Former Miss Finland says Donald Trump grabbed her in 2006
https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-miss-finland-says-donald-trump-grabbed-her-in-2006-210304032.html

In a new interview, former Miss Finland Ninni Laaksonen says she was groped by Donald Trump 10 years ago. She is now the 13th woman in recent weeks to accuse the Republican presidential nominee of sexual misconduct.

According to the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat, which published its story Thursday, the incident took place in New York City in 2006, just before Laaksonen and three other Miss Universe contestants were set to appear alongside Trump on the “Late Show With David Letterman.” Trump owned the Miss Universe beauty pageant at the time.

“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen told Ilta-Sanomat. “Trump stood next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt. I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought, ‘What is happening?'”

Aaanndd… A Twelfth Trump Accuser Has Emerged

On Thursday, Ninni Laaksonen, 2006’s Miss Finland, became the twelfth woman to accuse Donald Trump of being a grabby, gross, dirty old philanderer.

She’s the eleventh that has credibility, since the sex industry worker from last week, Jessica Drake is not credible and should be laughed at and ridiculed for her mercenary idiocy.

Miss Laaksonen’s tale of Trump lechery appeared in Thursday’s edition of The Telegraph.
.....
Regardless, this is a pattern of disturbing stories. They can’t all be false.

(Except for the porn star’s story. She’s ridiculous.)

Laaksonen’s story actually gets even creepier.

“Somebody told me that [Donald] Trump liked me because I looked like Melania [Trump] when she was younger,” she said, referencing Donald Trump’s wife, whom he married in 2005. “It left me disgusted.”

How sad for Melania Trump (if you believe that a beautiful woman of 45-years old stays married to a lascivious 70-year old

I think another hundred of these broads can come forward and it won't matter. This issue is already baked in the cake. You either don't like Donny and believe them or like Donny and think they are lying.



Personally I'm neither. I hate Donny and don't believe most of these broads. There was plenty of time to come forward prior to the home stretch of the ballgame.

[Chosen Daughter]

Oh she must be a liar.  You know they all are.....yuuuuuuge liars.

[Frank Cannon]

Oh she must be a liar.  You know they all are.....yuuuuuuge liars.

I don't believe in coincidence. A decade to bring this to everyones attention and they all wait a couple weeks out from an election. We have tangible proof now that the DNC has been coordinating all sorts of black bag stuff against the GOP.

If these women want me to believe them, I'm not a player. There are enough real issue relating to the future of the country for me to hate him on.

It has actually taken the strength of these ladies, to tell their stories, that has given me the steel to announce that I am the 14th victim of Mr. Trump.  He grabbed my butt and drooled a tic-tac on my lapel one night 14 years ago at a golf event.  At first I thought a child had reached up and brushed my backside, because the hands were so tiny.  When I turned and saw Trump my initial reaction was to scream for a month.  Not a night goes by that I don't relive that event in my nightmares.

I believe some may be true. I also believe some are just trying to derail his campaign. When I got out of the military, my first job while in college was a CNA. Well, there was this male nurse that the female staff would flirt with and he would flirt back. Two weeks into my orientation, they had their normally scheduled staff meeting were some of the women complained that this male nurse made them feel uncomfortable with his flirting. I remember thinking, "but you guys flirt with him,also."

Fortunately, this guy wasn't at the staff meeting but an older lady was that quickly confronted these women over the fact that not only did they flirt with this guy but, in many instances, initiated it.

I think Trump has a belief in his mind that being rich and famous allows him certain " rights" when it comes to women but I do think some coming forward are looking for their 15 minutes.

Some probably are minimizing their role, but some almost certainly are not.  And do not forget that Trump did not simply confess to flirting, he confessed to sexual assault.  That is much, much different from the example you gave. 

[Longmire]

What happened to the "accuser" who swears she went on a date with Trump and he tried to kiss her?

The horror...

“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen told Ilta-Sanomat. “Trump stood next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt. I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought, ‘What is happening?'”

