It’s quite strange to me that any woman would have voted for a president that has made it clear that he doesn’t value women the way they should be valued. Rather, it almost seems as he sees them as toys to be played with and discarded. After all, he has been divorced twice and has been ordered to pay millions to women in three different sexual misconduct lawsuits that state they were mistreated in some way by this current leader of America.
This isn’t even including the 34 felony counts stemming from the New York Hush Money Case (March 2023) for falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford) to silence her about an alleged 2006 sexual encounter with Trump. The payment was arranged by Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen in 2016 to influence the presidential election. Trump was convicted on all 34 counts on May 30, 2024.
So to be clear, that’s 4 legal actions (1 criminal indictment with 34 counts, 3 civil lawsuits) involving women’s treatment. And the exact cost of this? $280,000 confirmed ($130,000 to Daniels, $150,000 to McDougal via AMI) and $88.3 million owed to Carroll but unpaid pending appeal.
Now of course this is only what he has been clearly convicted of and are public record. But of course this is just the tip of the iceberg. Below I will give a few more examples of the way horny president Trump (he can call Biden sleepy, so he deserves a new nickname too) truly feels about women. And if you are a woman that voted for Trump, is this the way you’d bring up your son to speak about women, or want a husband like this to be his role model?
1. “Grab them by the pussy” (2005 Access Hollywood Tape)
- Quote: “I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything.”
- Context: This was recorded in a 2005 conversation with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood, captured on a hot mic while Trump was on a bus. The tape surfaced in October 2016 during the presidential campaign, published by The Washington Post and NBC News.
- Verification: The audio is publicly available and undisputed. Trump acknowledged the tape’s authenticity in 2016, issuing an apology, calling it “locker room talk” and saying, “These words don’t reflect who I am.” Billy Bush confirmed the voice was Trump’s. The quote is widely regarded as chauvinistic for its graphic depiction of non-consensual sexual advances and objectification of women.

2. Comments on Ivanka Trump’s Appearance (2006)
- Quote: “She does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
- Context: Trump made this remark on The View on March 6, 2006, while discussing his daughter Ivanka. The comment was part of a broader pattern of Trump commenting on Ivanka’s physical appearance, including calling her “voluptuous” in a Howard Stern interview.
- Verification: The View episode is archived, and the quote is documented by multiple outlets, including Cosmopolitan and BBC. The comment is considered chauvinistic for its inappropriate sexualization of his daughter, reducing her to her physical attributes. There’s no record of Trump denying the quote.
- Source: The View (ABC, March 6, 2006), cross-referenced with Cosmopolitan (November 11, 2024) and BBC (November 28, 2019).
On Hillary Clinton’s “Woman Card” (2016)
- Quote: “The only card [Hillary Clinton] has is the woman’s card. She’s got nothing else to offer and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card, and the beautiful thing is, women don’t like her.”
- Context: Trump said this during a news conference in April 2016, after winning the New York primary. He was criticizing Clinton’s campaign strategy, implying her gender was her only asset.
- Verification: The quote was widely reported by outlets like SELF and The Washington Post, with video footage from the press conference confirming its accuracy. The statement is chauvinistic for dismissing Clinton’s qualifications and suggesting her gender is a manipulative tactic, while also generalizing women’s opinions about her. Trump did not retract or deny the quote.
- Source: The Washington Post (April 26, 2016), SELF (June 29, 2017).
4. On Women’s Roles in Marriage (1994 Interview)
- Quote: “There was a great softness to Ivana, and she still has that softness, but during this period of time, she became an executive, not a wife… You know, I don’t want to sound too much like a chauvinist, but when I come home and dinner’s not ready, I’ll go through the roof, OK?”
- Context: Trump made this comment in a 1994 interview with ABC’s Nancy Collins, discussing his marriage to Ivana Trump. He attributed their divorce to her professional success, implying it conflicted with traditional gender roles.
- Verification: The quote is documented by SELF and other outlets, with the interview cited as the source. It’s considered chauvinistic for reinforcing outdated stereotypes about women’s roles as homemakers and suggesting professional ambition is incompatible with being a wife. There’s no evidence Trump disputed the quote.
- Source: ABC News interview with Nancy Collins (1994), cited in SELF (June 29, 2017).
5. On Women’s Appearance and Value (Multiple Instances)
Examples:
- Carly Fiorina: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” (2015, Rolling Stone interview).
- Rosie O’Donnell: “We’re all a little chubby but Rosie’s just worse than most of us” (2006, Entertainment Tonight), and calling her a “fat pig,” “dog,” and “slob” in various contexts.
- Heidi Klum: “She’s no longer a 10” (2015, The New York Times interview).
- Alicia Machado: Called her “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping” after she gained weight post-Miss Universe (1996, per Machado’s account).
Context: These comments span Trump’s public career, often targeting women’s physical appearance to demean or discredit them. The Fiorina quote was about her 2016 GOP primary candidacy, O’Donnell’s were part of a public feud, Klum’s was a casual remark, and Machado’s were tied to her time in Trump’s Miss Universe pageant.Verification:
- Fiorina: The Rolling Stone quote (September 9, 2015) is verified by the magazine and video footage. Trump later claimed he meant her “persona,” not her looks, but the context suggests otherwise.
- O’Donnell: Multiple outlets, including HuffPost and Teen Vogue, document these insults, with Entertainment Tonight footage confirming the 2006 quote. Trump has not denied them.
- Klum: The New York Times (August 2015) published the quote, and Klum responded with a humorous video. Trump did not dispute it.
