Serial sexual predator and accused rapist President Donald Trump is notorious for his flagrant handsyness with women, even in the most public of settings. It’s clear that not even the presidency has instilled one iota of restraint in him, if these Instagram posts are anything to judge by.
A series of photographs posted to a pro-Trump account appear to show the president crashing a wedding and then crudely attempting to kiss the bride while her husband watches.

The look on the groom’s face says it all.

While the president and his defenders will doubtlessly wave this away as just a friendly peck on the cheek, the grotesque look on the President’s face as his fingers make their way towards the bride’s breasts paints a horrifying portrait of the leader of this nation.
Once again, we are shown how Trump’s sense of entitlement to women’s bodies and the objectification of women as sexual vessels existing solely for his pleasure is a constant theme in any examination of Trump’s behavior, a product of his internalized misogyny and wildly overblown sense of self-importance.
Trump’s sex assault accusations include fondling the breasts of a strange woman seated next to him on an airplane to trying to kiss a woman in an elevator at Trump Tower during the workday to attempting to rape a PEOPLE magazine reporter while his pregnant wife was upstairs.
His inability to control himself and his utter contempt for women’s personal boundaries are beyond deplorable but are sadly far too familiar traits among old white conservative men; the fact that he still won the election despite his widely-publicized history of sexual predation is an indictment of American society as a whole.
Social media users had a field day with the photos:
in hindsight, inviting the "grab them by the pussy" guy to my wedding was *not* such a great idea
