moved to deny these allegations — and silence and smear these women.

Conservative commentator and informal Trump adviser Larry Kudlow reduced the allegations to “sex, lies, and videotapes.” Fox News host Monica Crowley suggested the onslaught of victims coming forward would reveal the true victim — Donald Trump. On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough said he was “skeptical about the timing of all of this dropping.” Former Trump manager Corey Lewandowski, now a CNN commentator, suggested the accounts were politically motivated. Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson suggested the women are seeking their “15 minutes of fame.”
“Here come the rape police,” Rush Limbaugh complained.
The campaign has also threatened they might take legal action against the women. A high-ranking source in the campaign signaled to CNN that the campaign might go after individual women, saying that “politically motivated accusers better lawyer up.”
“Comments that minimize the significance of sexual violence create feelings of shame and fear, and keep victims silent.”
The Trump campaign is downplaying assault, denying women’s stories, and actively attacking them for coming forward. And by implying that this talk is acceptable as “manly banter,” they’re normalizing a toxic form of masculinity that tells men they have a right to women’s bodies.
That’s textbook rape culture, according to Laura Palumbo, the communications director at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.
Rape culture “is reinforced by attitudes that normalize violence, myths about sexual violence, blaming victims and devaluing women,” Palumbo told ThinkProgress via email.
“Using sanitized terms such as ‘locker room talk,’ ‘crude language,’ or ‘It’s a guy thing’ makes invisible the real harms caused when people engage in behaviors that support rape culture,” Palumbo said. “It makes the violation of boundary and body invisible, numbs us to the sting of name calling and objectification and trivializes the responses of fear that are invoked in the thousands of people who have been grabbed on the bus, spied upon in dressing rooms, harassed in the workplace, or otherwise abused, raped and assaulted.”
Donald Trump and his campaign, right now, are highly visible — and they’re telling women that their stories of harassment and groping are unimportant, trivial, and untrue. They’re also telling men that it’s normal to treat women as objects over which they have some right. Many men have come forward to protest this characterization — but many others have backed it up.
Palumbo suggested that this may have a lasting impact on sexual violence survivors, who are watching the backlash that women are facing for coming forward with their stories about harassment and abuse.
“Comments that minimize the significance of sexual violence create feelings of shame and fear, and keep victims silent — which in turn keeps people who cause harm invisible,” she said.
Soraya Chemaly, the director of the Women’s Media Center Speech Project, pointed out that even the Republican men who are disavowing Trump are betraying the other side of rape culture: seemingly benevolent paternalism that casts select women as needing protection from strong men.
“Trump crossed a line, and the line that he crossed was he put on displays of a very predatory and exploitative core of paternalism and benevolent sexism.”
“This is a man who repeatedly says what all conservative politicians say, which is that we love women, we adore women, we put women on pedestals,” Chemaly said. That feeds into the widespread idea that protecting women is central to masculinity.
But the tape — which caught Trump crassly denigrating women in private, moments before switching into his smoother public demeanor — exposed the hypocritical core of this paternalism.
That helps explain why the ubiquitous frame for GOP men’s outrage is that Trump has denigrated their mothers, daughters, and wives.


And crucially, Trump was talking about women who looked like these men’s wives and daughters: white women, married women. This fits into the longstanding racially motivated trope that while most women are fair game, some good women — white women of a certain class — are supposed to be protected from predatory men, usually men of color.
“As with anything else related to rape culture in the United States, this is so deeply racist,” Chemaly said.
Trump himself has built his campaign on fearmongering about supposedly predatory men of color. Shortly before Trump’s hot mic tapes took over the news, he said that the Central Park Five — five black and Latino teens who were imprisoned for the brutal assault and rape of a white woman — should have been executed, despite the fact that they have since been exonerated by DNA evidence. He infamously kicked off his campaign by calling Mexican immigrants rapists and warning they’re bringing this crime into our country.
Imagine, for a second, if a black candidate had been caught on tape making Trump’s comments about women.
“As with anything else related to rape culture in the United States, this is so deeply racist.”
While Republican men purport to be horrified for their mothers, daughters, and wives, Chemaly suggests that outrage actually comes from a sense of shame over being associated with a man who broke the boys-club “locker-room” rules and exposed them, rather than from a real concern over women.
During the debate, she points out, Facebook released a trends analysis showing that Trump’s lewd comments were the number one issue on women’s minds. For men, the comments didn’t even make the top five.
“It is an abstraction for most men. To try to explain why sexual harassment, street harassment, the threat of rape, effects our ability to go to school, walk freely, to get jobs, to keep working in certain places, it’s like it doesn’t matter. It’s like its just a trivial thing. And clearly, women’s response to this indicates that its not trivial to them.”

