In the final presidential debate, things took a turn for the outrageous as Donald Trump doubled down on his less-than-stellar rapport with female voters. Buckle up, because this ride is a wild one.
First off, Trump muddled late-term abortions and C-sections, suggesting that women were having healthy babies “ripped” from their wombs just days before their due dates. Newsflash, Donald: that’s not how it works. Late-term abortions are extremely rare, making up less than one percent of all procedures after 20 weeks, and usually arise out of medical necessity. But hey, why let pesky facts get in the way of a good scare tactic?
Next up was his attempt to undermine Hillary by saying her “husband disagrees with her.” And? She’s running for president, not seeking her spouse’s approval for every decision, you sexist potato. Then he claimed, “No one respects women more than I do.” If only we could capture the collective eye rolls of women watching at home.
But the moment that really stole the show? When Trump, unable to counter Clinton’s solid argument about her tax plan, resorted to name-calling and labeled her a “nasty woman.” In that instant, he unwittingly transformed the phrase into a badge of honor. Women everywhere embraced the term, and it became a rallying cry for empowerment.
In response to this delightful insult, the Clinton campaign swiftly redirected the URL www.nastywomengetshitdone.com to her campaign site. Talk about a comeback!
