"I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it," Trump says in the newly-released audio. "I did try and fuck her. She was married." :grandmais
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married," Trump adds, after saying he took the woman -- who is identified only by her first name -- out furniture shopping.
"Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony and everything. She's totally changed her look," Trump says of the woman.
He also said: "When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything ... Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything."
The remarks prompted Trump -- for the first time in his nearly 16-month campaign -- to apologize.
"This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended," Trump said in a statement released Friday.
A close adviser to Trump told CNN the story is "flat out appalling" and at this point, they can't even begin to guess whether Trump can come back from this.
"This should have never happened. I wish it had never happened. I think I know that men talk this way sometimes, but it's nothing I would ever want to hear or condone or approve of," the adviser said. "My reaction is -- it's appalling. It's just flat out appalling."
The adviser also said Trump's apology does not go far enough.
"Doing anything other than to say it was a grievous error and he apologizes would be a mistake," the adviser said. "I would take it a step further and own to the words as being offensive -- not 'if.'"
The adviser, clearly exasperated, added: "Another day in Trump world ... I hate it."
A GOP operative in Ohio voiced similar sentiments.
"This is bad. I think this thing is over," the staffer said.
Reached for comment, a top battleground state staffer told CNN he was "picking (his) chin off the floor." :nohead:
"We want every suburban woman's vote in America. This doesn't help with that," the staffer said.
