Trump vs. Women

Long and storied history here.

The one time Trump won a national election (2016), he defeated a woman — although it’s easy to argue she was a flawed candidate and she abandoned the Upper Midwest and a lot of women hated her for staying with Bill after the Lewinsky stuff. Trump did win, but again, you could argue it was easy.

Kamala has a lot of flaws herself, but it’s a different scrap this time — and Trump is eight years older and a little bit crazier from years of people kissing his ass + him thinking “he alone can save us” + all the judicial stuff + losing to Biden.

The first debate is tomorrow (Tuesday) night. Personally I do think there’s a scenario out there where Trump uses the n-word or says something horrible in a generic sense about women, because that’s how he is and always has been, at least in the public arena.

This goes back way before he entered politics, but some of the first ones people remember might include his weird feud with Megyn Kelly:

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