- Machado: Machado’s allegations are corroborated by her 2016 statements and other pageant contestants’ accounts, though Trump denied the “sex tape” claim he made about her. He did not deny the “Miss Piggy” or “Miss Housekeeping” insults, which align with his pattern of appearance-based attacks.
- Chauvinism: These remarks are chauvinistic for reducing women to their physical appearance, implying their value or competence hinges on looks, and using derogatory language to humiliate them.
- Source: Rolling Stone (September 9, 2015), The New York Times (August 2015), HuffPost (August 19, 2015), Teen Vogue (October 20, 2016).
6. On Protecting Women “Whether They Like It or Not” (2024)
- Quote: “I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not. I’m going to protect them.”
- Context: Trump said this at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on October 30, 2024, while discussing immigration and crime, claiming he’d protect women from “criminal migrants.” He noted his advisers warned the line was “inappropriate.”
- Verification: The quote is verified by CBS News and The Hill, with video from the rally confirming it. Kamala Harris criticized it as “offensive,” arguing it undermines women’s agency. The statement is chauvinistic for its paternalistic tone, implying women need protection regardless of their own desires or autonomy. Trump did not retract the quote.
- Source: CBS News (October 31, 2024), The Hill (November 4, 2024), rally footage.
7. On Women Flirting with Him on The Apprentice (2004)
- Quote: “All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
- Context: This was written in Trump’s 2004 book, How to Get Rich. It’s notable because Summer Zervos, a former Apprentice contestant, later accused Trump of groping and kissing her without consent in 2007, claims he denied.
- Verification: The quote is directly from Trump’s book, cited by Cosmopolitan and others. It’s chauvinistic for assuming women’s behavior toward him is inherently flirtatious, objectifying contestants and dismissing their professionalism. The Zervos case settled in 2021 without Trump admitting wrongdoing, but her allegations align with the quote’s mindset. Trump has not disputed the book’s text.
- Source: How to Get Rich (2004), Cosmopolitan (November 11, 2024).
On Women’s Professional Competence (1991 Esquire Interview)
- Quote: “You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
- Context: Trump made this remark in a 1991 Esquire interview with Jeff Coplon, discussing his public image and media coverage. The comment was part of a broader conversation about his personal life and business persona.
- Verification: The quote is documented in the Esquire article and cited by outlets like BBC and HuffPost. It’s considered chauvinistic for reducing women to their physical appearance and implying their value lies in youth and attractiveness rather than professional or intellectual merit. There’s no record of Trump denying the quote.
- Source: Esquire (March 1991), cited in BBC (November 28, 2019), HuffPost (August 19, 2015).
On Kim Kardashian’s Appearance (2013 Interview)
- Quote: “Does she have a good body? No. Does she have a fat ass? Absolutely.”
- Context: Trump said this during a 2013 interview with Howard Stern, discussing Kim Kardashian’s physical appearance while she was pregnant. The conversation focused on her body rather than her accomplishments or public persona.
- Verification: The audio from the Stern interview is archived and cited by Teen Vogue and Cosmopolitan. The comment is chauvinistic for its crude objectification, focusing solely on Kardashian’s body and using derogatory language. Trump has not disputed the quote, consistent with his frequent Stern appearances where he made similar remarks.
- Source: Howard Stern Show (2013), cited in Teen Vogue (October 20, 2016), Cosmopolitan (November 11, 2024).
On Women’s Looks in Business (2008 Trump University Blog)
- Quote: “The women we surveyed said that they don’t want to work for a woman who isn’t attractive. They said it makes them feel bad about themselves.”
- Context: Trump wrote this in a 2008 Trump University blog post, discussing workplace dynamics and women’s leadership. He suggested women’s appearance influences their professional credibility, based on an alleged survey.
- Verification: The blog post is cited by SELF and HuffPost, though the original Trump University site is defunct. The quote is chauvinistic for perpetuating the stereotype that women’s professional success hinges on their looks and for implying women are inherently competitive about appearance. No evidence of the survey’s existence has surfaced, and Trump has not retracted the claim.
- Source: Trump University blog (2008), cited in SELF (June 29, 2017), HuffPost (August 19, 2015).
On Megyn Kelly’s Debate Questions (2015 CNN Interview)
- Quote: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
- Context: Trump said this in an August 7, 2015, CNN interview with Don Lemon, reacting to tough questions from Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly during the first GOP primary debate. Many interpreted “wherever” as a reference to menstruation, implying Kelly’s questioning was driven by hormonal irrationality.
- Verification: The quote is verified by CNN’s broadcast footage and reported by The Washington Post and BBC. Trump later claimed he meant “nose,” not menstruation, but the context and public reaction suggest otherwise. The remark is chauvinistic for its gendered insult, undermining Kelly’s professionalism by linking her behavior to a bodily function. The backlash led to Trump’s temporary feud with Fox News.
- Source: CNN (August 7, 2015), The Washington Post (August 8, 2015), BBC (November 28, 2019).
On Women’s Dependency in Relationships (2005 Howard Stern Interview)
- Quote: “Any girl who’s with a guy who’s got money, she’s not going to leave him unless she’s got a better deal.”
- Context: Trump made this comment during a 2005 Howard Stern Show interview, discussing relationships and his views on women’s motivations. He implied women stay with wealthy men for financial security, not love or loyalty.

These examples highlight recurring themes such as judging women by their looks, implying they’re subordinate or sexual objects, and attacking those who assert power or independence. Critics argue this reflects a broader disdain for women who don’t fit his narrow ideals, while supporters often dismiss such remarks as humor, bluntness, or “locker room talk.” The perception of misogyny stems not just from the words but their consistency across decades, often targeting women in ways he rarely does men.
