Is there actual proof that Trumps a sexist pig?

Apart from 'he said, she said'?

I would really love to prove to someone that he is.
Without the someone saying "it's all media BS"
Especially since that's what they are teaching my kids.

So you think a recording of him saying “grab her by the pussy” was what? An accident? Saying he’d go out with Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter? Paying off porn stars?

I didn't know it was recorded. I've just read that he said it.

But thanks for the lovely post. Smile

Him during a T V interview saying "I grab women by the pussy" was proof enough for me.

Clip not available. I will search it when the baby stops yanking at me.

He was always at the miss world completions I believe being letchy. You can probably find loads of clips online.

He cheated on his recently post-partum wife with a porn actress and paid her off and lied about it. There was a big court case about it.

In a 1994 interview: "“Well, I think she’s got a lot of Marla, she’s a really beautiful baby,” “She’s got Marla’s legs. We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet, but time will tell,” (cups chest indicating boobs)

In another interview "If Ivanka wasn't my daughter, I'd date her"

"Grab them by the pussy"

Nothing more needs to be said.

Merryoldgoat · 16/08/2019 21:34

Do you doubt it? I don’t quite understand your OP: it’s somewhat ambiguous.

What are your children being taught? That he IS a misogynist? Or that he isn’t and it’s media nonsense.

How about encouraging/ not objecting to states in USA banning abortion ?

Cyclemad222 · 16/08/2019 21:50

He makes out his accusers are too ugly for him to rape.

Misogyny and sexism against female US senators who are citizens.

pikapikachu · 16/08/2019 21:54

I obviously meant racism not sexism but there's no edit function

MorganKitten · 16/08/2019 22:01

@UterusUterusGhali he didn’t just attend, he produced them... ugh

StealthPolarBear · 16/08/2019 22:01

I don't understand why he's still in power. If any of my male colleagues said something like that they'd be out. Is America just so backward in that respect? Actually don't answer

Does getting rid of your male colleagues involve an impeachment process and the support of the majority of the ruling political elite? If not then it's not really comparable.

StealthPolarBear · 16/08/2019 22:17

Fair point :)
But it feels like us lowly employees are held to a higher bar in terms of behaviour than the president of the USA.
I'm sure it's always been the case, I've just never seen it so obvious and yet with so clearly no consequences.
For the record I work with proper men who respect other people and wouldn't dream of behaving like this.

drsausage · 16/08/2019 22:23

I totally agree, and it's incredibly frustrating being able to do nothing about it.

Fizzpopwhizzbang · 16/08/2019 22:31

Tbf it's quite difficult to prove with absolute certainty that someone holds a certain prejudice. There's no official register that sexist people sign to let others know their views are sexist. I think all the quotes and incidents listed here are about as good as it gets. You have to just go off their general behaviour and make your own judgement.

He claimed he couldn't have raped E Jean Carroll because she wasn't attractive enough to rape.

OnlyaMan · 16/08/2019 23:13

There is ample evidence that President Trump is a sexist pig.
He is the least satisfactory President since Andrew Jackson (1829-1837).
And yet a majority of the US electorate voted for him, knowing his faults. It is a good idea that the rest of us (especially those of us who are not US citizens with a vote) should just live with the choice of Americans, deal with it, and stop whinging.

drsausage · 16/08/2019 23:18

Er no they didn't. Hillary received the majority of the votes.
