About a decade before running for president and hitting Hillary Clinton for her husband's past infidelities and enabling of that behavior, Donald Trump wrote that he did not need any survey to tell him that women enjoy sex as much as men — and "maybe more."

"Sometimes I can't believe researchers get paid to do these scientific studies. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars doing all this in-depth analysis and I could've saved them a heck of a lot of time and money," Trump wrote on his Trump University blog on Sept. 17, 2006, dishing out his opinion of the findings of a study, which he recounted as, "that when a man and a woman meet for the first time, men are more likely to think about sex than women."


Trump weighed in: "That doesn't exactly sound like a shocker, but I'm not so sure that it's correct."

"I've known lots of women and I think they're probably just as sexually oriented as men," he continued. "Some women are highly aggressive and they want sex, no different from men and sometimes worse. So I'm not sure if I personally believe these researchers."

Declining to get into the details of the study, such as its name or those who conducted it, Trump referred to "a very scientific study recently found that within five minutes of starting a conversation with a complete stranger of the opposite sex, most men think about having sex. They assume the woman is sexually attracted to them, even when there might be no interest there at all."

"Researchers found that men are notorious for misreading friendly behavior as a sure sign that there's some serious mutual sexual attraction. But, come on. Do any of us really need a scientific survey to figure that out?" Trump asked.

He concluded, "I'm going to continue to believe my own survey. Some women like it just as much as men. And maybe more."

The post's relevance to Trump University, a now-defunct education company that claimed to offer its students "practical lessons about real estate investing," is unclear.

The company was renamed "The Trump Entrepreneur Initiative" in 2010 after New York state regulators told Trump that use of the word "university" was "misleading and violates New York Education Law and the Rules of the Board of Regents," and has wound down its operations in the years since.

The Manhattan mogul is now facing two class-action lawsuits by former Trump University students who claim they were defrauded, in addition to a lawsuit from the New York state attorney general. That case is headed to the state's highest court on appeal and will be effectively delayed until after the general election. Trump, who has acknowledged in a deposition that he didn't know many of the instructors despite marketing materials describing them as "handpicked" by him, insists the school provided valuable advice and has said that several of the students previously praised the courses.

"They actually did a very good job, but I've won most of the lawsuits," Trump said during a GOP debate in February.
