共和党总统候选人川普在今年早些时候曾表示：“没有人比我对妇女更尊重”（There’s nobody — nobody — that has more respect for women than I do）。然而，华盛顿邮报和NBC新闻在星期五曝光了一段川普用淫秽语言谈论妇女的视频。这段谈话发生在2005年10月某日（不久前川普刚与他的第三任妻子Melania Trump结婚），当时川普和电视节目“Access Hollywood”主持人Billy Bush正乘坐该节目的专用大客车，去客串一部肥皂剧。视频录制者只拍摄了客车的外景和川普等人下车后的活动，但是车内一个麦克风却录下了两人的谈话。
这段谈话一经公布，立即引来轩然大波。各界人士纷纷对川普侮辱妇女的言论进行口诛笔伐，认为这等于是对妇女的sexual assault。这个在第二次总统候选人辩论前两天发生的突发事件，已经成为对川普选战的重大威胁。
那么川普究竟说了些什么？让我们来看一看（我将引用英文原文，以免引发歧义）：
Donald Trump: You know and I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. Unknown: She used to be great. She’s still very beautiful.
Trump: I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it. I did try and f*** her. She was married.
Unknown: That’s huge news.
Trump. No, no, Nancy. This was— And I moved on her very heavily in fact. I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture. I took her out furniture. I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there, and she was married.
Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big, phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.
[The men spot Arianne Zucker waiting for them outside the bus]
Bush: Sheesh, your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.
Trump: Whoa! Yes! Whoa!
Unknown: Yes! The Donald has scored. Whoa, my man!
Trump: Look at you. You are a pussy.
[crosstalk as the bus doors open and close - Trump is still on the bus]
Trump: Maybe it’s a different one.
Bush: It better not be the publicist. No, it’s her. It’s —
Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful - I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.
And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.
Bush: Whatever you want.
Trump: Grab them by the p****. You can do anything.
Bush: Yeah those legs, all I can see is the legs.
Trump: Oh, it looks good.
Bush: Come on, shorty.
Trump: Oh, nice legs, huh?
Bush: Oof, get out of the way, honey. Oh, that’s goo legs. Go ahead.
Trump: It’s always good if you don’t fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?
[Trump knocks on the bus door to get out]
Bush: Down below. Pull the handle.
Trump: Hello. How are you? Hi.
Arianne Zucker: Hi Mr Trump. How are you?
Trump: Nice seeing you. Terrific, terrific. You know Billy Bush?
Bush: Hello, nice to see you. How you doing, Arianne?
Zucker: I’m doing very well, thank you. Are you ready to be a soap star?
Trump: We’re ready, let’s go. Make me a soap star.
Bush: How about a little hug for the Donald? He just got off the bus.
Zucker: Would you like a little hug, darling?
Trump: Absolutely. Melania said this was okay.
Bush: How about a little hug for the Bushy? I just got off the bus. Here we go. Excellent. Well you’ve got a nice co-star here.
Trump: Good. After you. Come on, Billy, don’t be shy.
[The three of them start walking towards the set]
Bush: Soon as a beautiful woman shows up he just, he takes off. This always happens.
Let the little guy in here, come on.
Zucker: Yeah let the little guy in. How you feel now? Better? I should actually be in the middle.
Bush: it’s hard to walk next to a guy like this. Yeah, you get in the middle. There we go.
Zucker: This is much better. This is—
Trump: That’s better.
Bush: Now, if you had to choose honestly between one of us. Me or the Donald?
Trump: I don’t know, that’s rough competition. That’s some pressure right there.
Bush: Seriously, you had to take one of us as a date.
Zucker: I have to take the Fifth on that one. Yep. I’ll take both. （来源：http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/read-donald-trumps-lewd-remarks-about-women-on-days-of-our-lives-set-2005-groping-star-a7351381.html）
在汹涌而来的批评声中，川普在星期五接连发出两次道歉。第一次是通过他的竞选班子发出的： “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.”
（来源：http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/trump-caught-on-video-making-lewd-crude-remarks-about-women/）
这个道歉似乎是在说：这种谈话本来就是胡侃，比尔·克林顿说的黄话更露骨，你们怎么不管啊？
于是这个道歉被批评为“不诚恳”。迫于形势，川普于星期五晚上在Facebook上发布一个视频，再次道歉：
"I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize.
I have traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I've spent time with grieving mothers who've lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country and I've been humbled by the faith they've placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.
Let's be honest, we're living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we're facing today.
We are losing our jobs, we are less safe than we were eight years ago and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground. I've said some foolish things, but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday."

这次川普终于说了“我错了，我道歉”，但是强调不能根据那些错话就判断他的为人。他认为应该更关注国计民生的大问题，而不是这类小事。此外，他再次提及比尔·克林顿玩弄女性，并说希拉里是比尔的帮凶。这样的道歉似乎也不能平息众怒，反而有火上浇油之虞。 严重的后果已经显现：四名共和党国会议员宣布撤销对川普的支持，而共和党大佬、众议院议长Paul Ryan取消了星期六川普参加他竞选活动的计划，并表示川普的言论令他厌恶。今后几天，这个事件恐将继续发酵。 也许有人会怀疑：为什么一段11年前的谈话，在总统候选人第二次辩论前夕被抛出来炒作？这后面会不会有精心设计的阴谋？当然这种可能不能排除，然而还是要看川普到底说了什么。打个比方：如果有一位“中国人民的老朋友”被爆出曾经私下说过“杀光中国人”之类的话，这样的话恐怕现在也不能被接受。 很想问问那些支持川普的女士们：你们难道真愿意川普这样的人当总统吗？
