(204,727 posts)But he doesn't appear to look at his own behavior - on any front. How we managed to even run a misogynist in this day and age is baffling to me...

(1,387 posts)I always assumed any man with a daughter(s) would be a feminist . I was suprised to find how wrong I was. A friend once told me that her father and brothers told her that a woman's opinion didn't matter. Only looks are important to men. I told her that was abusive.She suprised me by not pushing back.
PS- my dad was born in the 1930's
and spent the first 2 yrs. of his life on a ranch in Arizona.

(204,727 posts)And everyone says she's the one he listens to. My Dad was much the same. I have a brother, but since I was the oldest, I was the one he always pushed. And his daughter grew up in a feminist era, so I'm surprised she doesn't push back.

(204,727 posts)He has more insecurities, issues and nasty characteristics than most men out there - of any age!

(72 posts)Is because she's "beautiful".
He even used her "beauty" as one of the reasons he thinks she'll be the first woman president (as if, that's even relevant.)
If you look at family photos of them that appeared to have been taken when Ivanka was ages 13-17, she's been groomed to view herself as a piece of meat.
So yes, even the love for his own daughter is tainted by his lack of respect for women.

(5,611 posts)the steps and accept her gift. That big fat douche ignored his own wife completely -- he was only worried about his own fat mug on television and acting like "Mr president." She was a total afterthought.

(694 posts)I wonder what her pre-nup looks like...i wouldn't be at all surprised to see her bolt as soon as he's been impeached/resigned....

(42,862 posts)... agreement with her. I see no evidence between either of them of any sort of love, or affection, or fondness, or friendship. It's just a role. For her, she likely views it as any other modeling-job or hoochie-coochie photography-job for which she is being well compensated, and which has a nice retirement bonus when she calls it quits. I really can't muster any sympathy for her at all. She knew what she was getting herself into.

Becoming a mother changes the choices you make and your reasons for doing so.

Particularly if he's more abusive behind closed doors ~

(5,611 posts)tough guy and we all know that tough guys attack their wives when their feewings are hurt /s (of course). I am sure he's at his absolute worst now;he is being made a joke of in front of his own country and the eyes of the world and every resistance from the republicans and democrats and FBI etc burns him because he's little lord who thinks everyone should jump when he commands something.
Chiyo-chichi
(3,573 posts)With audio, you can see that he was being relatively nice to her, though he forced her to say a few words when she clearly didn't want to. It was at the Trump DC hotel & he was also ranting about fake news.

(6,716 posts)be an abused wife. I try not to pile it on her...though it's hard not to. This video is horrible.
MontanaMama
(23,295 posts)you will earn every penny. Nobody should have to endure abuse. Her saving grace is the fact that all eyes are on the orange monster all the time. That said, I don't feel sorry for her. She could leave like the other two wives did and still live a more extravagant life than most of us ever will. I worry about Barron, however. He strikes me as a child with some issues - maybe not - maybe he's just miserable. Why wouldn't he be?
