I feel like what he said was fine. What the interpreter said was fucked up.
But "I came to grope and I ain’t leaving" is pretty on brand for several of our presidents in the last 30 years.
Wait, several? The most I can think of is 2 (because Bush, as terrible as he was, doesn't seem like the kind of guy to have this flaw).
The coked out, drunk frat boy vibe isn't a bit rapey? Also you know the whole credibly accused thing and questionable links to Epstein like a lot of politicians.

To be honest I don't know anything about Bush Sr. He's before my time and doesn't have as strong a personality to get in by cultural osmosis the way Clinton (who was the first US president I was alive for, but when I was far too young to have any memories of it) does.
That said, the comment above said the last 30 years. That means Bush Sr isn't in the running, unless I've miscalculated something.
They just can't comprehend 30 years ago was 95.
As someone in their early 30s…neither can I.
Don't worry I'm right there with you.
I just can't comprehend how people could be commenting on a subject but be uninformed about the things that happen within their lifespan.
Both jr and sr were accused of rape and sexual assault and both have links to Epstein like most politicians.
That's both he and his son, I didn't think the one that happened in your lifetime would be the one I'd need to cite.

Pretty much US foreign policy, if you ask me.
But they are usually less open about it.
