“I wouldn’t, in any circumstances, have any interest in you.”

It is hard to decide which part of Trump’s self-defense is more absurd and less self-exonerating: the part where he suggests that he was merely explaining to Billy Bush the regrettable history of men using their fame to sexually abuse and exploit women, or the part where he suggests that such abuse may be. Fortunate! Neither part quite makes Trump seem like a credible defendant who disapproves of sexual assault.

Then, unprompted, Trump goes on to assess Kaplan’s sexual desirability. “You wouldn’t be a choice of mine either, to be honest with you. I hope you’re not insulted,” he said.This is the former president up to all his old tricks: low-key glorifying sexual assault, attempting to demean a woman wielding power in his vicinity by delivering a sexist, sexualizing insult. None of it should surprise anyone who has paid attention to Trump’s conduct over the course of his life.

“That’s Marla, yeah. It’s my wife,” Trump says in the video, pointing to a photo taken in the 1980s. He is pointing to a woman who is depicted chatting with him in a group that includes his then-wife Ivana and Carroll’s then-husband John Johnson. The woman he is pointing to—while calling her his “wife”—is Carroll herself. Trump only realizes that he has mistaken his accuser for his ex-wife Marla Maples when his lawyer corrects him.

A rush of E. Jean Carroll v. Donald Trump exhibits have been released — including the former president's video deposition.
