Trump Threatens Women A Week Before Election Day

Donald Trump told a crowd this week that he is going to protect women in this country “whether they want it or not.” This feels more like a threat coming from a man who was found liable by a jury for sexual assault. Not to mention the fact that two women have come forward in the past week to level accusations of abuse against him. Women don’t need Trump to protect them – they need to protect themselves from Donald Trump, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

During his rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin this week, Donald Trump let women know that he is gonna do what he wants to them, whether they like it or not. That is literally what he said. Whether women like it or not, he is gonna have his way, but don't worry, because his way is essentially what he calls protecting them. And he mentioned in the rally that his, uh, advisors, his allies, his friends, his donors, everybody has told him, stop saying you're gonna be the protector of women because it's basically demeaning them saying that they can't protect themselves. You're the only one that can do it. Just stop doing it. And Trump says, I'm not gonna do it. Whether women like it or not, I'm going to have my way. Here is Donald Trump telling women that they have no choice but to submit to him. Here he is.

And my people told me about four weeks ago, I would say, no. I want protect the people. I wanna protect the women of our country. I wanna protect the women. Sir, please don't say that. Why? They said, we think it's, we think it's very inappropriate for you to say, say, why I'm president. I wanna protect the women of our country. They said, they said, sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you to say, pay these guys a lot of money. Can you believe it? They said, well, I'm gonna do it whether the women like it or not, I'm gonna protect them.

Now, if you know any history about Donald Trump, you know that he does lots of things, whether women like it or not, you know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful. I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet, just a kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the mm-Hmm, you can do anything whether they want it or not, right? Donald, that by the way, in case you weren't familiar with it, is the quote from the Access Hollywood tape that honestly kind of shocked. It's not making a bigger appearance in this year's election, considering the fact that in the last week, two more women have come forward accusing Donald Trump of sexually assaulting them in one way or another. 28 women. This does not include, by the way, the women that have accused him of harassment.

28 women over the years have accused this man of inappropriate touching, of inappropriate advances, of unwanted advances, of forcibly kissing them on their, their mouth, their neck, other places, fondling their breasts, fondling their butts, all kinds of things without their permission. 28 women, why is that not a headline? One of them came out this week on Wednesday, another one happened last week. And here is this man, this convicted felon telling women, I'm gonna do this whether you want it or not. Just like he said on that Access Hollywood tape, he doesn't even wait. Women don't need Donald Trump to protect them. Women need to be able to protect themselves from Donald Trump.
