Reporter says Trump once bragged there is 'nothing in the world like first-rate p—y'

During an interview with a now-shuttered golf magazine, President Trump told a reporter there is "nothing in the world like first-rate pussy," the former journalist, Michael Corcoran, told The Daily Beast.

Trump made the comment after he spotted a "young socialite" eating dinner at his Florida club Mar-a-Lago, Corcoran said. Corcoran was assigned to write a profile on Trump for News Corp.'s Maximum Golf magazine in 2000, and he followed Trump around for a few days. He said he used the quote in the ending of his profile, but the magazine's editor-in-chief removed the obscenity and replaced it with "talent." Corcoran's editor, Joe Bagmann, backed up this account, telling The Daily Beast he was "asked to change the last word of the story from 'pussy.' When I refused, my top editor changed the quote."

Trump seems to have a fondness for the word, having been caught on tape bragging to former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about groping women, being able to "grab 'em by the pussy" because he was famous, among other recorded uses. The White House did not respond to The Daily Beast's request for comment.
