It looks like Hillary Clinton is going to make it to the President post in America. In a debate brimming with tension, Hillary Clinton declared Donald Trump’s aggressively vulgar comments about women revealed “exactly who he is” and clearly demonstrated his unsuitability to be president. Firing back, Trump accused Clinton of attacking women involved in her husband’s extramarital affairs and declared she would “be in jail” if he were president.
Donald Trump entered Sunday night’s debate desperate to steady his floundering campaign. He unleashed a barrage of attacks and insults, and continually interrupted Clinton. He repeatedly called her a “liar,” labelled her the “devil” and contended she had “tremendous hate in her heart.”
Trump acknowledged for the first time that he had paid no federal income taxes for many years.
The debate was the culmination of a stunning stretch in the race for the White House, which began with the release of a new video in which Trump is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to “do anything” to women. Many Republicans rushed to revoke their support, with some calling for him to drop out of the race.
Answering for his words for the first time, Trump denied that he had ever kissed and grabbed women without their consent. He said repeatedly that his words in 2005 were merely “locker room talk” and paled in comparison to what he called Bill Clinton’s abuse of women.
“She should be ashamed of herself,” Trump declared. Ahead of the debate, the businessman met with three women who accused the former president of sexual harassment and even rape, then invited them to sit in the debate hall.
Bill Clinton never faced any criminal charges in relation to the allegations, and a lawsuit over an alleged rape was dismissed. He did settle a lawsuit with one of the women who claimed harassment.
