Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is learning the hard way what not to do to secure the faith of a nation he is trying to become the president of.
The controversial comments he's expressed over the years are now coming back to bite him in his sweet 'ass' as media channels everywhere are reporting new revelations on a regular basis.
After sourcing two decades of on-air interviews between Trump and radio host Howard Stern - who is no saint either - CNN has published excerpts of the candidate repeatedly commenting on his daughter's body.
At this point in time I would like to point out that Stern has a habit of putting words into Trump's mouth. That's not excusing what was said or suggested here, but it's worth bearing in mind nonetheless.

In an interview with Stern in October 2006, the topic of conversation steered towards his then 21-year-old daughter. After a bit, the host of the show commented on his daughter's chest. At this point, the majority of fathers would have told the host where to go, or stormed out. Not Trump though. "She's actually always been very voluptuous," he replied.
In a similar setup two years earlier, Stern said, "By the way, your daughter. Can I say this? A Piece of ass." Trump replies in his careless nature, "Yeah." - this Stern bloke is obsessed.

In 2005, the same presenter asked whether or not Trump had ever engaged in sex with Miss Universe contestants. Stern tried to work out what Trump would do if one of the pageant girls asked him for sex. "I don't want to hurt their feelings," Trump replied. "It could be a conflict of interest, but you worry about that later."
Another exchange in 2002 touched on a woman's 'perfect age'. Trump jested that 35 was 'check out time', albeit after much misogynistic banter was given from both sides of the mic.
The recordings come as the final straw for many Republican leaders who have backed away from their endorsements of the Party's nominee at an unprecedented rate. With just one month before election day, Hillary Clinton jumped at the opportunity to release a statement about the new clips. "This is horrific," she recently tweeted amid Trump's groping allegations. "We cannot allow this man to become president."
Trump's daughter has not publicly addressed the new clips, yet.
There really isn't much more Trump can do to jeopardise his chances of finally securing the top seat in the White House. Only America get's to make that decision.
