It's about power.
It's about how you treat those whom you have power over.
The Trump apologists miss the point of the Access Hollywood tape. They focus on the vulgar language used - which is offensive - and compare it to crude talk in a locker room.
It's not about that. It's about a guy who, because of his wealth and position, thinks he can assault people. He grabs people, kisses people, walks unannounced into a dressing room where people are nude. Trump is exercising his power over them. He is saying that your desires, modesty, dignity are unimportant.
(I bet that he never did it to women in powerful positions)
It's about how I can do whatever I want to you.
Because he is lording his power over them. They are chattel to him.
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power".
Abraham Lincoln

I agree. Authoritarians are like that. Some people don't respond well to authoritarian rule. I'm one of them.