An Exhaustive List of the Allegations Women Have Made Against Donald Trump
By The Cut

It was just last week that a tape emerged of Donald Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women. Since then, Trump has been accused of harassment and assault by a number of women, with several coming forward to share their harrowing stories of alleged misconduct by a so-called “megalomaniac” who also happens to be running for president. The Cut has compiled a list of all the new allegations against Trump, as well as past accusations of assault, harassment, and discrimination by women.

Kissing a Former Miss USA Contestant Twice Without Consent

Former Miss USA contestant Temple Taggart McDowell claims Trump kissed her on the lips on at least two occasions without consent when she was just 21 years old. In 1997, McDowell was representing Utah in the beauty pageant, and was “shocked” that he thought he had the right to kiss her on the lips, according to the Daily Beast. After one of the kisses, a woman who accompanied her to Trump Tower allegedly warned her not to go into a room alone with Trump. McDowell told NBC News, “I would never approach or greet somebody like that unless it was somebody that I had been dating.” Trump has called the accusation “ridiculous.”

Groping a Woman Sitting Next to Him on a Plane

In a New York Times report published October 12, Trump was accused of fondling the breasts of Jessica Leeds when she was 38 years old. Leeds, now 74, reportedly met Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York more than 30 years ago, and claims he also attempted to reach under her skirt during the flight. She called the incident “an assault.” Trump has vehemently refuted the allegation.

Kissing a Receptionist at Trump Tower Against Her Will

Another revelation from the incendiary New York Times report: In 2005, receptionist Rachel Crooks was allegedly assaulted by Trump in the elevator at Trump Tower. She was working as a receptionist for a real-estate firm in the building when she ran into Trump in the elevator. After they shook hands, he allegedly refused to let go, kissed her on the cheeks, and also on the mouth. “It was so inappropriate,” Crooks told the Times. “I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that.” Trump has also denied this allegation.

Saying He’d Date a 10-Year-Old Girl in Ten Years

Newly emerged footage from CBS shows Trump talking about a 10-year-old girl’s physical appearance. In the tape, Trump joked: “I’ll be dating her in ten years. Can you believe it?”

This isn’t the first time Trump has been accused of making inappropriate remarks about young women. He has famously commented in 2006 that if Ivanka weren’t his daughter, he’d “perhaps” be dating her, and also gave Howard Stern the okay to refer to Ivanka as a “piece of ass.” He commented that then-12-year-old Paris Hilton caught his eye, telling Stern, “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’”

Sexually Assaulting a People Magazine Writer

Natasha Stoynoff, a staff writer at People, came forward as an alleged victim of Trump on October 12. In an essay, Stoynoff wrote that Trump assaulted her and forcibly kissed her in 2005 while she was on assignment for the magazine. At the time, Stoynoff was asked to interview Trump and wife Melania on their one-year anniversary at Mar-a-Lago. While there, Trump allegedly insisted upon giving her a tour. Stoynoff wrote:

“We walked into that room alone, and Trump shut the door behind us. I turned around, and within seconds, he was pushing me against the wall, and forcing his tongue down my throat. Now, I’m a tall, strapping girl who grew up wrestling two giant brothers. I even once sparred with Mike Tyson. It takes a lot to push me. But Trump is much bigger — a looming figure — and he was fast, taking me by surprise, and throwing me off balance. I was stunned. And I was grateful when Trump’s longtime butler burst into the room a minute later, as I tried to unpin myself.”
Afterward, Trump reportedly told Stoynoff that the two were going to have an affair. The writer says she didn’t report the assault at the time, as she both blamed herself and wrote it off as one of the risks associated with her job.

