Read Every Horrible Thing Donald Trump Has Said About Women and Tell Me He’s Not a Sexist
Dylan Matthews, Vox: Read every horrible thing Donald Trump has said about women and tell me he’s not a sexist
Sometimes Trump’s misogyny is passed off as a fun quirk, a sign of his peculiar over-the-top persona. “People talk, ‘oh your father’s a misogynist look what he said about women,’ like, on Howard Stern,” his son, Donald Trump Jr., has griped. “When he gets with Howard Stern, who’s a friend of his, he’ll joke around, because it’s a comedy show. He’s allowed to have a personality. He will.”
But this is not Trump “having a personality” or “joking around.” It’s time to start treating his comments about women with the seriousness and gravity that his comments about race have, quite correctly, received. When Trump says he wants to keep Muslims out of the country, it’s not a funny goof. When he says it’s important to treat women like shit, it’s not a funny goof either.
Trump is undoubtably the worse human being to ever be a major party nominee for President, and considering that Richard Nixon is on that list, that’s saying something.
