Donald Trump has said a lot of gross stuff about women in his lifetime, but it seemed possible that once he announced he was running for president ― the nation’s highest office ― he’d tamp down on the ignorant, misogynistic drivel.
That certainly has not happened.
Since Trump got into the presidential race last summer, his sexist remarks have continued to flow unabated, threatening to drown numbed voters in a toxic stream of misogyny.
He also proved himself to be a textbook “manterrupter” during the first presidential debate, frequently speaking over the first female candidate to ever take the stage.
And that’s to say nothing of the actual policies Trump has proposed, like a family leave plan that completely excludes men (because women = biologically hardwired to be caregivers), and going all-in on a sweeping anti-abortion plan (because women’s bodies = not really their own). But words matter and Trump’s are, to borrow one of his favorites, disgusting.
Here are 16 real things he’s said about women since announcing his run.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