Groping a Woman at Mar-a-Lago

Mindy McGillivray claims Donald Trump groped her 13 years ago while she was visiting Mar-a-Lago with her companion, photographer Ken Davidoff. According to the Palm Beach Post, Davidoff brought his friend McGillivray with him to the estate while he covered a concert by Ray Charles. Only 23 at the time, McGillivray allegedly had her ass grabbed by Trump while he stood next to his then-fiancée, Melania.

She said, “All of a sudden I felt a grab, a little nudge. I think it’s Ken’s camera bag, that was my first instinct. I turn around and there’s Donald. He sort of looked away quickly. I quickly turned back, facing Ray Charles, and I’m stunned.’’ McGillivray claims Trump also flirted her a year earlier when she attended a different event with Davidoff.

Groping Miss Washington USA 2013

In a Facebook post earlier this year, former Miss Washington USA Cassandra Searles claimed Trump grabbed her ass and invited her back to his hotel room, according to Rolling Stone. She called Trump a “misogynist” and accused him of treating women like cattle. Searles wrote that he “lined up [contestants] so he could get a closer look at his property,” a claim that has been corroborated by Paromita Mitra of Mississippi.

Walking in on Teen Pageant Contestants While They Were Changing

Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant have accused Trump of walking into their dressing room while the contestants were changing, BuzzFeed News reported. Mariah Billado, a former Miss Vermont Teen USA, told BuzzFeed News that the contestants (who ranged in age from 14 to 19) were “just scrambling” to grab whatever garments they had when he walked in. She said, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here.’” Trump reportedly responded something along the lines of, “Don’t worry, I’ve seen it all before.”

Groping Makeup Artist Jill Harth in 1997

Makeup artist Jill Harth filed a lawsuit against Trump in 1997, accusing him of cornering her and groping her in his daughter’s bedroom. Harth and Trump allegedly first met in December 1992 during a business presentation — she and her former romantic partner George Houraney wanted him to back their American Dream festival — and Trump is accused of “subjecting her to a steady string of sexual advances,” The Guardian reports.

The night after the initial business meeting, Trump and Harth had dinner at the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room, where he allegedly groped her under the table. In January 1993, when Harth and Houraney visited Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate, he allegedly pulled her into one of his children’s bedrooms, pushed her up against the wall, groped her, and tried to get under her dress again. Harth has accused him of “attempted rape,” while Trump has called the allegations “meritless”

Raping Ex-Wife Ivana, But Not in the “Criminal Sense”

The 1993 book Lost Tycoon: The Many Lives of Donald J. Trump revealed that, in depositions for their contentious divorce case, Ivana Trump accused her then-husband of rape. The Daily Beast reported that, in the book, Harry Hurt III wrote that Trump confronted Ivana after a painful scalp reduction surgery to reduce his bald spot. He allegedly yelled that her “fucking doctor” ruined him, and then held back her arms and pulled out fistfuls of hair from Ivana’s scalp, before ripping off her clothes and forcing his penis inside her.

Trump previously denied the allegation, including the scalp surgery. “It’s obviously false,” Donald Trump reportedly said in 1993. “It’s incorrect and done by a guy without much talent … He is a guy that is an unattractive guy who is a vindictive and jealous person.” Trump’s legal counsel told the Daily Beast that Ivana was talking about how “she felt raped emotionally … She was not referring to it [as] a criminal matter, and not in its literal sense, though there’s many literal senses to the word.”

Slut-Shaming Former Miss Universe Alicia Machado

Alicia Machado won Trump’s Miss Universe pageant in 1996, and he has since called her “Miss Housekeeping” (because she is Venezuelan) and “Miss Piggy” (because she gained too much weight, in his opinion). After Machado became a talking point in his election for presidency, Trump took the extra step of publicly slut-shaming her. In a series of 5 a.m. tweets, Trump accused Machado of having a sex tape – which he urged voters to “check out.”

