Whether you intend your words to be offensive is pretty much irrelevant to the impact they may have. I honestly assumed that when I (and others) questioned your use of "brave" to describe Trump's action you would back down. But you've doubled down, which bothered me more than the initial off-the-cuff careless choice of words.
Brave is generally considered an honorable trait, typically used to describe people who have faced adversity not of their own making, and have come out on the other side, or died trying. Recently it has been used to describe the Parkland student who stood between his classmates and the gunman and, more generally, all of the Parkland students acting to make the world a safer place.
There is nothing in Trump's acts with respect to women that remotely resembles being brave. You implicitly acknowledge it by describing him as a slimeball and having done this to himself - yet you still insist he is brave? I find describing his misogynistic and bullying behavior as brave offensive. You're free to feel otherwise.
