Referring to
Arianne Zucker (whom they were waiting to meet), Trump says:
I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything.
Trump's first public response came in the form of a written statement published on his campaign website:
This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago.
Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course - not even close. I apologize if anyone was offended.
Fahrenthold, David A. (October 7, 2016).
"Trump recorded having extremely lewd conversation about women in 2005".
The Washington Post.
Trump, Donald (October 7, 2016).

So my source is either the actual sound recording, or if you prefer, Trump's later admission and apology. You don't mind if Trump himself is my source right?
