Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is on record saying some of the most incredibly disgusting things to, and about, women. A two-minute video compiled by The Democrats on Twitter (@TheDemocrats) was put together and tweeted out on Saturday. Similar quotes seem to be coming out in groves, as if someone opened the gates and said, “He’s fair game. Trump is fair game!” Because this Republican hasn’t really been until now. Hillary Clinton has been the “fair game.” But the tables seemed to be turning post presidential debate.
Here are two of the quotes from the clip. Most are NSFW, so you may want to lower your volume — or then again, you may want to turn it up, because this is a critical election, and Americans need to know just how low Trump can go and that he could be president. The first quote I chose might be a trigger for some. It might seem innocuous to others. The essential message I get is, “I own her and she needs to follow the rules—my rules—or else.”
“I don’t want to sound too much like a chauvinist, but when I come home and dinner’s not ready, I go through the roof.” -Donald Trump
Go through the roof, how, Donald? In what way? In a domestically violent and abusive way, or in a “you are here to serve me” way. Confused.
And then there Trump’s take rape. Is rape okay—if she’s’ in his room, Donald?
“You have a young woman that was in his room, his hotel room, late in the evening, at her own will…” -Donald Trump
Personally, I believe the rape allegations against Donald Trump are legitimate and look forward to the victims finding justice. Can you imagine the courage it must take for a woman raped by Trump to come forward publicly, knowing his method of operation when he’s attacked? God only knows the kind of abuse victims have had to take for speaking up. He clearly bullies and intimidates women into silence and/or he calls anyone who accuses him of sexual assault a lying gold digger, then threatens to sue them for defamation of his character — what character?
It is starting to unravel for Donald Trump. He’s starting to become undone. And his own misogyny seems to be leading the way. Here’s the clip that was tweeted out by @TheDemocrats. Press the blue and white arrow to view.
Of course, this is Just tipping the iceberg. If you Google “Donald Trump Misogyny” or “Donald Trump Sexist Quotes” or anytime or a similar search, you will unveil a whole new world of, “How the fuck did this guy become a presidential nominee?”
Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton spent much of her adult life building up girls and women. Republican nominee Donald Trump has spent much his adult life degrading and tearing down women. Any woman (or man) who would vote for Trump, knowing full well what he says now and what he has said in the past, is a person who is deeply troubled and suffering inside — or a person without a conscience. “Oh, but Hillary!!! Benghazi!! Emails!!!” I don’t care how much you hate Hillary or how many lies you believe, if you are okay with having your children live in a country controlled by this beast, I can only feel sorry for you and hope you’ll find some way to get help and heal. I can promise them this; if Donald Trump becomes president, your life is about to get a whole lot worse.
