https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/20/politics/trump-kavanaugh-fbi-assault/index.htmlThis story is the one of the major stories at CNN. Shows how stupid Trump is, and how out of touch on this subject he is. He has said other stupid things before, but this one defines him. To say something like this, before an audience, is beyond stupid. He said this last night in Vegas, but I what else is there to say?

(38,421 posts)And the fact that he said this, shows how out of touch he is. It is likely that most women will now turn against him. The women know this is stupid beyond belief, but Trump is too stupid to know. A wise person would...apologize for saying this. But Trump is not wise, and he won't apologize. His over all approval among women will go way down, far worse than now.
And since that will be what will happen, I am really glad he said something this stupid and insensitive. The men who support Trump might agree, but all women know the truth on this one.

(10,123 posts)would be well acquainted with that emotion - and a lot of men have experienced one or the other.
I say that not intending to diminish what women have been subjected to because many men are more likely to be physically capable of defending themselves to some extent. But women do not have a monopoly on that emotion.

(56,828 posts)she would have called local police, not the FBI.
And, why is it bad that she didn't immediately report the attack, but it's okay that young boys molested by priests 30-40-50 years ago come forward with their stories and are believed? Why does nobody question why the boys didn't go to the police or FBI at the time?

(38,421 posts)and not reporting immediately, and coming forward now. Everyone knows why .."...the boys didn't go to the police or FBI at the time?" FEAR
And women know why Ford did not go to FBI or police at the time. But Trump is far too stupid to know..And worse, since he insulted women with this statement.............He will not apologize, and is too stupid to know how stupid this statement is..(and that is pretty stupid)
