    Four different women have now accused Donald of improper sexual content.

    Four different women have come out and accused Donald Trump of improperly touching them without their consent, news outlets reported Wednesday, just three days after the Republican presidential nominee insisted in a debate that he had never engaged in such behavior.

    As to at least one of the reports, Trump is threatening to sue the newspaper (the New York Times) for reporting the story.

    Times reporter Megan Twohey wrote in the article that when she asked Trump on Tuesday night to comment on the allegations, he called her "a disgusting human being," accused the Times of making up the story and said that he would sue the paper if it ran the story.

    Then on Wednesday, one of Trump's lawyers sent a formal letter to the Times threatening a lawsuit if it published the story, according to CNN's Brian Stelter.

    While I normally don't credit uncorroborated accusations of this nature, the fact that so many are coming about is concerning. But at least as concerning to me is Donald's reaction to the press. He has repeatedly in the past demonstrated his willingness to use his significant financial power to attempt to censure or persecute those who say things critical of him. He even sued Bill Maher for making a joke about Trump's father being an orangutan.

    What is this guy going to be like with the power of the presidency behind him?

    No one will ever know nor do they need to worry about it.

    He's not going to be the President so its a non-issue.

    What he is doing is exposing the filthy, vile underbelly of a certain portion of the republican party that if they're smart, they'll boot out.

    trump the racist rapist is going to humiliate himself, his gross family and all of his cultists. He is a national disgrace and will be a stain on American history attributed to the republican party pandering for too long to a pack of racists. Its time for them to cleanse their souls and their party.

    Trust me, in about 3-6 months...most trump cultists will be too embarrassed to admit that they worshipped the con-artist orange kkklown and he'll be headed for bankruptcy yet again.

    Undoubtedly, based on Trump's own words claiming to be a serial sexual predator. It will be much like the Bill Cosby situation - as women spoke out more victims were emboldened to come forward. This trickle will very quickly become a flood.

    The GOP has a real problem now. This isn't bragging on a bus; these are serious and despicable crimes.

    You could be correct. I already see some folks backing away from admitting they are supporting him.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens with the GOP.

    Ryan and the others have to withdraw their endorsements now. There's no way they can continue to support a man who has admitted to doing these things and now has a growing number of accusers confirming he did commit these heinous crimes.

    Obviously.

    Trump has ZERO chance to win.

    At this point, the only suspense is Hillary's margin.

    And of course Trump's knee jerk reaction is to Triple-Down on going "scorched earth".

    Which, will only SINK him further.

    This will not hurt him at all as he partners with Roger Ailes to start his own right wing propaganda, conspiracy theory, birther, President Clinton bashing media outlet because his fans and supporters will follow him blindly. But he clearly will have to own this at some point as more and more accusers come forward which will burn his butt because Trump does not take responsibility for his (*)(*)(*)(*)-ups.

    He's going to have one little problem with the lawsuit thing: he's on tape confessing.

    Yes I'll watch that new Trump Network while I'm eating Trump Steak and drinking Trump Vodka on my Trump Shuttle flight to Trump Taj Mahal Casino.

    He's definitely calling his accusers liars, but not threatening to sue them.

    Well gee, isn't all this taped jock talk and women coming forth with sex claims CONVENIENT !

    Only the gullible will fall for this. The rest of Americans will weigh this in the balance and it will be found wanting.

    Those Americans are listening to people like this -- A Warning from Mischael Modrikamen from Belgium --
    and forwarding this to everyone they know with common sense.

    Time to get a grip folks.

    Two women accused him of giving them a kiss.

    One claims that she was in first class with him 30 years ago
    and that he felt her breasts, but when he put his hand up
    her skirt she said no and he stopped. There were no witnesses,
    she didn't complain to the flight crew, and she never filed a
    complaint or report with the police.

    This has the stench of desparation on it by the media and the Clinton campaign.

    Accusations only. Why is this news now and not when it supposedly happened. Without details and proof it is just another attempt by democrats to discredit him before he election.

    I knew this would nhappen. Clinton and the liberal media had the tape for months but waited until the election was nearing to release it.

    I hope the next debate is on the real issues and there is no talk of Clinton's felonies and lies and Trumps 11 year old tape. The moderators of the last two debates were terrible. And too many questions on the candidates personal lives. Bill Clinton does not belong back in the white house where he will take up charity policy issues and who knows what. Hilary committed felonies that others were prosecuted for. I have to admit she and the DNC are sly and with a President that wouldn't allow her to be prosecuted she beat the rap!
