Opinion: What do women want? Not Donald Trump

Women of America, how do you feel about a man who says he will be your protector? “whether you like it or not”? Another question: do you even believe that you need a defender?

The fact that Donald Trump thinks you do and thinks he’s the one who will protect us girls. whether you like it or notThis is why he may very well fail to retake the White House (please!).

Most women are voting against Trump, pollsters tell us, and that includes at least two daughters former Republican presidents Barbara Pierce Bush and Susan Ford Bales. Women make up 53% of the electorate and are currently dominated results of early voting. According to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, “in every presidential election since 1980, women have registered and voted at higher rates than men,” and the gap widens every four years.

If Trump loses, it will be women who will be Lady Liberty’s defenders.

Right now she damsel in distress, threatened by a presidential candidate who is not only a wannabe autocrat, but also convicted criminala decision has been made sexual abuser, libertine, admitted to sexual assaultformer club hopper with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and, importantly, proud architect the end of abortion rights.

With this latest claim to fame, Trump put women in danger and even death as doctors refused life-saving care to pregnant women for fear of violating government abortion bans imposed after the Supreme Court, packed with far-right Trump appointees, went on strike. down Roe v. Wade. Several people died. Wednesday ProPublica reported After the death of her wife and mother in Texas, she was denied timely treatment because she miscarried her much-wanted child.

Transphobic Trump thinks women should worry about imaginary medical threats he creates: ‘Your child goes to school and they don’t even call you, and they change the gender of your child,’ he recently said in Arizona. But instead, women are worried about real threats: abortion care, Trump’s re-election instructing anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to “work on women’s health and wellness,” and Trump’s vice president, J.D. Vance, defames “childless cat ladies” and says creators should have more voices.

Trump is rightly concerned about the backlash from women. After all, he won’t be safe from prison unless he’s re-elected and can use the presidential seal as a legal shield. Hence his insistence in the final days of the 2024 election that he would be the savior of women – a promise so patronizing that he admits he is doing it against the advice of his aides.

“They said, ‘Sir, please don’t say that,'” Trump. said rally near Green Bay, Wis., on Wednesday. “I said, ‘Why?’ They said, “We think that’s true, we think it’s very inappropriate for you to say that.” I said, “Why?” “I’m president—I want to protect the women of our country.” With his courageous statement, Trump stood firm: “Well, I’m going to do it even if women whether you like it or not“

As usual, this is a man who doesn’t take no for an answer.

Since 2016 more than two dozen women have alleged sexual harassment from Trump. 27th woman went public last week, claiming Trump fondled her in 1993 while Epstein watched: “He put his hands on my chest,” she told the Washington Post. I’m suffocating. The woman said that she spoke out now not to influence the election, as the Trump camp claimed, but because in 2022 she was interviewed for documentary released only in October.

Trump’s stupid statement about Sir Galahad has brought renewed attention to the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape, which was an October surprise before the 2016 election. Unfortunately, his electoral toxicity was offset a few weeks later by then-FBI Director James Comey. announcement about the reopened but ultimately abandoned investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private emails. Now female voters too young to know about the recording are seeing it for the first time, and TikTok is exploding with their outrage at “how depraved it is,” as a Gen Z member put it. said. Here’s a potential advocate for American women talking to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush when they spotted a young actress they were about to meet:

“You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful people – I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just a kiss. I’m not even waiting. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy.

That stands for Trump, to a T, when he previously raped writer E. Jean Carroll in a Manhattan department store dressing room, as she alleged and a jury found last year. That’s why Access Hollywood was presented as proof in Carroll’s 2023 defamation suit. We need see trump in his taped testimony, exuding smugness and condescension, telling Carroll’s lawyer that he was telling the truth – stars do have a license to grab women’s private parts. “If you look at the last million years, I think that’s been largely true,” he said. “Not always, but in many ways it is. Unfortunately or fortunately.»

Although Carroll’s jury found that Trump was liable under New York law for sexual assault, not rape, the judge updated that “many people generally understand the word ‘rape’…Trump actually did just that.”

This shouldn’t be said, but here’s the thing: a rapist shouldn’t be president. Women And You guys can protect us all from Trump. Vote down if you haven’t already.
