(1,353 posts)While most of his comments were about pandering to the black crowd, I feel because the officer was a woman, it was somehow ok to criticize...like she couldn't possibly do her job well and she was scared or choked...
She obviously didn't do her job well but neither would a male officer who killed an unarmed man. Trump's comments are completely nullified with his later comment of stop & frisk...OMG...

(58,698 posts)We pretty much know Trump's opinion of women in general, so that would align with that perfectly.
Meawhile, he just pissed on the cops who recently endorsed him while he was at it.

(1,124 posts)He's a misogynist ... "poor little girl just choked or was scared". What an ass!
Ilsa
(61,697 posts)He might as well as called her incompetent to be a police officer five days a month, or claimed she's too emotional.
It seems to me that some police depts don't train their officers well enough.

(61,700 posts)Trump hates women.

(5,611 posts)(Like Melania --who vanished after the convention, which is extremely unusual for a prez candidate during campaign season -- the spouses always campaign also). Trump is a little boy, still, who is intimidated by strong women.
Of course in this case he HAD to comment to criticize the female police officer. If the cop had been a male officer we would NOT be hearing any criticisms from Trump.

(32,623 posts)I gasped when he said she choked. He wants the smear to transfer to HRC. He and his selective, calculated sexist outrage can kiss my behind.

(10,419 posts)Every time he opens his piehole his sexist, racist, butt-ignorant, meglomanical self manages to show itself no matter how his wranglers try to control him.

(1,910 posts)All of our family had the same reaction when we heard him say that. He tried to act like he cared about African Americans while really taking a shot by saying women fold when in a crisis. You could see through that one with ease.

(16,975 posts)who shot people. But the female cop gets the entire blame from him. It was very obvious what he was doing.

sarae
(3,284 posts)He followed his "analysis" by saying that "some people don't have what it takes" to be a police officer. Clear as day what he means.
