Jessica Leeds said the Republican nominee grabbed and tried to kiss her while they were on a plane in the 1970s

Donald Trump sexual abuse accuser Jessica Leeds says she ruefully “laughed out loud” when the former president recently disputed her sworn testimony that he grabbed her, tried to kiss her and ran his hand up her skirt on a plane in the 1970s by insisting “she would not have been the chosen one”.

“He assaulted me 50 years ago and continues to attack me today,” Leeds said alongside her attorneys during a press conference in New York on Monday. “It was like he had 47 arms – like an octopus, but not a sound was spoken.”

Her remarks came after Trump appeared at an appeal hearing on the sexual abuse case brought by E Jean Carroll, which resulted in a jury finding Trump liable of sexually abusing and defaming Carroll.

    “I MOVED ON HER LIKE A BITCH, BUT I COULDN’T GET THERE, AND SHE WAS MARRIED…”

    “YOU KNOW I’M AUTOMATICALLY ATTRACTED TO BEAUTIFUL, I JUST START KISSING…”

    “WHEN YOU’RE A STAR THEY LET YOU DO IT, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING, GRAB THEM BY THE PUSSY”

    —Donald John Trump

    I figured if we had nothing to say to each other he would get bored; go away. But instead he uses it as an excuse to put his testicles all over me.

    Excuse me?

    [Leeds ]
    You know, like octopus? Testicles?

    [Reporter ]

    Joke. This is a movie quote.

            Of course, and over the loudspeaker too! More fun tidbits are the radio playing nothing but breakup songs, the little brother with his “hobbies”, Booger pondering the street value of the mountain of “snow”, mom learning how to make French food (Peru!) and dad always getting the young-folk phrases wrong. The jokes are littered everywhere. I will also always remember Taylor Negron’s performance as the disinterested and careless mailman (RIP).

            Obviously I love this film.

              This was originally a setup for an inflation joke but after I posted it I checked and realized it would be closer to 6 with inflation. Ah well.

      Is it a quote from the Trump biopic?
