Melania has proffered[another explanation](http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/17/politics/melania-trump-interview/index.html)for Mr. Trumps disgusting words - it boils down to

“Donald is just a little boy, who engaged boy talk, and can’t be expected to act like an actual man”

With a side helping of;

“Those other boys made him do it”

B/c if there’s one thing men like to make up to make themselves look macho around other men, it’s how they took a woman furniture shopping (ooooh, baby, talk to me about ottomans and breakfronts, I’m a puddle!) and then failed to have sex w/ her. I’m pretty sure that’s the plot of every porn.
