It's Friday. You just want to unwind and forget about your worries. And forget about the election, which surely cannot get any more bizarre—except it can, because Donald Trump was apparently in softcore porn.
According to BuzzFeed, the alleged billionaire and reality television star who could very well be the next President of the United States had a role in an explicit 2000 Playboy video.
Trump’s role in the video is described as "relatively benign," thankfully not including any nudity and centering around him "breaking a bottle of champagne on a Playboy-branded limo while several of the playmates are visiting New York City."
Meanwhile, the naughty movie focuses on two characters named Carol and Darlene, with scenes featuring fully nude women in sexually suggestive positions, dancing naked, touching themselves (and each other) while naked and of course rubbing themselves with honey. You know, the usual presidential stuff.
News of Trump's involvement in the Playboy film comes as earlier today the Republican presidential nominee—yes, the presidential nominee!—attacked former Miss Universe Alicia Machado for appearing in what he referred to as a “sex tape," which is actually grainy night-vision video of her having sex while appearing on a reality show.
Many Trump supporters will likely look the other way on this or explain it away as just one of his many immune, pre-presidential candidate exploits, but just imagine if Hillary Clinton had appeared in a similar film. Or even just a regular movie with two people caressing. Fox News would probably be in a meltdown of historic proportions.
