Donald Trump framed as having taken advantage of his wealth to bully women [see note]

Last edited Mon May 16, 2016, 12:30 PM - Edit history (2)

here is the article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/15/us/politics/donald-trump-women.html


Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump: Behaved With Women in Private: Interviews reveal unwelcome advances, a shrewd reliance on ambition, and unsettling workplace conduct over decades.

Possible issues exist with this story- one of the main women in the article states (on a Fox News segment) that the NYT spun her account- and was not honest about how she was treated, see her interview linked below- and that is undeniably what she is saying-

Thank you to BlueNomatterWho for bringing this up. (" target="_blank">Video Link here)

Unfortunately this report by the NY Times has issues. A former girlfriend of Drumpfs has already stated in an interview that she was misquoted and the article made her sound negative to the Orange one when in fact the opposite was true. These types of false stories do us no favors going into the general.

If i was a woman , I would not want to have to deal with his boorishness- Maybe some women like that- but if I was a woman I wouldn't.

Its too patronizing, even if its not seen as rude- i do see it as rude though.

Look at how he treats women he claims are unattractive-

We need to demand more in presidential candidates - this is really a bad situation.

Thank you for taking the time to look. I just think it can produce sympathy for Cheeto Man that is unnecessary. There's plenty to work with, as you know. Cheers!
