  the artist was wearing his full drag queen apparel at the time, and he says trump clearly mistook him for a real woman.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  “i had just come out of the bathroom when trump jumped on me and kissed me”, he explained. “he started grabbing my ass and pulled my dress up to grab my genitals. he suddenly became very angry. he started yelling and cursing, and he left the party.”
