1. 'Sexism' on the set
Donald Trump consistently behaved in a lewd and sexist manner on the set of his long-running reality show the Apprentice, according to more than 20 people interviewed by AP. “Totally false,” the Trump camp said.
'You'd fuck her, wouldn't you?'
We were in the boardroom one time figuring out who to blame for the task, and he just stopped in the middle and pointed to someone and said, ‘You’d fuck her, wouldn’t you? I’d fuck her. C’mon, wouldn’t you?’”
The person continued: “Everyone is trying to make him stop talking, and the woman is shrinking in her seat.”

On Saturday, Trump made one of his most bizarre appearances yet, musing about Hillary Clinton’s sex life and imitating her falling down, and urging supporters to watch polling stations on election day “because of you know what I’m talking about.”
Summary
That was a day after Trump woke up in the wee hours to rant about a nonexistent sex tape featuring a former beauty queen he had publicly shamed for gaining weight. It was “among the worst weeks of any recent presidential campaign,” the pundits thought.

6. Obama ties Trump to Palin
I see a straight line from the announcement of Sarah Palin as the vice-presidential nominee to what we see today in Donald Trump, the emergence of the Freedom Caucus, the Tea Party, and the shift in the center of gravity for the Republican Party ... it just seems to get worse.
