Trump told senator and adviser that 'Access Hollywood' tape may not be authentic

Source: The Hill

President Trump reportedly told a senator earlier this year that the infamous recording in which he can be heard boasting about groping and kissing women without their consent may not be authentic, and repeated that claim recently to an adviser.

According to a New York Times report published Saturday, Trump is open to the suggestion that the sexual misconduct allegations against Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore are false and politically motivated.

What's more, he views calls for Moore to withdraw from the Alabama Senate race as similar to those he faced after The Washington Post released the so-called "Access Hollywood" tape weeks before the 2016 presidential election.

Trump had acknowledged after the 2005 tape was released that it was his voice on the recording. He subsequently apologized for his comments, but sought to cast them as "locker room talk."

What kind of journalism is that?

He can be heard ... and seen, walking and talking ... no one spliced his body into it. It is HIM!

When you watch the video tape, you will not see Trump until he awkwardly tries to exit the bus. All of his "locker room talk" occurs as the camera in the parking lot records the bus arriving at the venue but you won't see Trump talking. During those exchanges, Billy Bush and Trump are aboard the bus and, one presumes, they were wearing wireless microphones that were synced to the camera.

Still, there's no question that the voice on the tape is Trump's. In fact, I think he's pretty proud of himself, the cad.

Plus, he's an idiot.

It's me but it's "locker room talk". Now it's the tape isn't "authentic".

Is the microwave listening in again?

Did the toaster tell the fridge that the dishwasher said the microwave said it wasn't true?

I used to wonder how Hitler brainwashed most of Germany. Trump supporters have given me much more clarity into that process. His supporters have weak minds and are unwilling to be accountable for their own failures. They also have a sense of entitlement and anger towards minorities more successful than them. These are the same traits as their traitor of a leader.

Don't know how he can undo what he's confessed to. Oh wait, it's 45, he'll get away with it.

The Dotard (damn I love that word) can't seem to remember what lie he told last, and therefore keeps tripping himself up. His avalanche of lies though, will come crashing down on him soon enough, and all the world will see him for the naked fool he is.

I can't even begin to express how much I detest him, nor how much I wish that the WORST of ALL POSSIBLE FATES ... would magically befall him.

I don't know what that would be, but whatever would suck the very most ... in HIS sick mind ... I wish with all my heart and soul, every fiber of my being ... would happen to him.

... I just can't see Trump saying the word "authentic." More likely, Trump said the tape was "fake."

I've been reading Arnold's twitter stream since yesterday and what he is saying seems fairly authentic since he is naming names.

I hope it is true.
