Donald Trump once said he’d spotted his future girlfriend on an escalator — when she was only 10.
The would-be-groper-in-chief made the stomach-turning joke in 1992 when “Entertainment Tonight” taped a Christmas special in Trump Towers.
Trump, then 46, makes a brief appearance and asks a group of 10-year-old girls if they’re going to take the escalator, according to the footage, reported by CBS News Wednesday.

One girl pipes up with a happy “Yes!”
“I’m going to be dating her in 10 years,” Trump leers to the camera. “Can you believe it?”

The sickening segue wasn’t even the worst news to break about Trump Wednesday. Several women came forward to say Trump had groped them against their will — just days after the Republican candidate said his vulgar 2005 boast that he could grab women “by the p—y” was just “locker room talk.”
She said he began to fondle her, grabbed her breasts and tried to snake his hand up her skirt.
“He was like an octopus,” Leeds, 74, told The Times. “His hands were everywhere. It was an assault.”

Former receptionist Rachel Crooks, meanwhile, said she ran into the misogynist mogul in Trump Tower in 2005.
She claims Trump grabbed her and began slobbering on her cheek, and then kissed her on the mouth.
“I was so upset that he thought I was so insignificant that he could do that,” Crooks told The Times.
Trump issued a blanket denial Sunday night’s debate when asked if he’d ever acted on his bullying brag.

“It’s just words, it’s just words,” he insisted. The bombastic businessman also denied the allegations put forth by Leeds and Crooks, The Times said.
“None of this ever took place,” Trump, 70, shouted at The Times reporter.
A third woman also came forward to the Palm Beach Post Wednesday to say she’d been groped by Trump years ago at his Florida resort.
Mindy McGillivray, 36, said she was manhandled in 2003 while working as a photographer’s assistant at an event at Mar-a-Lago.
“Donald just grabbed my ass,” she told a companion right after he groped her, the newspaper said.
Former beauty pageant contestant Cassandra Searles also spoke up Wednesday, claiming Trump repeatedly grabbed her buttocks and begged her to come to his hotel room, NBC reported. Searles, the 2013 Miss Washington, described Trump as a misogynist who treated contestants like cattle.
The campaign manager for Democratic rival Hillary Clinton said in a statement the new allegations “fits everything we know about the way Donald Trump has treated women.”
