These are just some of the offensive and overtly sexist comments made by Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump over the past several years.
If you think that such ‘platitudes’ are only reserved for women who are not in a position of power, you are wrong.
Trump has made some nasty comments about former German chancellor Angela Merkel, his potential rival Kamala Harris, and other female rivals and critics.
Trump once called Merkel ‘that bitch’ in front of officials in his own administration while he was the US president, according to the book “I Alone Can Fix It,” by the Washington Post journalists Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker.
On Kamala, Trump resorted to personal jibes while giving his brutal assessment of Joe Biden’s performance against him in the July presidential debate.
In a viral video, Trump was heard calling Kamala,
In fact, he minced no words while attacking his fellow party member and rival Nikki Haley. On the 5th of January 2024, Trump launched a no-holds-barred attack on Haley during a rally in Iowa’s Sioux Center.
Several experts believe that Trump and his campaign team which spent years devising his strategy to take on a frail Joe Biden, has a tall mountain to climb as he now faces a starkly different opponent: Kamala Harris.
It is said that a charged and relatively young Kamala could bring out the worst in 78-year-old Trump, who has the habit of making headlines with his loose remarks, especially against female politicians.
With Kamala gaining excessive media attention lately, people close to Trump told the New York Times that such a circumstance usually prompts the former president to grab headlines somehow, often in self-destructive ways.
This has caused concern among Trump's campaign staff as they believe that Kamala's candidacy may again prompt Trump to resort to his tirade on gender and race, and may alienate a large chunk of college-educated voters and suburban women.
