Another video snares Trump
Print Edition
A 23-year-old video interview unearthed in New Zealand shows Donald Trump talking about his womanizing image and saying it was fortunate he didn’t have to run for political office.
The video was released by New Zealand’s TV3, which conducted the 1993 interview. At the time, Trump was making an ultimately unsuccessful bid to start a casino in New Zealand.
In the video, interviewer Owen Poland asks him: “On a more personal level, a lot of people have this image of you as a high-rolling tycoon associated with glamorous women. Is that the sort of image you enjoy of yourself?”
Trump responds: “No, I don’t enjoy that image. I guess I have that image. I think women are beautiful, I think certain women are more beautiful than others, to be perfectly honest. And it’s fortunate I don’t have to run for political office.”
The video follows the release of a 2005 tape in which Trump brags about kissing women and grabbing their genitals.
The latest video was just a 30-second clip and not the full 1993 interview.
Poland, now a freelance journalist, recalls Trump being open about his personal life.
“It’s funny how 23 years later a one-liner like that, which is what it is really, kind of comes back and bites you,” Poland said.
New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key, who had described Trump’s 2005 comments as “indefensible,” was asked about the latest video. Key said he hadn’t seen it but had heard about it, and added: “It’s all on a bit of consistent theme, really, isn’t it?”
