Read every horrible thing Donald Trump has said about women and tell me he's not a sexist

[yuiyoshida]

This is not exactly a secret. He rose to political prominence by claiming the first black president wasn't really American but Kenyan. He launched his presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants to the US "rapists," and doubled down when criticized. His most famous proposal is a total moratorium on Muslim entry to the United States.

But a report from the New York Times's Michael Barbaro and Megan Twohey has shone a light on a less examined side of Trump's bigotry: his long, persistent hatred and mistreatment of women. Former New Republic editor Franklin Foer has described misogyny as Trump's "one core belief." He's not wrong.

The accusations in the Times's exposé — some denied by Trump, some not — are damning:

Temple Taggart, a former Miss Utah, said that he kissed her on the lips at the Miss USA pageant, twice, against her will.

1. Careful here, at least part of this story had been discredited

2. HEAR it from his mouth and

his own tweets from Twitter...and make up your own mind.

4. The story is not the issue, Trumps mouth is.

Trump demonstrates over and over again how much he is a women hater. I hope he keeps it up, I doubt very many women will vote for his pig ass.

5. Be careful, part 2:Not discredited. A source in the story simply alleged differently after the fact.

16. He could have paid her more money

To deny she said what she said.

3. Trump is a pig, there is no doubt. You can hear it from his own lips when he talks about women.

I think he is a women hater.

6. Fair enough

I agree. I'm just saying there is plenty to go after Drumpf with and that the NY Times should be more careful in twisting women's words around in their articles. That's all. I believe it is a disservice and clouds the issue for some.

7. Read his tweets, not cloudy at all

clear as day!

9. What specific phrases were "twisted around"?

What specific phrases were "twisted around" to the level that the actual point was lost or obscured?

Here is the interview I saw here on DU this morning. I won't watch it again but if you'd like specifics to answer your question about the woman who the Times misrepresented, it's below. Cheers.

8. Ok. He's not sexist.

He may be a racist, misogynist, chauvinist, monomaniac, functionally illiterate, scummy, a self-aggrandizing bore, but he is not a sexist. He said so himself, so it must be true.

10. General Election

Seems to me that the General election is going to shape up to be a men vs. women contest when the unfavorables for both candidates with the opposite sex are considered. Thankfully there will be more women voters!

12. The woman in the story

denied this.

[uponit7771]

18. no she didn't

13. Maybe Trump said this b/c Kristen Stewart turned him down and badly?

Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to weigh in on speculation that the Twilight couple had reconciled after a cheating scandal and public breakup over the summer. (2012)

“Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again--just watch,” Trump tweeted.

14. He's a revolting pig.

I can't see why any woman with an ounce of self respect would ever vote for him.

15. What a sleeze.

Slimy. Nasty.
