Billy Bush says Trump ‘Access Hollywood’ tape is real

After US president walks back apology and questions the recording’s authenticity, TV personality says he believes the accusers

ed note–Yes, doubtless that I will be accused by all the usual suspects of being a ‘shill for Drumpf’ and all the rest of the nonsense that prevails on a daily basis amongst the ‘smarter’ elements making up ‘duh muuvmnt’, but here it goes nonetheless–

Maybe Trump is telling the truth. Maybe, just MAYBE, his enemies who fought tooth and claw to prevent his getting elected made this audio tape using both an impersonator and computer voice-changing software that literally is available FOR FREE on the internet and is amazing in terms of how precise it is in making someone sound like whoever. Likewise, maybe, JUST MAYBE he in fact did not send the recent tweets of the anti-Islamic videos that in fact could be characterized as ‘fake news’, done by his enemies in trying to further destabilize his presidency.

But no, none of that makes sense. After all the Jews LOVE Trump and he loves them, therefore the wall of screeching against him to which 7 billion people living on God’s green earth are subjected on a daily basis must in fact all be just a hoax and just ‘part of the plan’.

Yeah, that makes more sense. Definitely.

Billy Bush said it was indeed Donald Trump’s voice captured on a 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape talking about fame enabling him to grope and try to have sex with women.

“Of course he said it,” the former “Access Hollywood” and “Today” show personality said in an op-ed published Sunday in The New York Times.

The video shows Trump, who was the star of “The Apprentice,” riding on an “Access Hollywood” bus with then-host Bush. At one point, Trump describes trying to have sex with a married woman. He also brags about women letting him kiss and grab them because he is famous.

“When you’re a star, they let you do it,” Trump says. “You can do anything.”

“Along with Donald Trump and me, there were seven other guys present on the bus at the time, and every single one of us assumed we were listening to a crass standup act. He was performing. Surely, we thought, none of this was real. We now know better,” Bush said in the op-ed.

The recording of the lewd conversation between Bush and Trump emerged during the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump later said he never did any of the actions described on the tape, and dismissed his words as locker room talk.

In the waning days of the presidential election, more than a dozen women came forward to say that Trump had sexually assaulted or harassed them over the years. He denied it.

But Bush said he believes the women, and he felt the need to write the piece following reports that Trump had privately suggested that the “Access Hollywood” tape was not authentic.

“I can only imagine how it has reopened the wounds of the women who came forward with their stories about him, and did not receive enough attention,” Bush said. “This country is currently trying to reconcile itself to years of power abuse and sexual misconduct. Its leader is wantonly poking the bear.”

Bush, who had recently been hired as co-host of the “Today” show, lost his job following the release of the tape. He said he has since gone through a lot of soul searching.

“None of us were guilty of knowingly enabling our future president,” he said. “But all of us were guilty of sacrificing a bit of ourselves in the name of success.”