Sexually Harassing a Woman During the 1993 White House Correspondents’ Dinner

When Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter invited Trump to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 1993 as a “novelty guest,” he allegedly got more than he bargained for. Forty-five minutes after Trump sat down next to Swedish model Vendela Kirsebom, Carter claims she came over to his table, almost in tears, begging him to move her. “It seems that Trump had spent his entire time with her assaying the ‘tits’ and legs of the other female guests and asking how they measured up to those of other women, including his wife,” Carter wrote. ‘“He is,’ she told me, in words that seemed familiar, ‘the most vulgar man I have ever met.’”

Mistreating His Female Employees

An ongoing investigation by USA Today into the 4,000-plus lawsuits against Trump found that at least 20 separate lawsuits accuse the presidential candidate and managers of his companies “of discriminating against women, ignoring sexual harassment complaints and even participating in the harassment themselves.”

Trump was not directly involved in all of the lawsuits, which ranged in severity, but in one, he was accused of directing a female supervisor at a golf club to hire more attractive women. “I want you to get some good-looking hostesses here,” Trump told Sue Kwiatkowski, a supervisor at the club, according to USA Today. Kwiatkowski also alleged that he said, “People like to see good-looking people when they come in.”

In another lawsuit, a waitress alleged that Trump repeatedly flirted with her. USA Today also discovered at least three lawsuits in which women claimed they lost their jobs at a Trump company for complaining about sexual discrimination or harassment at work.

Bragging About Grabbing Women by Their Pussies

Trump was caught on tape bragging to former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about sexually assaulting women. The lewd conversation took place while the men were visiting the set of Days of Our Lives in 2005. Trump was caught talking about a failed attempt to seduce a married woman (later revealed to be former Access host Nancy O’Dell), saying, “I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married.”

The men were then distracted by actress Arianne Zucker, prompting Trump to declare that he was going to use some Tic Tacs in case he started kissing her. “You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”

Trying to Get Nancy O’Dell Fired for Being Pregnant

Trump has been accused of trying to get Nancy O’Dell fired from her job as a host for the Miss USA pageant after she rejected his advances (as detailed in the Access Hollywood tape), according to the Daily Beast. Trump allegedly did not like the way she looked in 2007, since O’Dell was several months pregnant and thereby not living up to Trump’s standards of appearance. However, O’Dell was under contract with NBC, and the network opted to keep her in place as a host, much to Trump’s chagrin.

Raping a 13-Year-Old at Jeffrey Epstein’s Apartment

A woman has accused Trump of raping her in 1994 when she was just 13 years old, according to BuzzFeed News. Trump has “vehemently denied the rape claims, which are being filed in a New York civil court for the third time,” BuzzFeed News reported. According to the suit, Trump allegedly had forcible sex with the plaintiff during a party at the New York City apartment of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted pedophile who is a billionaire. In June 2016, Jezebel reported that the coverage of the lawsuit was “the culmination of an almost year-long campaign to quietly push these allegations into the public discussion, and maybe make some money in the process.”

Hiring Women Based on Appearances

Trump gave writer Mark Singer a tour of Mar-a-Lago for an article in The New Yorker in 1997. Singer wrote that Trump introduced him to the property’s resident physician, Dr. Ginger Lea Southall. When she was out of earshot, Singer asked Trump where Southall had been trained.

Trump replied, “I’m not sure. Baywatch Medical School? Does that sound right? I’ll tell you the truth. Once I saw Dr. Ginger’s photograph, I didn’t really need to look at her résumé or anyone else’s. Are you asking, ‘Did we hire her because she’d trained at Mount Sinai for fifteen years?’ The answer is no. And I’ll tell you why: because by the time she’s spent fifteen years at Mount Sinai, we don’t want to look at her.”

We will update this post as we learn of additional accusations.

Trump ordered models to stand on his table so he could see if they were wearing underwear: report
Sarah K. Burris
13 Oct 2016 at 17:23 ET

Republican candidate for president Donald Trump is racking up accusers of sexual assault, unwanted groping, sexual harassment and more. Two came forward in the New York Times, one came forward in People magazine and another in the Palm Beach Post. Thursday, another woman came forward to talk about Trump looking up models’ skirts in the Huffington Post.

