'PRESIDENTIAL GROPE-FUL'

Donald Trump ‘grabbed and went for guest’s lips at Mother’s Day brunch’

US presidential wannabe Donald Trump has been accused of grabbing and trying to snog a woman at a Mother's Day brunch as she tried to fight him off.

Cathy Heller's disturbing account is the latest in an avalanche of allegations from women claiming Trump groped or kissed them without their consent.

Ms Heller, 63, has said the encounter took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in 1997,

Her husband, their three children, and her in-laws were among dozens of families seated at huge round tables.

The Republican candidate is said to have been doing the rounds speaking to everyone when he stopped to chat with Heller's mother-in-law.

Speaking of when she was introduced to Trump, Heller said: "He took my hand and grabbed me, and went for the lips".

Heller, who lives in New York, also claims she nearly fell over as she leaned back and tried to twist free to avoid him.

Trump is said to have barked: "Oh, come on" before grabbing her and going for her lips again.

Heller added that when she turned her head he planted a kiss on the side of her mouth.

She continued: "He kept me there a little too long, and then he just walked away."

Speaking about how she felt after the ordeal, Heller said: "I was angry and shaken.

"He was p*****. He couldn't believe a woman would pass up an opportunity."

She added that he seemed to feel "entitled" to kiss her.

Heller has revealed she is a Hillary Clinton supporter who would not have backed Trump regardless of how he behaved when they met.

She also donated the maximum amount of money of $2,700 to Clinton's presidential campaign, and

Heller's friend Susan Klein and a relative who was sat at the table have backed-up her claims.

The relative told the Guardian she remembered Heller was "really freaked out" and added: "He was very forceful. She really was definitely affected by this man who was aggressive towards her."

Heller says her encounter with Trump nearly 20 years ago has never been far from her mind, and added: "Even before the news, that was something we've talked about."

Trump's campaign spokesman Jason Miller said in a statement:"There is no way that something like this would have happened in a public place on Mother's Day at Mr. Trump's resort.

"It would have been the talk of Palm Beach for the past two decades."

Heller has been sharing her alleged with friends and family for years but has spoken out in the wake of the "Trump Tapes", in which the real estate mogul was recorded bragging about groping women's private parts.

After the tapes were released by the Washington Post, Klein emailed Heller and said: "I keep thinking about how he treated you.

"Obviously not an isolated incident."

Trump's alleged treatment of Ms Heller mirrors what he said in the recordings when he boasted: "You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women - I just start kissing them.

"It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait.

"And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."

Trump put it down to "locker room talk" but a chorus of eight other women have since come forward to accuse of inappropriate come-ons, touching, or unwanted kissing.

The real estate billionaire has slapped the women down as "horrible horrible liars".
