People on Twitter don't like the look of that Billy Bush, always running around with his celebrity friends and causing trouble -- and now, with Melania Trump's help, he's being blamed for everything.

Why, just around a decade ago, he convinced an impressionable Donald Trump to admit to terrible acts of sexual misconduct. At least, that's how Melania portrayed the situation to CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday.

Speaking about the infamous leaked Access Hollywood footage from 2005, Melania said that her husband (then 59 years old) and Bush (then 33) were only engaged in "boy talk, and he was led on -- like, egged on -- from the host to say dirty and bad stuff."

Oh, that Bush boy is incorrigible! Apparently, Trump isn't the only person who was convinced by Bush to do naughty things, as evidenced by the #BillyBushMadeMeDoIt and #BillyBushMadeMe hashtags trending on Twitter.

Someone has to stop this real-life Dennis the Menace from corrupting our country's most vulnerable billionaires. Or, you know, people could take responsibility for their own words and actions.