Lisa Boyne is the latest in a growing line of women who are stepping forward. In the mid-1990s she worked as a food business entrepreneur and while at a restaurant she recalled the reality TV star and wannabe amateur OGBYN Trump parading women around in front of their table looking up their skirts to determine if they were wearing underwear.

“It was the most offensive scene I’ve ever been a part of,” Boyne told HuffPo. “I wanted to get the heck out of there.”

At a rally Thursday, Trump swore “these events never happened,” but the list of women lodging accusations is growing and the behavior oddly consistent.

Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks’s excuse, this time, is “Mr. Trump never heard of this woman and would never do that.”

HuffPo spoke to another woman who also attended the same event and confirmed that it took place but couldn’t remember if the events unfolded in that way. She did confirm that Boyne attended the event in the summer of 1996 and also verified that at some point women were climbing on tables.

At the time Boyne was friends with Sonja Morgan, who now is a cast member on Bravo’s “Real Housewives of New York.” Morgan invited Boyne to dinner with Trump and late modeling agent John Casablancas. En route to the dinner Trump and Morgan picked Boyne up at her apartment and she describes Trump dominating the conversation and boasting about his sexual conquests and where they fell on his scale of attractiveness.

“He was constantly talking about himself, who he was dating, who he was sleeping with, who he was trying to sleep with,” Boyne said. “I just remember feeling very surprised and upset.”

Boyne described the event as an opportunity for Trump to meet young attractive women thanks to Casablancas bringing along half a dozen models. They were seated in a semi-circular table with the women in the middle and the men on each end, forcing the women to get past the men if they wanted to leave. According to Boyne, they refused to. Trump insisted they walk across the table instead, which gave him a look up their skirts.

Trump allegedly had zero interest in Boyne because she wasn’t a model. “He was more interested in my opinion of who I think he should sleep with. I remember that vividly,” she said.

She ultimately was able to get the man to let her leave the table, called her roommate, told the men she wasn’t feeling well and left.

Morgon also confirmed the dinner at the restaurant and that Casablancas brought several models, but she denied there were any lewd actions from Trump.

“I don’t remember any of that kind of behavior,” Morgan said. “But I have been known to dance on tables.”

Boyne’s roommate, Karen Beatrice denies she heard from Boyne that evening but didn’t deny the dinner took place. As a former model, Beatrice also met Trump, calling him “nothing but gracious and charming.”

Boyne was shocked Beatrice refused to confirm the incident, saying that the roommate was one of few she talked to about the event. She said that she’s been having “flashbacks” to the 1996 event since the New York Times story in May and the 2005 recordings.

“I met lots of famous, influential wealthy people with Sonja, and none of them were ever as vulgar, as disgusting, as rude, as sexist, such a low excuse for a human being that I’ve ever met. I was so deeply offended, I felt that like with Bill Cosby, the more people that come forward, the more legitimacy the story will have,” Boyne said.

“I find it hard to believe that he’s changed,” she added. “That was who he was. He was somebody who was interested in women as sex objects and their only merit was their beauty.”

Full disclosure: While I never 'ordered' any female to do anything in my life, I used to engage in similar peeping behavior ... when I was in kindergarten.

I like you. Like me, you saw the character of Mckinney as a fellow kindred in 2008(I voted for her too) And I get it, Trump's slimeball antics and slimeball minions have caught up to the media.
But I fully see how those who want global war with Russia, Iran and China are ensuring Clinton win on November 8th. Which is heartbreaking and difficult, as Trump doesnt represent
the ideals and civil rights issues I hold dear...but total human annihilation through world war will I feel render everything mute. That and catastrophic environmental climate change, something Trump and the right wing continue to feel are "hoaxes".

Don't let Trump get to you. Or he will have scored a victory. You are well loved here.

In Nazi-Like Speech, Trump Responds to Sexual Assault Claims With Broad Conspiracy Theory Designed to Foment Mayhem

Telegraphing anti-Semitism and disparaging the women who say he assaulted them, Trump delivered a piece of crafted propaganda via teleprompter.

