I would remind everyone that the Billy Bush recording is not the only evidence of Mr. Trump's views. When asked about his daughter and sexual harassment in the workplace, he remarked that Ivanka was too strong to be sexually harassed and that, if she were, she would find a new job (I hope I'm paraphrasing fairly). That's appalling.

So what aren't we doing in culture to change this? What do you propose?
He apologized for what he said, he's a New Yorker with an ego trip.This was condemned by him and pretty much everybody. This was 11 years ago, a lot has happened since then. If you go back to the 60's I bet you could find a racist public figure too.
I think that he's saying that she wouldn't appeal to some victim status, which seems to be the culture these days with all this anti-bullying and what not. If it is that bad and it won't stop, I guess finding another job is one way to stop it. When you have people that are fallaciously crying victim like what happened in Seattle not long ago with BLM and the whole Hugh Mungus thing, it kind of illegitimizes the whole sexual misconduct thing.
