… #Trump’s vitriol against those exercising their #FirstAmendment rights is not limited to #women. Today, during a WH visit w/Saudi Crown Prince #MBS, Trump said of the murdered #journalist #JamalKhashoggi that “a lot of people didn’t like that gentleman” & that “things happen,” suggesting the #journalist may have deserved his killing. (In 2018, Saudi officials lured Khashoggi to Turkey & murdered him, dismembering his body with a bone saw.)
At a 2024 campaign rally, he fantasized about shooting #journalists. His comments to #female reporters, however, have another through line: Why can’t you just be silent like a #woman should?
#Trump has an even longer history of denigrating #women more broadly. This is reportedly not the first time that he has used the word piggy to describe a woman…
And this is just how Trump talks to women, leaving aside the many credible accusations of #SexualAbuse & misconduct against him…