By Adele M. Stan / AlterNet October 13, 2016


It would be tempting to label as “unhinged” the speech Donald Trump delivered in West Palm Beach on Thursday—a speech in which he dog-whistled a worldwide conspiracy against him (without actually uttering the word “Jews”) and disparaged the appearance of women who have accused him of sexual assault and transgressions.

But it was not unhinged. The speech was hinged to the original purpose of his campaign: to trade on the resentments of a restive remnant of white America—angry white men and the women who love them—and set the stage for mayhem in the wake of his likely electoral defeat.

This was not your standard, off-the-cuff Trump rant. This was a scripted speech, delivered with a teleprompter. It was crafted. It featured the key words of right-wing complaints: “sovereign,” “global bankers” and “slander.” Really, it came right out of a Nazi propaganda playbook. And when one considers the themes common between Nazi propaganda films and the films made by top Trump campaign staffers Stephen K. Bannon and David Bossie (as analyzed by AlterNet), we should hardly be surprised.

Trump began with an attack on the New York Times (whose majority owners are a Jewish family), which he said was engaged in a conspiracy of global proportions with the Clintons, international bankers and major corporations, all to stop him from winning the presidency.

“For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind. Our campaign represents a true existential threat, like they haven't seen before. This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we, the people, reclaim control over our government,” Trump told a cheering crowd. A few beats later, he said, “We've seen this firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers, her special interest friends and her donors.”

He then went on, at great length, describing what he alleged was coordination between the New York Times and the Clinton campaign, noting the newspaper’s Wednesday night report detailing allegations by two women who said Trump had sexually accosted them. Of course, he contended the women were liars. He also offered a disquisition on previous New York Times pieces about his behavior with women. It was all a grand conspiracy, he said, not just against him, but against the United States of America.

The agenda of the "media establishment,” Trump said, was to elect “crooked” Hillary Clinton, in the service of “special global interests rigging the system.” There are a lot of ways in the land of Wingnuttia to telegraph that your target is Jews, and these are two of them. Remember them: You’ll be hearing a lot in coming days about the "media establishment,” “global special interests,” oh, and “bankers.”

“Anyone who challenges their control,” Trump continued, “is deemed a sexist, rapist, xenophobe and morally deformed. They will attack you. They will slander you. They will seek to destroy your career and your family. They will seek to destroy everything about you, including your reputation. They will lie, lie, lie, and then again they will do worse than that. They will do whatever is necessary. The Clintons are criminals. Remember that, they're criminals.”

When the crowd began chanting, “Lock her up!” Trump chimed in, “So true. Honestly, she should be locked up. She should be. Should be locked up.”

Of his accusers, Trump told his audience to have a good look at them, implying they weren’t good-looking enough to have attracted his attention. Of the women interviewed by the New York Times, Trump said, “You take a look at these people. You study these people and you'll understand also. The claims are preposterous, ludicrous, and defy truth, common sense and logic.”

Speaking of Natasha Stoynoff, the People magazine writer who Wednesday night published an article detailing what she said was an assault by Trump against her at his Mar-a-Lago home, Trump said, “Take a look. You look at her. Look at her words,” he said. “You tell me what you think. I don't think so. I don't think so.”

Trump went on to say he has evidence to refute the claims made against him in the New York Times report, evidence he would reveal “at an appropriate time.” He also promised to take down the Times—put it out of business—with a lawsuit he is preparing against the newspaper. It is telling that one of his big supporters is Peter Thiel, who took down Gawker by backing Hulk Hogan’s privacy-violation lawsuit against the website.

Perhaps most chilling in all of the hate-stoking and conspiracy-mongering Trump demonstrated Thursday is his assertion that “this is war”—that the "media establishment” and the Clintons are engaged in a conspiracy that is making war on the American people “no matter how many lives they destroy.”

“For them, it's a war,” Trump said. “And for them, nothing at all is out of bounds. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation.”

Trump has learned well from his white nationalist friends. After all, the guy who likely wrote Thursday’s script—Trump campaign CEO Stephen K. Bannon—is the one who boasted of providing “the platform for the alt-right,” that anti-Semitic, misogynist movement from which Trump has derived such succor.

With Thursday's speech, Trump has baldly laid out his true agenda: a post-election insurrection.
