There are more lewd Trump tapes from The Howard Stern Show and maybe The Apprentice
The graphic audio clip of Donald Trump released Friday is not the only recording of the GOP nominee speaking in sexually explicit terms. Archival audio from Trump's many appearances as a guest of shock jock Howard Stern hear the candidate discussing, among other topics, his daughter Ivanka's body, whether to have sex with women during their menstrual cycles, and threesomes.
In one exchange about Ivanka, Stern suggests she "looks more voluptuous than ever," and inquires whether she has had breast implants. "She's actually always been very voluptuous," Trump replies. "She's tall, she's almost 6 feet tall and she's been, she's an amazing beauty." The conversation ends with Stern asking Trump if he can call his daughter "a piece of ass," and Trump gives his approval.
Meanwhile, on Saturday afternoon, Bill Pruitt, formerly of Trump's Apprentice reality show, posted a tweet alleging there are "far worse" comments from Trump in the show's private archives.
