Least surprising news ever
More from the Trump Would Totally Do His Daughter file:
Donald Trump’s “naked sexism,” including toward his own daughter, is described in a new book by Miles Taylor, the former Trump administration official who famously wrote a scathing op-ed about the former president under the pen name “Anonymous.”
Taylor, a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security, describes several incidents that made women in the Trump administration uncomfortable in his upcoming book Blowback: A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump, an extract of which was obtained exclusively by Newsweek.
Like for instance drooling about his daughter’s tits and ass and talking about what it would be like to do her.
“There still are quite a few female leaders from the Trump administration who have held their tongues about the unequal treatment they faced in the administration at best, and the absolute naked sexism they experienced with the hands of Donald Trump at worst,” Taylor told Newsweek.
Then they should take their hands off their tongues and tell the truth.
In his book, Taylor describes Trump’s “undisguised sexism” toward the women in his administration, from relatively low-level aides to cabinet secretaries.
He recalls witnessing such behavior first-hand in meetings with Trump and Kirstjen Nielsen, who was secretary of homeland security from 2017 to 2019.
Well yeah secretary of blah blah blah but also a total babe.
“When we were with him, Kirstjen did her best to ignore the president’s inappropriate behavior,” Taylor writes in his book. “He called her ‘sweetie’ and ‘honey,’ and critiqued her makeup and outfits.”
After a crass comment from Trump, he recalls Nielsen whispering to him: “Trust me, this is not a healthy workplace for women.”
And yet, there she was.
Well, yes, but for most Trump supporters that’s a feature not a bug.
A nasty thought comes to mind: why the heck would any woman CHOOSE to work for this toad? is career that important? Right wing ideological belief? Trump as Jesus’’ chosen?
Note I am not saying toxic workplaces should be allowed to continue. But Trump has been very upfront with what he is: And the toxic ideology of the Trump era will by definition be unpleasant
Different people have different priorities and different ideas about what their best interests are… Why would any woman want to inflict a mortally wounding pregnancy on another?
BOiA: Of course, of course. But the whole Trump Person an AND Agenda just seem so toxic it interferes with my ability to sympathize with anyone actively supporting it? I’m wrong of course, but…
If you weren’t convinced that humans are basically evil…
BKiSA:
Because when one lacks empathy, as long as it’s happening to somebody else it isn’t worth worrying about.
