It's been more than seven months since the leaked release of a 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape featuring Donald Trump and Billy Bush crudely discussing women in an exchange that Trump later dismissed as "locker room talk." Bush recalled that in 2005, he was often with Trump, given that "The Apprentice" was a monster hit. Because it was Trump, Bush seemingly went along with the crass, dehumanizing discussion of women. Since his dismissal from "Today," Bush has processed the events the best way he knew how. "When you have a big, traumatic event, you go through stages, and it led to acceptance and understanding," mused Bush.