If this was indeed a photoshoot, then the pics of Trump next to Miss Finland exist somewhere.  Doesn't prove that he grabbed her but would provide credibility to the claim.

So, put up the pics or shutup.

[skeeter]

Trump's problem is he, more than the women, made the charges credible with the persona he tried to cultivate before as a just-one-of-the-boys billionaire eccentric. Its why he should've never made it this far.

But you are right, this stinks of Clinton campaign strategy.

I once had the misfortune of being assigned a temporary manager over a group which consisted mostly women, 14 of the 15 people.   The previous manager had hired based on looks so while they were attractive most of them couldn't do the job.

I was asked to give them daily training on how to do their job.   Which pissed them off because they didnt want to do their job and sure didnt want me training them.  So I'd walk into the room and they'd be talking about their double D's and other related topics.  It happened frequently.

One walked up to me, stuck her chest out and asked if she needed a boob job.   Another did the ole Basic Instinct chair turn and flashed her stuff.  In both cases I was smart/lucky enough to walk away.

What I didn't know is they did those things and then went down to HR to file a complaint.   When that didn't work two of them walked into the Sr VPs office and told him I was telling people they were having "whore parties" in their house. 

At that point I decided to go find a different job.    The point is that just like men, some women are good and some are trash.   In the workplace some women have no qualms about using sex to get what they want.   The problem is exacerbated if you are in a position of authority or are perceived as having a lot of money.

Nobody around here really knows whether all these claims from these women are true.  My guess is some are true and some are lies.  Those that are true may be a case where the women were flirting with him to get something they wanted.  Of course perhaps he really is just a dirtbag.  Its quite obvious he has many other character flaws.

At the end of the day what difference does it make.   He or Clinton will be our next President.   I doubt we'll have any freedoms left if she wins.

[Wingnut]

I think it is a proven fact Trump is a serial groper.  This is just piling on now.

[Night Hides Not]

I think it is a proven fact Trump is a serial groper.  This is just piling on now.

IMHO, this piling on can only hurt Hillary, because the "Trump is a serial sex offender" meme has played itself out.

Any tightening of the polls is partly due to the backlash against the media.

There it is.

BTW the put up or shut up wasn't directed at you.  Don't know if you took offense or not, just making sure.

This issue really doesn't differentiate between the candidates.

[ConstitutionRose]

There are a couple of supervisors in my past about whom I would be obligated to go public should they run for President.

The men on TBR are gentlemen of good character, so they are innocent  of some common male behaviors.  Given that, let me educated you to the fact that there are some males to whom you cannot even be polite without them assuming that you will welcome inappropriate behavior.

My experience colors my response to these women.  I am inclined to believe the majority of them.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I'll say the same thing to both her and Donny:


1) First a question: why didn't you mention this during the primaries?
2) Hard to deny what she said since Donny himself bragged about it.

Uh, wow.  I hadn't really looked at it quite from that angle before.  So yes, it may be true that he grabbed Ms. Finland in the ass.  It also may be true that she was deliberately flirting with him at the time so he thought it was okay.  That's a fairly plausible scenario, and doesn't require disbelieving either of them.  But if that's the case, it would put his actions in a different light -- at least to me.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

Did you believe Anita Hill?

The odd thing about her allegations was that she did not claim that his actions amounted to sexual harassment.  And she would know, given that she was a professor who taught classes on that.

[ABX]

Another he said / she said.

Who are you going to believe?

A woman who said Donald grabbed her by the *****.
Or Donald who bragged about liking to grab women by the *****.

A real confusing one who to believe at this point

Doesn't matter, Trump is toast.

[ConstitutionRose]

Did you believe Anita Hill?

No. If there had been a history of repeated accusations, I would have considered what she had to say.  But she was so freaking obviously out to get him.  I don't know who coached her, but my reaction was complete disbelief.

Trump is like the nice looking, nicely dressed man who used to walk up to women IN DC during lunch hour and ask you "do you want to xxxx?".  He used to grab on occasion also.  In other words, a serial offender.
