He half way apologized saying it was nothing more than men\u2019s locker room talk. He\u2019s using the same strategy and that\u2019s why Kamala Harris\u2019s campaign is doing a great job in controlling his narrative for once. They started calling him weird. It\u2019s weird to say such things isn\u2019t it? They are starting to use his words and twist and turn them so people realize yea\u2014that does sound weird coming from a former world leader. Harris is getting to Trump and the more she does\u2014the more outrageous things he will start saying.
