Watch Full Episode

You know, throughoutDonald Trump's historic campaign

to insult as manydemographic groups as possible,

he's reserved some of hismost dickish comments for women.

Uh, but Trump's misogynyeasily predates the election.

In fact, it's pretty muchhis only consistent belief.

And recently, his long trailof anti-female remarks

were featured in a super PAC adthat's been running

in primary statesacross the country.

-"Bimbo."-"Dog."

"Fat pig."

Real quotes from Donald Trumpabout women.

"A personwho is very flat-chested

is very hard to be a ten."

"You know, it really doesn'tmatter what they write,

as long as you've got a youngand beautiful piece of (bleep)."

"That must be a pretty picture,you dropping to your knees."

"Women-- you haveto treat them like (bleep)."

Like... princesses?

-(laughter)-What did they bleep?

What was that?Was it, like,

"You got to treat themlike princesses"?

"Like queens"?What are they...

Do you guys bleep out the word"queen" in this country?

What was that?Obviously, Trump was saying

you have to treat womenlike (bleep).

Although, although...

in the interest of fairness,

Trump insiststhat he never said that.

And you once said thatthe best way to treat a woman

-is to treat her like doody.-No, I never said that,

but it was attributed to me.

I see. So you treat womenwith respect?

-Uh, I can't say that, either.-All right.

(creepy laughing)

Wow. Trump's an asshole,but, uh...

he's honest.

Yeah. He's honestly an asshole.

-Uh... now...-(laughter, whooping, applause)

to many...these remarks about women

might seem disqualifying,but Trump, surprisingly,

doesn't see the problem.

Has your languagecome back to haunt you?

No. I don't...I think people understand.

Look, these politicians,I know them--

they say far worsewhen they're in closed doors

or where they're with a groupof people that they trust.

Yes! And that's what closeddoors are for, Donald Trump!

So you don't say these thingsin public.

You know, this is almost worse,because it means

that you're not ashamedof what you're doing.

You're like a guy masturbatingon the subway,

looking at everyone else,going, "Oh, get over it!

You all do this at home!You all do this at home!"

(applause)

There are so many examplesout there

of Trump's gross perspectiveson women--

they're practically endless--but there's one special clip

we came across that demonstrates

just how completely innatethis attitude is.

And so... to the archives.

-I could do this all day.-I doubt I'll ever be involved

-in politics beyond what I donow. -And I really believe in...

-in trashing your enemy.-I mean, I'd look her

right in thatfat ugly face of hers,

I'd say, "Rosie, you're fired."

Ah, poetry.

(laughter)

Now, I'm pretty surenobody has seen this clip

since it airedover 20 years ago,

uh, because it's not online.

It's from a 1994 episode

of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,

in which host Robin Leachasks Donald Trump

and his second wife,Marla Maples,

an innocent question about theirone-year-old daughter Tiffany.

Donald, what does Tiffanyhave of yours

and what does Tiffany haveof Marla's?

Okay, now, now, take a second.

You guys are all human beingshere, right? Right?

Just take a moment to thinkabout how you might answer

this question about your baby.

Yes? Uh, you guys havean answer in your head, maybe?

-Yeah? You got an answer?Okay, okay. -Yeah. -Yeah.

Well, let's see how Donald Trumpanswered this question.

Donald, what does Tiffanyhave of yours,

and what does Tiffany haveof Marla's?

Well, I think thatshe's got a lot of Marla.

She's really a beautiful baby,and she's, uh,

she's got, um...she's got Marla's legs.

We don't know whether or notshe's got this part yet,

but time will tell.

(groaning, laughter)

(laughter)

(laughter)

-(laughter)-Could you...

sorry, could you putsomething else? That is so...

-Yeah, that's...-(laughter)

I'm sorry, that's...

(laughter)

So, I've...

I've watched that Trump clipmaybe 20 times now,

but every time I do, I just needto take a quick breather

to remember... that good thingsstill exist in the world.

-(laughter)-I, uh...

Okay. (babbles)All right, cool.

All right, we're back.

-So, uh, yes. Uh...-(laughter)

So, yes, back in 1994,Donald Trump was asked

what attributes his one-year-olddaughter shared with his wife.

He could have said anything...

and he went with...

legs and possibly...

boobs?

Which is...

not the correct answer.

(laughter)

In fact, we would have acceptedpretty much any other body part,

like eyes, nose, mouth,

even something random,like shoulders, gums,

like whatever this thing isin the middle of your fingers,

like, this thing,whatever you...

We know for sure that there's no female too small

for Trump not to reduce her to her body parts.

We know this.And... and I don't even think

that Trump was tryingto be funny or provocative.

It just clearly showsthat it's an impulse for him.

It's like word association.

Your wife. "Boobs."

Your infant daughter. "Boobs."

Amelia Earhart.

"Vanishing boobs."

The Statue of Liberty.

"Inspirational boobs."

(laughter)

But knowingwhat we know about Trump,

it makes perfect sense,you know?

To him, every womanis just a pair legs

connected to a pair of breasts,

and there's a bunchof extra stuff in the middle.

But it's not sexy and no oneknows what it's for, really.

And, you know,normally a candidate

who views women this waywould be doomed--

but Trump is nota normal candidate.

And we know that.We know that airing this clip

will change nothing.

All we ask,all we ask is one thing--

the next time you're about tohand Donald Trump your baby...

maybe reconsider.
