President Donald Trump on Saturday said that he has known movie mogul Harvey Weinstein for years and that he is not surprised about the sexual harassment allegations made against Weinstein this week.

“I’m not at all surprised to see it,” Trump told White House reporters about the allegations against Weinstein, per the White House pool report.

Trump’s comments on Weinstein came on the one-year anniversary of the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape that revealed Trump making lewd comments about grabbing women by the genitals.

Asked about the tape Saturday, Trump again dismissed it as “locker room” talk, as he did on the campaign trail last year.

  1. He looks terrible now—and not just because the lack of regular hair-dyeing.
    Very often he has a terribly vacant expression on his face. It could be fatigue, or it could be dementia, but it is scary.

  2. Donnie: I taught him all he knows… Only the best…

  3. If he knew…shouldn’t he have said something?

  4. This was the time to ask him what he knew about Epstein.

    It would have been smart for Trump, considering his own history, to not comment. To take the high road. But of course not. He and his idiot son Jr. have to jump right in, demonstrating a complete lack of introspection in the process. But go right ahead. The more they talk about Weinstein’s behavior, the more others think of Trump’s - our actual moronic President.
