Peter Baker and Dylan Freedman in NYT: ‘His [Trump’s] focus on the male anatomy, for instance, has become remarkably pronounced lately.
“I don’t do this with men very often,” Mr. Trump said at a rally with Senator Jon Husted, Republican of Ohio, on Oct. 12. “I started examining his body because I didn’t know he was a great athlete. And I looked and I watched up and down. I looked at his ass.” Five days later, he repeated his appreciation of Mr. Husted’s backside. “I examined his ass,” Mr. Trump said at a rally in Kentucky. “I never did that with, no, I never did that with a man before.” Three days later in North Carolina, he praised Mr. Husted’s derrière again. (…) In Chillicothe, he did it again: “I started by looking at his ass.”’

For the president, the elections are all about Mr. Husted’s derrière. Fair enough.
