I questioned the same thing but when you listen to the tape, there is definitely someone else in the bus and someone had to be holding a camera when they were getting off the bus.
I'm not shocked by Trump's vulgar language or disparaging comments about women. I would expect that. What I didn't expect is he would allow such a tape to be made. This was incredibility stupid on his part. Although in 2005, he was a showbiz celebrity and the image this tape creates would not be damaging then, you would think he would have some vision of his future where such an image would be devastating.
What all this means is Trump isn't as smart as he claims. He can't seem to remember his position from one day to next thus he makes conflicting statements. His stream of consciousness babble in his interviews is a strong indication that he's very unorganized. His business is not as successful as he claims and his personal life is completely undisciplined. How can anyone believe this guy would make a good president? Yes, I know he has a good spiel. That's his bread and butter.
Without a doubt there is somebody else on the bus: the person who recorded him. The question is whether Trump knew he was being recorded and if it was done illegally. Because Trump was a celebrity at that time too, and he would have known quite well if he was indeed being recorded or not. And if so, I doubt he would have said the things he did.
I suspect that he had no idea he was being recorded. As for what took place outside of the bus, of course that was planned. And if he had no idea he was being recorded, the person(s) responsible should be held liable if not criminal if they broke any state laws.
Nobody said Trump would make a good President. Neither would make a good President. But with our freedoms hanging on the line, it's important to keep Hillary out no matter who she's running against.
