"I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it," Trump is heard saying. "She was married. And I moved on her very heavily." | |
"Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look." | |
Later in the conversation, he told Bush he is "automatically attracted to beautiful" women and often tries to kiss them. | |
