He denies everything, but the emails we have paint a different picture lol.
And the audio is him admitting to groping a specific person.
Are the two situations the same?

So Trump bragging to someone about admittedly vulgar shit is the exact same as specifically discussing a person you groped?
Bragging: excessively proud and boastful talk about one's achievements or possessions.

Um, Trump was bragging about groping women and being able to get away with it because he's rich/famous. He wasn't speaking hypothetically, he was bragging about what he's done and can do. So how is that different?Bragging: excessively proud and boastful talk about one's achievements or possessions.
👆 It's the same exact thing Weinstein did.
Oh and here is from a letter Harvey sent to Hollywood execs:
"Allow me to resurrect myself with a second chance. A lot of the allegations are false, as you know, but given therapy and counseling as other people have done, I think I’d be able to get there. If you can, I need you to send a letter to my private Gmail. The letter would only go to the board and no one else. What the board is trying to do is not only wrong but might be illegal and would destroy the company. If you could write this letter backing me getting me the help and time away I need and also stating your opposition to the board firing me, It would help me a lot. I am desperate for your help. Just give me the time to get therapy. Do not let me get fired. If the industry supports me, that is all I need.”
So yeah, where do we begin? As you can see, he says "a lot" of the allegations are false. Not "all" of them are false. He then goes on talk about needing therapy. He mentions this again at the end too.
This is not the same as Trumps situation. I'm sorry to burst that bubble for the folk who were wishing otherwise, but it's not. Right here Harvey himself acknowledges not everything has been false. He acknowledges he needs therapy and begs for Hollywood to support him saying all he needs is the industries support.

Weinstein's said what he's did is wrong, but all the sexual ongoings were with consent 👆 (granted, he's lying imo)So what's your next excuse in why Weinstein's sexual predatory habits are somehow different than Trump's?
See my above post, straight from Weinsteins email he sent out. "A lot" of the allegations are false. Notice he doesn't say they all are. Consensual sex is not any of the allegations.
Anything else?

He's said all the sexual stuff was consensual, but wrong, cos you know, married women, with boyfriends etc. Of course he's lying, but that's not the point right now.So what's your excuse in how his sexual predatory habits are different than Trump's, when we have Trump bragging about them?
Lol in the email he says "a lot" of the allegations are false. Consensual sex was not something he was accused of. What I am telling you here is he said one thing and in an email begging for help he said another.

Lol but...these are his own words begging for help. His own words show that not all of the allegations are false. How is this hard to get? I realize you really thought you had a "gotcha" here and it just got ripped away, but do you feel continuing to ignore this and ask "what's your excuse" is going to do anything?
Covered: In Trump's own words he "doesn't wait" and does what he wants, because his fame/fortune allow him to get away with it. Trump's even bragged about walking into teenage beauty contest where the girls are changing/nude. (eww)
“You know they’re standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that.†-Trump on Howard Stern 2005
