In case you weren’t paying attention, Donald Trump has always been a predator

When an Access Hollywood video of Donald Trump making lewd, predatory comments about women was released, there was outrage and shock, but not necessarily surprise. The comments were the private side of the public actions Trump has always displayed.

As Trump has become more of an entertainer and celebrity over the years, dating from his ownership of and appearances on the Miss Universe beauty pageant, to his role on NBC’s The Apprentice, his smarm and handsiness in public have become more extreme. Though he apologized for his comments, he also dismissed them as locker room talk. Still, for years now, he has been acting upon desires to kiss and/or grab the people he encounters—making his private comments a public matter.
