On Thursday at 4 p.m., a ten-yard stretch outside of Trump Tower in Manhattan felt like the stands of a high school football game, if the stakes were much higher, the stands were metal barricades, the coaches were police, and one teams fans chanted Lock-her-up!
I was curious to see who would respond to the mysteriously under-advertised graphic posted Wednesday on the Facebook page for Women for Trump New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, faction operating under the larger Women For Trump coalition. When I arrived, I found 50 or so women, many between ages 50 and 70 and identifying as working or retired suburban mothers, holding purple Women for Trump signs. Many of them hadnt heard of Wednesdays anti-Trump Pussy Power protests; theyd just come to show that moms and women outside the city have political opinions too.
On her way out of the barricades, I caught Zulma, whod been holding a Latina for Trump sign and stopped to give me a quick spiel on immigration. Women are the ones affected by open borders, she said. Last year 70,000 women were assaulted by illegal immigrants. I have two daughters, and Ill be damned if that happens to them, she said. That good? She marched off.
Barbara, a black minister from Harlem, believes that Obama and Clinton are godless in their stances on marriage equality and abortion, and shes tired of the same Democratic games. If Trump hated women so much, how could he be married three times? she asked. The Democrats who are accusing him are probably the same ones shacking up around the corner. And watching pornography!

Women, in some other parts of the world, are much more submissive to men.

(25,862 posts)But he absolutely does not respect them. He thinks he loves them because he judges every single woman he sees on whether or not he wants to bed her, or at least grope her. And those he deems too ugly he still doesn't hate. They are simply nonentities to him.
Just my take.

(6,148 posts)If Trump hates women, he doesn't know it. I'm sure he thinks he loves women. He certainly loves looking at them, loves kissing them, loves touching them. He takes liberties that he believes are his due as a billionaire, he doesn't see anything wrong with it.
So, I find hate an inappropriate word. He has no idea how to take women seriously, their needs and issues seriously, their privacy and boundaries seriously. He is completely lacking in respect for us. I think the only time that he might hate us is when we foil him, or insult him, or better him in some way. He would hate the woman who did it, he would hate that it happened. So I guess he likes us IF we know our place.
The man is 70 years old. His views should surprise no one.

(9,527 posts)I don't agree that he can use his age as an excuse for his behavior. I think that if he can't deal with women he can't control to the point where he has to insult, belittle or stop himself from sexually assaulting them, then hate is an appropriate word. I think it manifests itself differently than say a serial killer who hates women, but I think it fundamentally comes from the same place.
But I don't think it's limited to women. I think it's basically anybody he can't control.

(16,928 posts)...likes fights so much, why wasn't he in the service?
...loves our country so much, why doesn't he pay a fair share of taxes to support it?
...loves jobs so much, why does he ship them all overseas?
...hates losers so much, why has he declared bankruptcy 4 times?"
I'm seeing a trend here......................
