Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately
New York Times ^ | October 12, 2016 | MEGAN TWOHEY and MICHAEL BARBARO

Donald J. Trump was emphatic in the second presidential debate: Yes, he had boasted about kissing women without permission and grabbing their genitals. But he had never actually done those things, he said.

“No,” he declared under questioning on Sunday evening, “I have not.”

At that moment, sitting at home in Manhattan, Jessica Leeds, 74, felt he was lying to her face. “I wanted to punch the screen,” she said in an interview in her apartment.

More than three decades ago, when she was a traveling businesswoman at a paper company, Ms. Leeds said, she sat beside Mr. Trump in the first-class cabin of a flight to New York. They had never met before.

About 45 minutes after takeoff, she recalled, Mr. Trump lifted the armrest and began to touch her.

According to Ms. Leeds, Mr. Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.

“He was like an octopus,” she said. “His hands were everywhere.”

She fled to the back of the plane. “It was an assault,” she said.

Ms. Leeds has told the story to at least four people close to her, who also spoke with The New York Times.

Mr. Trump’s claim that his crude words had never turned into actions was similarly infuriating to a woman watching on Sunday night in Ohio: Rachel Crooks.

Ms. Crooks was a 22-year-old receptionist at Bayrock Group, a real estate investment and development company in Trump Tower in Manhattan, when she encountered Mr. Trump outside an elevator in the building one morning in 2005.

Aware that her company did business with Mr. Trump, she turned and introduced herself. They shook hands, but Mr. Trump would not let go, she said. Instead, he began kissing her cheeks. Then, she said, he “kissed me directly on the mouth.”

The NYT and CNN are not giving up on their campaign against Trump. So Trump was a horny pervert 30 years ago. I don’t care. Instead of apologizing Trump needs to slam Hillary on policy.

I have no doubt if anyone digs hard enough they will find someone willing to claim anyone did something.

Trump being who he is I am sure he’s probably made a pass or two at women in his life that were less than the milquetoast ask before touch nonsense being pushed today... But sexual assault? Given we know he doesn’t drink I’d say I doubt it.

What about all those poor innocent female reporters trapped on the plane with a pervert sticking his erection out at them?

Oh wait. That was Obama. You can't judge black people by the same standards the rest of us are supposed to live up to. They's "special".

In this case apology admits guilt, IMO. He needs to blast past the accusations.

Trump airlines were founded in 1989. I would LOVE to know the date of this BS. Also since when does Trump travel commercial even before Trump Airlines. I think this should be easy to show BS.

I don’t believe any of this. This is the NY Times. They are communists, and they’ll lie about anything. Why didn’t these women come forward in June of 2015?

Please, share with us your knowledge that Trump is a “douche bag and...probably true.” We wait for your superior knowledge of The Donald although as a New Yorker for over 40 years I’ve never heard anything like this.

Seriously, people like you are why we lose elections.

For some reason, Herman Cain comes to mind.

Did these women previously report these “assaults”, and when, and to whom?

The article says this happened prior to Trump getting his own plane and says it was first class.
