Hannah Howell- We're "Shocked" Donald Trump Is A Sexist
Summary/Analysis: Recently very disturbing footage has been released of Donald Trump saying some extremely sexist and degrading things about women. He talked about trying to get with a married woman and bragged about being able to get with any woman he wanted using extremely vulgar terms. I would consider what he had said about how he has just gone up to women and started kissing them sexual assault. I am completely disgusted after watching the video. Though the video is over 10 years old, what he said was unacceptable for anyone to say. Anyone who supported Trump even after all the other things he has said prior this this being leaked would hopefully now be enlightened to his true self. But it dumbfounds me how this uncovered video is so shocking to so many people. Trump was sexist before this, along with racist and just plain rude. "Trump is sexist and demeaning to women" is not new information, but is just further enforced by this new video in my opinion.

I really still can not fathom how Donald Trump won the republican primaries, yet alone have an active following. I don't understand how people could vote for someone so terrible. However its good for the Democrats because they are now likely to win the House and the Senate because of his stupid decisions. :)
ReplyDeleteI was appalled by his comments when I saw that video, but I really like your title and the way you put "shocked" because if someone is truly shocked by this incident, then they are just crazy.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm completely disgusted by what Trump said, I'm honestly not surprised. What really surprises me is that people are still standing by and voting for hom.
ReplyDeleteI was so shocked that an adult would say such sexist things. I would hate to have him be the influence on our country.
