Trump has exposed what gets said when alpha male biz men are negotiating

By his own admission, Trump is the greatest negotiator - ever. He claims that the country needs a non-politician, biz genius like himself to fix things.

Well, I think we all saw and heard the kind of language that these very successful bizness men use when they are negotiating. We've learned from the horse's mouth (ass?) that powerful males can say and do whatever they want to women. Trump is only stating what is common knowledge and discussion in the hoity toity locker rooms of the upper crust bizmen, of whom Trump is only the most-visible example.

I'm sure Trump is shocked to see men who think and speak about women the same way he does fleeing his sinking ship, the same way a klansman would be shocked were he publicly denounced by a person who he last saw as they both donned their hoods for the monthly cross burning.

Why else tweet that the RW politicians denouncing him are hypocrites?

I have been around some very wealthy business people (married into money, also founded my own high tech company and sold it for a pile of money)... and nobody... not one... has talked like Donald Trump.. not in the boardrooms, the country clubs, on the golf course, no where.

Been in a meeting were this type of crap broke out. Had to leave,if this the way the CEO speaks,I did not want his business,our ethics code mandated zero tolerance for this type of behavior. BTW,this fellow is under SEC investigation as I write. Can only hope for the worst.

and NEVER even once did anyone talk like the Con. I've asked my husband and several other male friends if they ever experienced that kind of talk, even when they were young and their hormones were raging. They ALL said NO! I'm sure there are men thst frequently talk like that, and I'm SURE all of them are the same narcissistic, egomaniacs as the on man is.

men, but you might be right that the RW politicians were right in there with him with this shit and that's what he is referring to when he accuses them of hypocrisy.
