Trump's Trouser Problem
Donald Trump's 'trouser problem' continue to gather pace as more young women make allegations about the old goat's sexual behaviour - ranging from having illicit affairs and trying to shut the women up afterwards with 'non-disclosure' agreements to an accusation of sexual assault.
The man's not known as President Skankypants for nothing you know.

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who claims she had an affair with President Donald Trump in 2006, has said he tried to pay her for sex.
In an interview with CNN, Ms McDougal revealed that she cried on the way home after Mr Trump offered her money during their first encounter.
She also apologised to the president's wife Melania for the alleged 10-month affair, saying: "I'm sorry. I wouldn't want it done to me."
Mr Trump has denied the affair.

Ms McDougal signed a deal worth $150,000 to tell her story exclusively to a tabloid newspaper in 2016.
However, the article was never published and Ms McDougal insists she was tricked into silence about the relationship.
She is now suing the publication to end the deal.
Ms McDougal is one of three women who have launched law suits over affairs or sexual assault claims involving the president.
These are the other two:
The porn star: Stormy Daniels

Porn actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, says she and Mr Trump had a sexual relationship lasting several months in 2006.
She says that she was paid $130,000 (around £92,000) by Mr Trump's lawyer to remain silent about the affair just before the 2016 election.
Ms Clifford has now filed a lawsuit which aims to scrap the agreement, which her lawyer says she was physically threatened into accepting.
Earlier this year, an interview she gave to InTouch magazine in 2011 about her alleged relationship with Mr Trump resurfaced.
A polygraph test from the interview obtained by CBS News concluded that she had been "truthful" in her account.
The president has denied any sexual relationship with the actress.
His lawyers are now suing Ms Daniels for $20m (£14m) for breaching the non-disclosure agreement.
An interview with Ms Daniels is due to air on CBS News on Sunday.

The Apprentice contestant: Summer Zervos

Summer Zervos, a former contestant on The Apprentice, was one of a number of women who made allegations of sexual misconduct against Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential race.
She accuses Mr Trump of sexually assaulting her at a Beverly Hills hotel in 2007.
Ms Zervos says that he groped her and "began thrusting his genitals" during a meeting to discuss employment opportunities.
While president-elect, Mr Trump dismissed the allegations against him and said that Ms Zervos and other accusers were "sick" and driven by fame, money or politics.
Ms Zervos filed a defamation law suit against Mr Trump in January 2017, but his lawyers argued that as the president he could not be sued.
A judge in New York has now overturned that decision, meaning that Ms Zervos's case against the president will continue.

President Skankypants (03/03/10)
I would say that Alec Baldwin wins his latest Twitter spat with Donald Trump game, set and match, if this report from CNN is anything to go by.
Baldwin's comment about Trump and porn stars was an absolute killer.
Baldwin's comment about Trump and porn stars was an absolute killer.
For a new found and supposedly devout religious believer Trump ought to be known henceforth as - President Skankypants!
Here's the most popular cartoon of 2016 from Kevin Kal Kallaugher, whose work is published in The Economist Magazine.
Apparently the title of the cartoon is 'C'mon Babe' which does the President-elect Donald Trump justice, I'm sad to say.
"Grab them by the pussy" is locker-room banter according to Donald Trump, but it's not the kind of foul language or ugly mindset that you'd expect from a professional person never mind someone aspiring to become President of the United States.
So the race for the White House has been dragged into the world of sexual predators by the unguarded comments of the Republican nominee while his 'partner in crime', a TV presenter named Billy Bush, has been suspended by the NBC Today programme.
NBC has said there is "simply no excuse for Billy's behaviour and language on that tape", yet Trump carries on after issuing a perfunctory apology which completely ingress the fact that he was in a professional setting at the time and nowhere near a locker-room.
To their credit most of the Bush family have said they will not be voting for this buffoon and while Trump's poll ratings are taking a well-deserved hit, especially among women voters, I suspect there's much more to come in the days ahead.

Ghastly Old Groper (07/01/17)
President-elect Donald Trump assumes office in just over a week and his reputation as a ghastly old groper is firmly cemented in the mind of the world's cartoonists.
But to be fair Trump has rather brought this on himself with his ugly talk about women which he tries to dismiss as 'locker-room' banter.

US TV host Billy Bush has been suspended from NBC's Today show after a video tape emerged in which he and Donald Trump made lewd comments.
Today executive Noah Oppenheim wrote in a memo to the morning show's staff that there is "simply no excuse for Billy's language and behaviour on that tape".
Mr Bush has said he was "embarrassed and ashamed" at the remarks.
US presidential candidate Mr Trump has also apologised for the obscene comments made in the 2005 tape.
In the video, Mr Trump was on a bus talking to Mr Bush - then host of NBC's Access Hollywood - ahead of a segment they were about to record.
Mr Trump says "you can do anything" to women "when you're a star" and also brags about trying to grope and kiss women.
Mr Bush tells Mr Trump at one point "the Donald has scored" and also comments on a woman's "good legs".

The presenter, who is the first cousin of former President George W Bush, has since said: "It's no excuse, but this happened 11 years ago - I was younger, less mature, and acted foolishly in playing along. I'm very sorry."
Top Republicans have condemned Mr Trump for the comments. His election rival Hillary Clinton called them "horrific".
The Republican party nominee has said "these words don't reflect who I am... I apologise".
Bush joined the Today team in August, having been anchor of Access Hollywood since 2009 and co-host of Access Hollywood Live since 2010.
Mr Oppenheim said that there would be a "further review" of the matter and did not say how long Mr Bush would be suspended for.
