Donald Trump groping remarks reveal 'pattern of sexual assault', says Kaine

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/09/donald-trump-groping-remarks-sexual-assault-tim-kaine-debate This article is about the recent scandal involving Donald Trump who was found recorded by a microphone in Hollywood during 2005 about boasting his sexual relations with women. This article is about Donald Trump's public apology about the matter. The article shows ways in which this scandal has negatively effected Trump such as losing the support of multiple republicans, and even having been told to step down now in the position that he's now in. Despite the article title suggesting being against Trump, the content of the article seems to humanise him, one example of this is the first person account from Giuliani, someone from the Trump campaign, saying that his apology was honest and sincere. However being that this is an article by a left wing news outlet, the article is definitely positioning Trump as one people should be against, this is bolstered by the main title of the article, which suggests that Donald Trump's words in 2005 were very harmful. In my opinion I think that this scandal is hardly surprising, and I honestly expected Trump to be someone that'd say these things and respond in the way it is. But these are also words from over six years ago and they shouldn't be used to reflect Trump now, especially when there's more than enough stuff that he's said in the present day that you can hold against him.
