Donald Trump says women's liking for Obama shows they 'don't get what's going on' politically

Source: ANI

Washington, Aug. 20 (ANI): American business mogul Donald Trump has said that President Barack Obama's high popularity among women shows that female voters 'don't get what's going on', politically.

Trump also said that women liked him because they don't know him and that ignorance prevented them from seeing things the way he does.

"Well, maybe they don't know him . Maybe they don't get what's going on, the New York Daily News quoted Trump, as saying.

According to the report, Trump asserted that Obama is "somebody that will say some very nasty things. is a person that is not the nice person that some people think. And his popularity rating, while high, I think if people knew the facts, the rating would actually be extremely low".

The Donald has spoken:

'Women are dumb.'

35. In this instance, yes. What are you suggesting by "just more male dissing women cause they can"?

We all know Trump is an ass and that pretty much anything he says is either bullshit or inflamatory, and there are of course other men who make similar insulting comments (Akins comes immediately to mind), so your comment is not very novel or illuminating. My question to you is why you felt compelled to make the statement you did? From my perspective it's at best a broad brush smear towards men and at worst it's a dog whistle.

for you, i dont know.

i certainly know why it is .... bothersome, for me.

seems to me, we like to cheer it until someone actually calls it out, then i am the one that is offensive. not the people gigglin, or making the statement. but me. cause i dare to call it what it is.

i wonder about this. seems odd to me.

20. The truth comes out.....

Let it be a fact now, Donald Trump says, "female voters 'don't get what's going on', politically." It is a definite sign of how his ego has led him to believe that he is better than anyone, especially women.
So many of Romney's large donors are quite good at their own "gaffs", some very serious such as illegal activities, etc. But the money to the campaign is more important to the Romney campaign that being associated to these very wealthy, highly entitled, and better than "you people" attitude.

He's been surrounded by average women forever. His Obama comment will not bode well for him, great timing.

In a column for the Washington Post, Anna Holmes brings up the "Trump Rule," as described by beauty queen Carrie Prejean, in her book about the Miss USA pageant. According to Prejean, the Miss USA pageant had a requirement that contestants parade in front of pageant owner Donald Trump so he could separate out those he found sexually appealing from those he did not.

56. 40% Visitors to porn sites are women

 

According to statistics, 40% of visitors to porn sites are women.

If 100 million women and girls occupy jobs worldwide then 100 million men walk unemployed.

The majority of internet traffic is pornography, and probably over three quarters of the male population with access to it, use it, so there's going to be a hell of a lot of murderers and rapists in the near future.

In fact, that's pretty much all society is going to consist of.
