That Donald Trump uses vile, crude and disgusting language to demean women might just be the least disturbing aspect of his character. Everyone, his supporters included, know who The Donald is and this latest example of his misogyny comes as no surprise.

But what the subtext of the recently leaked video reveals is even more worrying: His claim to special privilege. In his remarks, he makes the observation that he can get away with sexual assault because he is a rich celebrity. "I just start kissing them," he boasts. "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."

These few lines reveal a deeply disturbing and diseased mindset. The Donald believes he can commit sexual assault with impunity because his celebrity status places him above ethics, above morality, above the law. "Grab 'em by the pu**y. You can do anything," he proudly proclaims.

If Trump believes his B celebrity status gives him license to commit multiple felonies, then just imagine what heinous, unthinkable crimes he might he feel free to commit, such as to start a nuclear war, if he were to become President of the United States, the biggest celebrity of them all?
