You know who's the greatest glass ceiling shatterer of all time? OF ALL TIME??????

Donald Trump of course!


As Donald Trump has reminded us many times, he is very popular with women. Just as he is very popular and beloved by “the Hispanics” and “the Blacks,” and he is going to win with all of them. Sure, sure. All the “polls” keep saying that the vast majority of people in these demographics actually cannot stand him, but what do they know? They are probably not even asking the ones Trump is talking about. And sure, those people may only exist in his imagination, but does that mean their votes don’t count?

In an interview with Trump last night, Bill O’Reilly suggested that the whole reason why anyone was saying that his smearing of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel was racist was because they wanted to make him unpopular with “the different groups” so that he wouldn’t win the election. Trump explained that he is actually very popular with all those groups, in his own estimation, and will win with them.

Trump further explained just why he is so popular with the women he imagineered! It is because, back in the ’80s, he broke the glass ceiling ALL BY HIMSELF, by hiring ladies in construction. (What is the glass ceiling, youngsters? It is a metaphor for women who stop being promoted at a certain point in their careers — because they are women — and can watch as the men are promoted above them. Currently, there is a “glass ceiling” to the US presidency. It is about to be broken.) Anyway, yes, Trump is a glass ceiling breaker, you heard it here first.

“I have great respect for women,” Trump explained in all seriousness. “I was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women more than anybody in the construction industry. And my relationship, I think, is going to end up being very good with women."

How can he be so oblivious to the fact that so many groups out there absolutely hate him and wouldn't vote for him if their lives depended on it? He is living in his own little fantasy world.

He has, in fact, promoted women to positions of responsibility in his company.

At the same time, he owned the Miss Universe contest, and is/was a regressive womanizer. He contains multitudes.

We women should have had the menfolks breaking the glass ceiling for us years ago! I never thought of having them do it for us. Silly lil old me. Let me go bake some more cookies.
