Donald Trump, the compulsive misogynist

[DonViejo]

Trump always needs a woman to beat up on. Think Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Angela Merkel, and Theresa May.

There is almost no dimension of politics in which Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, acts in a consistent fashion. The one exception is that Trump, the politician, apparently only feels like a real man if he gets to beat up on a woman.

The latest example is former White House advisor Omarosa Manigault Newman, who Trump called “crazed,” a “lowlife,” and a “dog” on Twitter.

There is also the example of Margrethe Vestager, the Danish woman who is the EU Commissioner in charge of the antitrust portfolio. “Your tax lady, she really hates the United States,” was how Trump sought to dismiss the EU penalty announced by Vestager in response to Google’s anti-competitive behavior.

To Trump, being a woman in politics is evidently an automatic disqualifier. It is hard to imagine a more telling and more grotesque form of a weak ego than resorting to gender as a basis for dismissiveness in politics.

4. I looked for

that GIF of him tossing a kiss over Melanoma's head to czarina*, and she got all giddy while Mel let the false smile fall from her face like a ton of bricks as he turned away to take the oath but I couldn't find it. That <3 seconds is soooo telling in sooo many ways.

3. Pretty sure Melania gets an earful on a regular basis.

5. I think she makes limited, tightly scheduled "appearances"

which are her only contact with him. She probably charges him/us for each one.
