(…)

But in a 2010 episode of his reality TV show, Trump had little patience for what he deemed a “locker room” remark made in the boardroom by professional wrestler Maria Kanellis — and terminated her on the spot.

“Isn’t it sort of gross bringing that up? It’s, like, disgusting,” Trump said, in reference to a comment Kanellis made about another contestant’s bodily functions.

"This is my board room. It’s not a locker room. Maria, you’re fired.”

Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.

He was bragging to another man about how he just couldn't resist groping beautiful women.

That kind of makes him a predatory groper.

someone's genitals is not the same as "locker room" talk. Not just ironic that he scolds locker room talk, but an indication of the distinction between "locker room talk" and the description of grabbing females genitals because they will let you because of one's stardom.
