In what should come as no surprise to anyone Donald Trump objectified women behind the scenes during production of "The Apprentice" and the Miss USA Pagent.

Courtesy of New York Post:  

The staffers and contestants agreed to recount their experiences as Trump’s behavior toward women has become a core issue in the presidential campaign. Interviewed separately, they gave concurring accounts of inappropriate conduct on the set. 

Eight former crew members recalled that he repeatedly made lewd comments about a camerawoman he said had a nice rear, comparing her beauty to that of his daughter, Ivanka. 

During one season, Trump called for female contestants to wear shorter dresses that also showed more cleavage, according to contestant Gene Folkes. Several cast members said Trump had one female contestant twirl before him so he could ogle her figure. 

Randal Pinkett, who won the program in December 2005 and who has recently criticized Trump during his run for president, said he remembered the real estate mogul talking about which female contestants he wanted to sleep with, even though Trump had married former model Melania Knauss earlier that year: “He was like, ‘Isn’t she hot, check her out,’ kind of gawking, something to the effect of ‘I’d like to hit that.'”

I think this anecdote best sums up Trump's interaction with women on the show:  

A former crew member, who signed a non-disclosure agreement and asked not to be identified, recalled that Trump asked male contestants whether they would sleep with a particular female contestant, then expressed his own interest. 

“We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, ‘You’d f— her, wouldn’t you? I’d f— her. C’mon, wouldn’t you?'” 

The person continued: “Everyone is trying to make him stop talking, and the woman is shrinking in her seat.”

There are of course those who worked on the show who are coming to Trump's defense, but when you take into account that everybody associated with the program signed a non-disclosure agreement it is hard to take their defense seriously.

Especially since these allegations tie in so well with what we have already seen and heard about Donald Trump.

Such as this behind the scenes audio of Trump acting like a POS while talking about the contestant's looks:

TMZ obtained an audio tape recorded during the pre-show screening portion of the 2009 pageant, in which Trump can clearly be heard exercising "The Trump Rule" -- which guarantees a certain number of "beautiful" women will advance in the contest. 

On the tape, Trump explains that when he "bought" the Miss USA pageant, "the most beautiful people were never chosen. And I went nuts." So, according to the audio, Trump implemented "The Trump Rule" -- in which he and his staff of "professionals" would select "almost half" of the women who would automatically make it into the first round of the contest.

At this point I think I would find it very hard to disregard ANY negative stories about how Trump treated women.

      Donald Trump’s Creepy Ogling Of His Daughter Happened More Than You Think

      So what? Do you think he would use her now that she does so much for him with women vote? This is a woman that has blessed this man with 3 grand babies. Never forget that. Stop bringing up the past. The future is with the children.

      For some, it's the scholarships. If you've got the body and face, it's a way to get a college scholarship and other stuff without actually working for it. For a few it opens doors in modeling or acting. I imagine for many it's a narcissistic pleasure. A few might even use it to snag a wealthy husband above their social class.

    OT? "Of Trump’s last three construction projects, the first to use Chinese steel was Trump International Hotel Las Vegas, which opened in 2008.With such layers upon layers of corporate shells and divisions, builders like Trump can purchase their steel from less-expensive Chinese suppliers without the ultimate supplier being readily apparent. That steel was then used in the construction of the Las Vegas property.The beneficiaries of trade dumping are users of the material, like Trump, who save significant sums of money on construction, thus increasing their profits. The losers are the American competitors like aluminum producers who cannot possibly compete with foreign companies that are willing to take losses on the sales of their building materials in hopes of driving companies in the United States out of business.the only beneficiaries of his decisions to go with cheaper Chinese metals for his construction project are Trump and his family"

      "“Today’s report that Trump’s organization did business with a sanctioned Iranian bank—one that has played a role in supporting Iran’s nuclear program and supported groups like Hezbollah and Hamas—shows yet again that Trump puts his own business interests ahead of the national interest. This report exposes Trump’s hypocrisy on Iran. As with Cuba, he talks a big game but when it comes to making a buck, he’ll deal with anyone."

      Sorry, but it is not a one-time mistake that he made as a young and inexperienced man. He has a long and sordid pattern of cheating, breaking contracts and refusing to pay people for their work.

      He has proven over and over again that he has no respect for women or anyone who is not rich, white, male and Christian. He has publicly demeaned nearly every demographic of this country and expected everyone he comes into contact with to worship and obey him.

      He is, and always has been, a vile, disgusting pig and nothing will change that. He has repeatedly declared he has little use for or interest in children so there's no reason to think a grandchild will make one iota of difference in his personality.

    To add to what is written above:

    $ Gene Folkes of Wylie, Texas, a former candidate on the reality television show "The Apprentice," said he also remembered that Trump “asked one of the women their breast size at one point, or said, ‘are those real or natural?’ ” (JOHNNY CLARK)

    $ “If there was a break in the conversation, he would then look at one of the female cast members, saying ‘you’re looking kind of hot today, I love that dress on you,’ then he would turn to one of the male cast members and say ‘wouldn’t you sleep with her?’ and then everyone would laugh,” said a former crew member

    $ . “There would be about 10 or 12 cameras rolling and getting that footage, which is why everybody was like, this guy just doesn’t care.”

    Trump would carry on with the questions even if all involved were married, said Gene Folkes, who appeared on the program in 2010.

    “If you didn’t answer, he would dig in and say, ‘Do you think so and so is attractive? Would you sleep with her? Well, what about if you really had to, would you?’” Folkes said. “It was so bizarre, because he (otherwise) seemed so professional.”

    Folkes said he also remembered that Trump “asked one of the women their breast size at one point, or said, ‘are those real or natural?’”

    $ Jim Dowd, who did public relations for Trump, NBC and The Apprentice shows between 2003 and 2009, said Trump was a “lover of women” and a “guy’s guy.”

    $ “Was he complimenting the women? Of course. Was he behind closed doors with just the guys rating the women, who were the hotter ones on the show? Yes, he certainly was prone to that,” Dowd said.

    $ Eight former crew members said Trump took a fancy to a particular female camera operator, and frequently gave her attention that made many on the set feel uncomfortable.

    $ Two former crew members said the woman made it clear to them privately that she did not like Trump’s comments.

    $ Walker, the former producer, said it was clear Trump was attracted to the camera operator as far back as 2003.

    $ "Everyone is trying to make him stop talking, and the woman is shrinking in her seat."
