Donald Trump Says Men Who Take Care of Their Kids Are Acting 'Like the Wife'

[KamaAina]

Trump doesn’t change diapers…
“No, I don’t do that,” Trump said on the Opie and Anthony show in 2005. “There’s a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife and you know there’s a lot of husbands that listen to that… I’m really like a great father but certain things you do and certain things you don’t. It’s just not for me.”

…or really do anything hands-on to care for his kids.
“I mean, I won’t do anything to take care of them. I’ll supply funds and she’ll take care of the kids. It’s not like I’m gonna be walking the kids down Central Park,” Trump said in a 2005 interview with Howard Stern. “Marla used to say, ‘I can’t believe you’re not walking Tiffany down the street,’ you know in a carriage. Right, I’m gonna be walking down Fifth Avenue with a baby in a carriage. It just didn’t work.”

It’s not just babies that Trump avoids.
In a 2007 interview, Trump told Stern about his relationship with Tiffany, his daughter with Marla Marples. Trump said that Tiffany visits him, “You know for about an hour, ‘Hi dad,’ Hi Tiff, I love you Tiff.’ She’s a great kid,” says Trump, who tells Stern that Tiffany’s a smart girl—something he knows because he “glances” at her report cards.

Perhaps he’s trying to patch things up with Tiffany after his comments on a previous Howard Stern Show?
Speaking to Stern in 2003, Trump said he married Maples because she got pregnant with Tiffany. “At the time it was like, ‘Excuse me, what happened?” Trump said. “And then I said, ‘Well, what are we going to do about this?'”

Way to widen that gender gap, King Combover!

1. Awesome, thanks Donald! My wife is amazing so that is a huge compliment to me.

[WDIM]

2. Whatever I'm sure he underpays nannies to take care of his kids

Just like the rest of the billionaires.

I'm sure if Trump could underpay somebody to wipe his ass he would.

[Kber]

3. Sorry

Trump does not actually have enough money to pay me whatnot would take for me to wipe his ass. Any amount would be an underpayment.

Yuck!

[WDIM]

4. No amount of money in the world

But he is such a lazy taker and exploiter that I'm sure he would do it.

He's never worked a hard day in his life and pays everybody else to do everything for him.

He is only rich thanks to exploitation.

[lpbk2713]

5. It's obvious he doesn't want to be elected.

Almost every day he continues to alienate voters and narrowing the field
of people in the wildest scenario who could possibly vote for him.

[cynzke]

36. It Certainly SEEMS That Way.

A concerted ONGOING EFFORT. Its like....."Hum......what can I say today that is really really obnoxious and down right appalling (eye squinted, hand cups chin, toe tapping). No one is that bad. He WORKS at it!.

[Initech]

6. That is loser work! Only stupid losers change diapers. I am a winner! Only winners around me!

[treestar]

7. That's not going to resonate well with most voters

people in their 50s now have had more egalitarian marriages.

[CurtEastPoint]

8. He sounds like, 'Let's ask YiaYia what she thinks...' (Yogurt commercials, hilarious...)

[Victor_c3]

35. I love it!

For what it's worth, I'm a very hands on father.

[Madmiddle]

9. Trump only runs his mouth.

I care for my Grand children and I'm pretty sure I could whip Trumps ass. I would bet I could beat the shit outta most of his body guards too. So let him run his mouth like a Hitleresk bitch. who the fuck cares.

[vkkv]

10. Donald's DNA is corrupted by money.. the smelly, ill-gotten kind of money.. n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

11. This is why the slimy "Alt-Right" cretins swarm towards him.

They hate anything they think de-masculinizes men (hence their constant obsession with "cucks"--supposedly weak men whose wives cheat on them), and apparently taking too keen an interest in their kid's raising is a no-no in their eyes.

[tclambert]

12. He should write a book on parenting!

I'm sure it would be a great, great book, one of the best, right up there with the Bible and Two Corinthians.

[narnian60]

40. Good one.

[tclambert]

13. I gotta remind people for the fifth time that his grandfather ran brothels.

I really think that explains much of his attitude toward women.

[tclambert]

14. Last point: His idea of expressing love for his children, is saying he wants to date his daughter.

Family values, people. Family values.

[jwirr]

15. Mr Trumpy is talking like a rich man. Most husbands and

wives now are working jobs - one at night and the other during the day - and they are taking care of their children and the household during the times the other is working.

