International Women's Day and Trump

Happy International Women's Day, ladies!
I thought a fun way to celebrate would be to list just a few of Trump's chauvinistic, insulting and disparaging comments he has made about women through the many years of his unsavory public life.
Lest we forget who we are dealing with here....

1. In a May 1991 Esquire magazine profile, Trump said this in lieu of his recent bad press: "You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. But she’s got to be young and beautiful."

2. "You’re disgusting." Trump hurled at the woman lawyer who asked to take a break during a deposition, to pump breast milk for her 3-month-old daughter.

3. He insulted New York Times columnist Gail Collins. Trump sent her a copy of one of her columns, in which she called him a "financially embattled thousandaire," he circled her columnist picture and added a note saying, "The Face of a Dog."

4. He has insulted Arianna Huffington on several occasions, "Arianna Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her husband left her for a man- he made a good decision."

5. He felt it necessary to tweet that Bette Midler is an extremely unattractive woman.

6. He has called Rosie O'Donnell, among other things, crude, rude obnoxious and dumb. “Rosie O'Donnell is disgusting, both inside and out. If you take a look at her, she's a slob. How does she even get on television? If I were running The View, I'd fire Rosie. I'd look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers and say, 'Rosie, you're fired.'

7. Trump has been quoted as saying that women who seek abortions should receive "some form of punishment" if abortions become banned. He has since renigged on this, but hey, he put it out there, this he can't deny.

8. Trump has attacked Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren repeatedly calling her "goofy," (goofy, really??) "a fraud," and, like Clinton, someone who is "playing the woman’s card."

9. He obviously had a weird problem with the fact that Miss Universe Alicia Machado had put on weight. During the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton called out Trump for his history of chauvinistic comments. In particular, she called attention to Trump body-shaming Machado, whom he has called "Miss Piggy," "Miss Housekeeping," and an "eating machine."

10. Megyn Kelly has often been a target of his inappropriate comments...
After the first debate Trump called her a “bimbo”in one of his inimitable tweets.
He later implied her tough line of questioning was because she was menstruating.
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever,” he said.
He has also called Ms. Kelly “really weird, “crazy,” “the most overrated anchor,” “very bad at math,” “dopey,” “so average in every way”“Never worth watching”“sick”“the most overrated person on TV,” “Highly overrated” and a “lightweight.”

11. This is what he had to say about former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina....
 “Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that?
“Can you imagine that, the face of our next next president? I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

12.He has insulted the German ice skating champion Katarina Witt..."Wonderful looking while on the ice but up close and personal, she could only be described as attractive if you like a woman with a bad complexion who is built like a linebacker".

13. He, of course hit Hillary hard during the campaign, implying that if she couldn't satisfy her husband, how could she satisfy the USA? At a rally, he also called her an enabler to Bill Clinton's affairs “Bill Clinton was the worst in history and I have to listen to her talking about it?" he said in Eugene, Oregon. “Just remember this: She was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler.

14. In an interview with New York Magazine in 1992 , Trump uttered this charming phrase about women: 'You have to treat 'em like s----'.


 15. And of course the all time low..
the  emergence of a video in which he discusses "grabbing (women) by the p****" and states that “when you’re a star, they let you do it”. Wonder what they let you do when you are president?
President Trump, before he was of course our elected commander in chief, is seen using lewd and sexually aggressive language to brag about groping and trying to have sex with women, including someone who was married, in footage obtained by the Washington Post.
In the video, Trump was recorded talking about a woman, who, thankfully for her sake remains unnamed, to Billy Bush, who was then a host for TV entertainment show Access Hollywood.
“I moved on her and I failed. I’ll admit it,” Trump says. “I did try and f--- her. She was married.
“And I moved on her very heavily... I moved on her like a b----, but I couldn’t get there."

So these are just a few of the President's comments over the years. Do we really have to ask if an International Women's Day is still relevant? What does this say about our society and what women have achieved when a man like Trump is sitting in the oval office? Pretty sad.
