Trump Once Fired a Contestant for “Locker Room Talk”

Written by SK Ashby

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has defended his boast that he likes to grab women "by the pussy" without consent by dismissing it as "locker room talk," but Trump once fired a contestant on The Apprentice for engaging in locker room talk.

Trump fired professional wrestler Maria Kanellis after she made a comment about contestant Curtis Stone and his bowel movements.

“Isn’t it sort of gross bringing that up? It’s like disgusting,” Trump said. “This is my board room. It’s not a locker room. Maria, you’re fired.

The problem for Donald Trump is that A) he's been on camera for over 30 years and B) he has contradicted or embodied virtually every possible defense he could make for himself and every attack he could launch against his opponents.
