Donald Trump himself said his views on women meant he should never "run for political office"

(This is mild. Not a biggie, I'm pretty sure)

A New Zealand TV station has discovered archive footage in which Donald Trump himself said his views on women meant he should never "run for political office".

The Republican presidential candidate has been defending himself in the past few days after audio tapes were released in which he could be heard making sexually aggressive comments about groping women.

In a live TV debate against Hillary Clinton on Sunday night, Mr Trump dismissed the 2005 comments as "just words" and "locker room talk", suggesting they did not impact on the real issues of running for president.
