'I've never said I'm a perfect person': Donald Trump apologizes for 'words released' on Friday that were captured on a hot mic in 2005 - where he boasted his celebrity status allows him to do 'anything' to women

I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them.

Anyone who knows me, knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.

I've travelled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I've spent time with grieving mothers who have lost their children, laid off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future.

I have gotten to know the great people of our country, and I have been humbled by the faith they have placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow, and will never, ever let you down.

Let's be honest, we're living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we are facing today.

We are losing our jobs, we're less safe than we were eight years ago, and Washington is totally broken.

Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground. I've said some foolish things, but there is a big difference between the words and actions of other people.

Bill Clinton has actually abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims.

We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday. 

Trump: ‘You know and I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it.

‘I did try and f*** her, she was married.’

Other voice: ‘That’s huge news!’

Trump: ‘No, no, Nancy. No this was – And I moved on her very heavily in fact I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture”.

‘I took her out for furniture. I moved on her like a b***h, but I couldn’t get there, and she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony t*ts and everything.

‘She’s totally changed her look.’

Billy Bush: ‘Sheesh, your girl’s hot as s***. In the purple.’

Multiple voices: ‘Whoa! Yes! Whoa!’

Bush: ‘Yes, the Donald has scored. Whoa, my man!’

Trump: ‘Look at you, you are a p***y. OK, you and I will walk down.’

Trump (speaking about actor Arianne Zucker): ‘Maybe it’s a different one.’

Bush: ‘It better not be the publicist. No, it’s her.’

Trump: ‘Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic-Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet.

‘Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything.’

Bush: ‘Whatever you want.’

Trump: ‘Grab them by the p***y. You can do anything.’

Bush: ‘Yeah those legs. All I can see is the legs.’

Trump: ‘Oh, it looks good.’

Bush: ‘Come on, shorty.’

Trump: ‘Oh nice legs, huh?’

Bush: ‘Oof, get out of the way honey. Oh, that’s the good legs. Go ahead.’

Trump (getting off the bus): ‘It’s always good if you don’t fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?’

Bush (after Trump knocks on the window for someone to open the door): ‘Down below. Pull the handle.’

Trump (to Zucker): ‘Hello, how are you, hi.’

Zucker: ‘Hi Mr Trump. How are you?’

Trump: ‘Nice seeing you. Terrific, terrific. You know Billy Bush?’

Bush: ‘Hello, nice to see you. How you doing, Arianne?’

Zucker: ‘I’m doing very well thank you. [To Trump] Are you ready to be a soap star?’

Trump: ‘We’re ready, let’s go. Make me a soap star.’

Bush: ‘How about a little hug for the Donald? He just got off the bus.’

Zucker: ‘Would you like a little hug, darling?’

Trump: ‘Absolutely. Melania said this was OK.’

Bush: ‘How about a little hug for the Bushy? I just got off the bus. Here we go, excellent. Well you’ve got a nice co-star here.’

Trump: ‘Good, after you. Come on Billy, don’t be shy.’

Bush: ‘As soon as a beautiful woman shows up he just, he takes off. This always happens.’

Zucker (waving to Bush): ‘I’m sorry, come here.’

Bush: ‘Let the little guy in here, come on.’

Zucker: ‘Yeah let the little guy in. How you feel now? Better? I should actually be in the middle.’

Bush: ‘It’s hard to walk next to a guy like this. Yeah, you get in the middle. There we go.’

Trump: ‘Good, that’s much better.’

Zucker: ‘This is much better. This is…’

Bush: ‘Now if you had to choose honestly between one of us. Me or the Donald?’

Trump: ‘I don’t know that’s tough competition.’

Zucker: ‘That’s some pressure right there.’

Bush: ‘Seriously, you had to take one of us as a date.’

Zucker: ‘I have to take the Fifth on that one… I’ll take both.’

Trump (near the Day of Our Lives studio): ‘Which way?’

Zucker: ‘Make a right. Here we go.’

Bush: ‘Here he goes. I’m gonna leave you here. Give me my microphone. ‘

Trump: ‘OK. OK. Oh, you’re finished?’

Bush: ‘You’re my man. Yeah.’

Trump: ‘Oh, good.’

Bush: ‘I’m gonna go do our show.'
