Women of MN - What do you like about Trump?

I can't imagine he is any abortion. In all his years of being a womanizer and having affairs I'm sure there have been some unwanted pregnancies? I've never heard him say he is anti abortion. He sucks up the far right and people who object for religious reasons as it gets him votes. As for his own moral compass I think he has shown he doesn't have one!

If only the pro lifers were as vocal annd campaigned as hard about the babies already here.

I don't understand how a woman could vote for a man who is openly misogynistic and openly admits to harassing and assaulting women. By voting him in it has shown what American people really believe in and I find it incredibly sad.

Mumsnet is part of the liberal elite.

Full of the 6 figure salary set who think they know better than the plebs.

I like Trump because he said if you grab a woman by the pussy you can do anything. What a guy! Can't imagine for the life of me why any woman wouldn't find him irresistible.

He's not a democrat. People are tired of liberals

The thing is there's no point drilling down if people are right about why they like trump as most people don't think that deeply. If they are concerned about illegal immigration and somone says they will be tough on illegal immigration that satisfy's a lot of people.

Absolutely nothing.
Even if he is "anti trans" and maybe has a few ideas that arent dreadful, that doesnt negate all the disastrous things hes said over the years and will do so in future. Or his awful policies. Hes a terrible excuse for a human being.

I agree we should be able to talk about immigration. However Biden had a tough policy proposal on immigration which was voted down by the republicans.

No, it really isn't that, or at least, it's a minor factor. The truth is that they're irrational. People shy away from that, they don't want to face how fucked up America is. They want to presume Trump voters had good reasons. They didn't. It's completely emotional and based on fantasy. They want a magical strongman to fix everything because then they can abdicate all responsibility. They want a daddy. It's the same reason Putin is inexplicably popular in Russia. That's the brutal truth. People are irrational.

His behaviour towards women is awful the comments he's made about his own daughter is sickening enough,the affairs, comments on grabbing women by the private parts disgusting.

A lot of comments here about anti abortion sadly growing up I'm really sad to say I held very strong views on abortion both my parents had strict catholic upbringings so it was drummed into me every day that any women who murdered a child was wicked beyond evil.

However when old enough I educated myself of facts rather than opinion.and ultimately it's a women's choice what she chooses to do with her body not the government or any lawmaker.

But back to trump this is not a good day for democracy I don't think it's good for women but sadly 51 per cent of Americans disagree with me

Very difficult to understand why such an extreme figure could get so much of the vote, I would’ve predicted his natural ceiling of support to be much lower. I’m also very worried about Musk and I think we should ban twitter in the UK.

No thanks I've wasted enough time on previous threads about this, forgot what an echo chamber Mumsnet was. All Ill say is most people on this site have a lot more money than the average person and can afford to live in expensive areas that are completely untroubled by any of the issues with mass immigration, then yall call anyone with a different opinion racists.

This is one of the reasons people vote for people like trump btw

About the abortion not even in cases of danger to mums life - why?
What do you win by having both die?

It’s not just women of childbearing age, it’s women of all ages. As a second wave feminist who was so, so pleased when it was decriminalised here when I was a teenager, I’ve always seen a woman’s right to choose to be as fundamental to women’s rights as equal pay or maternity rights. I was appalled when Roe v Wade was overturned, it’s a tragedy for American women and a victory for misogyny.

Aren’t most people in America immigrants?

Yep. Wanting the death penalty for rapists (and possibly shoplifters) but being happy that a rapist is President exemplifies the batshittery and hypocrisy of these people. They think they are tough on crime, yet they elect a criminal with multiple indictments for serious crimes.
Maternal mortality up 62% in anti-abortion states and infant mortality is up 13%. They have no problem with killing women and children. They don't care in the least.
People like this are their own karma though. They have to live inside the screaming void of their heads, which is a terrible fate indeed.

Yes. Lock up the dogs and cats.
While he sells the country to Musk ( also an immigrant).

I'm not sure what "tougher on immigration" would mean. Do you think he has any specific ideas?

I think perhaps we should turn this into "why did Kamala Harris not win?". What was so bad about her policies that people voted for Trump instead? To me as an outsider nothing on earth would persuade me to vote for him, but there must be something about her/her party that put people off.

Fair enough.

What I am suggesting is there are more actively religious people than we seem to have in England so this will be influencing thier voting more than it might here.

Do you like that Trump is a racist or did I mean rapist?

Thanks although that's just saying IF they become illegal. It's not saying he himself is anti abortion. I'm just trying to work out why so many fundamental Christians think he's the Christian ticket and it always seems to come down to abortion and not anything to do with Jesus.

It's protestant fundamentalists who are more likely to be anti abortion. There are very few Amish. Catholics are quite divided on abortion. The LDS church opposes abortion but with exceptions for deformity, life of mother in danger, rape, and incest.