Wake up these are the kinds of things that the rich, including Hillary have no idea about.

[LibDemAlways]

16. Nothing Trump has said thus far has slowed

him down much, and there are, no doubt, many voters who agree with Trump that at home there are or should be defined male and female roles. A large chunk of the country doesn't necessarily see things the way we do. If they did, Trump would have had to drop out long ago from lack of voter interest.

[NewJeffCT]

17. A percentage of the Republican electorate agrees with him

and, those are the ones that vote in primaries. However, given that he's only a little above water with Republican women - not just women in general - I think it's a huge problem for him. Trump probably thinks by having Mary Fallin or Susanna Martinez as VP will take care of it, though. But, I doubt it.

[LibDemAlways]

18. He would never share the ticket with a woman. I suspect

he'd go with some bland little known R congressman from a swing state. He doesn't like to share the spotlight or do anything to draw attention away from himself.

[NewJeffCT]

22. Supposedly

he already mentioned Mary Fallin as a possibility. I just think a lot of Republicans - Trump included - think that just having a woman on the ticket partially erases the GOP problem with women, policies be damned.

[egalitegirl]

26. I know some Trump voters

Their reasoning is that they prefer an incoherent clown who can destroy their party's establishment and create a vacuum. They distrust their party's leaders as much as we distrust ours.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Changing diapers

[Quantess]

20. That will really make him popular with women!!!

Keep talking!!!

[Ilsa]

21. What a piece of shit.

Most parents I know would quit working to spend more, not less, time with their kids if they had the money to quit. Trump should have had a vasectomy.

[KamaAina]

25. That would require delicate microsurgery.

[3catwoman3]

27. Trump's father should have...

...had the vasectomy.

[Gene Debs]

23. I still find it mind-blowing that there have ben women who would f*** Donald Trump. But then

you'll always find somebody who'll do anything for enough money, no matter how revolting or morally bankrupt it may be.

[awoke_in_2003]

24. I didn't have much opportunity with the stepdaughters

as they were older when I married, but my grandchildren are a different story. I have cooked for them (they got a big kick out of that), changed diapers, and the youngest (2.5 years) comes to me when it is time to comb or blow dry her hair. She is pappy's little girl. Trump is an idiot. A real parent or grandparent does what is needed for the kids, and doesn't go on an ego trip about it.

[Egnever]

28. His loss

Lots of joy in all of that.

[Ilsa]

30. Yep, joy, memories, connection.

And kids know it and feel the estrangement, that they were too icky or gross for daddy to take care of, or that dad can't be bothered.

[3catwoman3]

29. Slightly OT, but have you ever heard a woman...

...say "the husband," when referring to her spouse? I never have, but men very often speak of "the wife." Why not say "my wife"?

And Mr. Pro-life - "Well, what are we going to do about this?" Pro-life, my ass.

[kacekwl]

31. He just waits untill they are older

then dates them.

[AtheistCrusader]

32. Awesome, I'm going to go play with my boobs now.

Shit... These are just moobs.

I was lied to.

[Quantess]

33. Donald Trump talked you into

investing in manboobs, too? Holy f'n shit.

[sufrommich]

37. Lol.nt

[rpannier]

34. “At the time it was like, ‘Excuse me, what happened?”

So his mission was a disaster in this instance

Did not il douche not compare his escapades to being in Vietnam

Sorry Swampy, I only like people who don't fail their missions

[mwooldri]

38. Don is advancing the classless society...

... because he has no class whatsoever.

He's also the poster child for GOP family values.

[Democat]

39. Remember, no difference between Clinton and Trump

Just like the trolls say.

[gopiscrap]

41. what a mysoginist

why any woman would vote for him baffles me

[rusty quoin]

42. Since the 80s, I cared nothing about his opinion, but it does not surprise me that his opinion is

important in the media. It's the same reason we are so fucked as a country. He says dumb shit, but his celebrity status makes it okay. His bravado is more important than Obama's patience.

Trump trumps reason. I hope we do not face the lesson we deserve because I have children, but as stupid as stupid can get, it is deserved.

[MatthewStLouis]

43. He is basically just an a$$hole.

I suppose that's why many people say they like him and keep nodding at all the BS he spews.... I find it amazing how many republicans are coming to embrace the guy now. I thought maybe a few of them had a modicum of sense. Wow, was I wrong!
