Back in the day............ I have friends who are sailors, construction workers,

office workers, retail workers, truck drivers, heavy equipment drivers,

and friends with many other professions.

I have partied with 1 famous politician.

I have partied with 1 famous guitar player.

I have drank tequila shots in a bikini with 14 sailors. I only knew

one of the sailors.

Not one, not one of these men tried to kiss me or grab my pussy.

Donald Trump is disgusting, evil, and dangerous.

He sickens me.

This was a long time ago and newspapers were still done in hot type, which meant that blocks of lead type had to be fitted into a lead frame that eventually went to the printing plans. This work was done in the composing room.

The printers who worked there for the most part were great guys and there was a lot of banter back and forth. There was one creepy guy who did try to come on to me (he later died of a heroin overdose), but the other guys tried to make certain I was never alone with him. Even he was less crude than Trump, thought I did not welcome his advances.

Maybe I wasn't groped or kissed or raped because these were actual businessmen who had morals and ethics. Trump doesn't have either.
