Americans are reacting to an article published recently by New York Times, captioned: "Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately", in which two women accused the Republican Party flag bearer of "Touching them forcibly".
Reacting to the accusations, Donald Trump said the accusations are "pure fiction and there are outright lies. these events never ever happened"...
In the report viewed as capable of causing great damage to Trump's presidential ambition, one of the accusers identified as Jessica Leeds stated that Donald Trump has been acting in such manner his entire life. "...He's been this way his entire life, I don't believe he is going to change"...
Lawyers believed to be acting on Donald Trump's behalf wrote New York Times, asking that it remove the story termed as "reckless, defamatory and constitutes libel per se", from its website and issue a full and immediate apology.
A demand the New York Times declined on the grounds that nothing in the said article had the slightest effect on Trump's reputation, which himself, through his own words and actions, has not already created from himself.
NY Times stated in its reply, that they acted in accordance with the law, by "publishing newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern"....
NY Times further stated that..."If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American Citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticise him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight".
Commenting on the allegations, United States First Lady, Michelle Obama express disappointment in Trump's conducts, saying the accusations shook her to the core "...This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexual predatory behaviour and actually bragging about kissing women using language so obscene that many of us were worried about our children hearing it when we turn on the t.v. And to make matters worse, it now seems very clearly this isn't an isolated incident....." She said.
