Melania Trump’s former best friend said she and the first lady laughed during the 2016 campaign after the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape came out a few weeks before the 2016 election which caught Donald Trump on a hot mic bragging about sexually assaulting women. “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them,” Trump said in the 2005 recording released by The Washington Post in October 2016. “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…Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” The tape nearly upended his presidential bid and caused many Republicans to withdraw their endorsement of Trump.
