Sexist Pig Rewind: 20 Despicable Quotes About Women By Trump

As the age of Trump draws to a close, due in large part to the efforts of Stormy Daniels and her attorney, let’s take a look at his history of despicable remarks regarding women.

Trump has demeaned women for decades; and it looks like Stormy Daniels and her ace attorney, Michael Avenatti, are on a trajectory to take down the Trump presidency long before Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller has time to complete his investigation.

It’s fitting somehow that the man who has spent decades demeaning and degrading women suddenly finds himself at the end of his rope as the result – indirect or otherwise – of one of his many well-documented [alleged, just to be 100% accurate] extra-marital affairs.

The British political and cultural magazine The New Statesman published an article in late 2016 suggesting that “we should be kind to America’s first victim – Melania Trump,” and perhaps we should.

As The Guardian observed a few months later, “Melania Trump has a look that I’ve never seen before, the eyes of someone waiting with increasing impatience for Stockholm Syndrome to set in. The look of a woman frantically trying to unlearn English, appalled to find that this only makes her understand her husband more clearly.”

However tragic their stories, Trump’s apparent war on women did not begin and end with Melania and Stormy. It started decades ago as the following quotes amply demonstrate – sorted in reverse chronological order.

As Huffington Post reported during the waning months of the presidential campaign, over the years Trump “has consistently insulted, belittled, sexualized and stereotyped women. He has also taken the time to personally insult individual notable women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Rosie O’Donnell, Cher, Bette Midler, and others.”

“Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next next president? I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?” (Rolling Stone, September 2015)

“26,000 unreported sexual assaults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?” (Twitter, May 7, 2013)

“The most difficult aspect of the prenuptial agreement is informing your future wife (or husband): I love you very much, but just in case things don’t work out, this is what you will get in the divorce. There are basically three types of women and reactions. One is the good woman who very much loves her future husband, solely for himself, but refuses to sign the agreement on principle. I fully understand this, but the man should take a pass anyway and find someone else. The other is the calculating woman who refuses to sign the prenuptial agreement because she is expecting to take advantage of the poor, unsuspecting sucker she’s got in her grasp. There is also the woman who will openly and quickly sign a prenuptial agreement in order to make a quick hit and take the money given to her.” (The Art of the Comeback, 1997)
