Pre-match rammy
A man was arrested for breach of the peace at Glasgow’s Renfrew Ferry yesterday at a pre-match party before Scotland’s game against Lithuania.
There have been calls from other Republicans for the 70-year- old to stand down over his obscene comments about women.
Trump was caught boasting in a 2005 recording about being able to grope women because of his fame.
He told TV host Billy Bush, a cousin of George W Bush, that when approaching beautiful women he can “grab them by the p***y” because he is a star.
He also said he pursued a married woman and “moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there”.
Speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan said Trump was no longer welcome at a campaign event with him in his home state of Wisconsin.
Ryan said: “I am sickened by what I heard. Women are to be championed and revered, not objectified.”
Despite uproar at his comments, Trump said the chances of him quitting were “zero”, adding: “I’ve never withdrawn in my life. No, I’m not quitting this race.”
Hollywood star Robert De Niro weighed in, saying he wanted to “punch him in the face”. The 73- year- old said in a video encouraging people to vote ahead of the election next month: “He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, a bulls**t artist.
“He talks about how he wants to punch people in the face. Well, I’d like to punch him in the face.
“This is somebody that we want for president? I don’t think so. What I care about is the direction of this country. If you care about your future, vote for it.”
Senior Republicans want Trump to drop out and let Mike Pence become the party candidate.
Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett Packard boss, said: “Donald Trump does not represent me or my party.
“I understand the responsibility of Republicans to support their nominee. Our nominee has weighty responsibilities as well. Donald Trump has manifestly failed in these responsibilities.”
Trump has received support from some party members, including Washington State Republican chairman Susan Hutchison. She said he was a “Democrat at the time the comments were made” and that he was “channelling Bill Clinton”.
The Republicans can’t remove Trump without his consent and even if he quits it is too late to replace his name on ballot papers.
In his apology, Trump said: “I’ve said some foolish things. But there’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has abused women and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims.”
