Trump Says Hell Protect Women, Like It or Not, Evoking His History of MisogynyOn Wednesday, he delivered similar remarks but added a new twist as he described onstage what he had told his advisers: I said, well, Im going to do it whether the women like it or not. I am going to protect them.

(10,912 posts)... say this, in a rally on CSPAN. It was shocking in how he stressed his point. Also, he comments on "migrant crime" and mentions most victims are women. If most were male, that would be better? I think he's trying to appeal to women. Probably, he meets with a bunch of advisors and pollsters who say, "Try to appeal to women." Like trying to teach your cat how to be more appealing to mice.

(2,668 posts)I'm with you. It makes no sense. I've said for two years that if he was even allowed to be the GOP candidate in 2024, America as we know it is over because tens of millions of people would invent reasons to support a man they know is unfit for the office. I cried watching January 6th, but I thought that was obviously the death nail. It just makes no sense that they wont throw this man to the curb.

(60,777 posts)Trump's comment is 100 percent in line with his dictator/authoritarian comments and actually pair with his access Hollywood comment which also implies he can do things even if a woman disagrees.
The Biden comment was a poorly worded sentence that would have been completely ok IF IT WAS WRITTEN as there would be no ambiguity of possessive vs plural. However, Biden is NOT on the ballot and the reason he is NOT is because he was seen to be slipping. Biden has always been subject to gaffes, possibly because he has to work harder to say things to avoid stutters. In addition, all but the extreme MAGA see him as a good, genial man even if they disagree with his politics.
So, one controversy involves the Presidential nominee and fits CW about him. The second involves someone not on the ticket and the worst interpretation is absolutely NOT the CW, while the explanation, that he has gaffes and sometimes has some difficulty speaking fluidly is EXACTLY what concerned some people.
Though FOX may hope otherwise, I suspect the first, but not the second will resonate. I also thing it takes some chutzpah and lack of caution for Trump to emphasize anything to do with GARBAGE. after all, his comments on America as a garbage can are not ambiguous at all ... and fits who he is.
