Donald Trump has once again landed himself in hot water. The trouble stems from an 11-year-old conversation that was recorded where he had bragged about using his 'celebrity' to kiss and grope women. The Washington Post released the recording, which was made in 2005 on a soap opera set, Trump appeared on.
Since the recording dropped, social media and mainstream media outlets have been constantly and consistently discussing it. But the question is, will this hurt his election chances? Will this be the final nail in Trump's political coffin, or will it be swept under the rug?
Sure it will give Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton plenty of ammunition for their upcoming debate on Sunday, but is it enough to derail Trump? And does Clinton dare take the conversation there after her husband's trysts and treatment of women?
In my mind, this does not significantly weaken Trump. I think many of his supporters will brush this off as "locker room talk" that happened over a decade ago. This shouldn't be the case. Trump's supporters need to really take a good look at their candidate and demand better. If they still continue to support him after this, then they have to hold him accountable!
Trump's language was degrading to women and if the U.S. truly wants to be a progressive society, we need to confront such stagnant thoughts and beliefs head on.
