(Business Insider via msn) Trump was 'near-sadistic' in phone calls with female world leaders, according to CNN report on classified calls

President Donald Trump's freewheeling and unprepared approach to phone calls with world leaders tended to turn ugly if the recipient was a woman, according to a new CNN report.

Trump was "near-sadistic" when speaking to leaders like former British Prime Minister Theresa May and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, calling them "stupid" and "a fool," according to longtime Washington Post reporter of Watergate fame Carl Bernstein, who reported the story for CNN.

One source called Trump's calls with May "humiliating and bullying," while Merkel reportedly took Trump's antics "like water off a duck's back."

"He'd get agitated about something with Theresa May, then he'd get nasty with her on the phone call," One source told CNN. "It's the same interaction in every setting — coronavirus or Brexit — with just no filter applied."

President Donald Trump was chummy with autocratic male world leaders in phone calls, but turned "near-sadistic" when he was speaking to women in the same positions, according to a new report from Carl Bernstein for CNN.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

21. Maybe the calls were recorded.

Lordy, I hope there are tapes.

[FakeNoose]

37. Lordy I hope those tapes get played for all to hear

[Beartracks]

46. Maybe that will lose his base, just like the pussy tape did!

Oh, wait...

3. Shameful. He's just an out of control bully to people he thinks...

are weaker than him. The wannabe dictator cozied up to actual dictators.

We gotta get this orange trash out of the White House as he has wrecked our relationships with many of our long-time allies.

[iluvtennis]

41. +++ agree. nt

[Cha]

4. Oh and here's to Angela Merkel!

[Budi]

13. To Angela!! 🥂🍺👍

Hope she told him to shove it up his ass..(in German)

20. A little bit of levity:

[Delmette2.0]

27. LOL That is perfect.

[lunatica]

30. LOL!

Is that Tracey Ullman? It’s hysterical!

[spooky3]

31. yes it is nt

[dflprincess]

43. She did a great Theresa May as well. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

64. Mein Chancellorette.

I'm dying here

Thanks for sharing!!!

[volstork]

66. "Oh mein Gott!"

They are both just so perfect!

[MontanaMama]

65. That made my day!

[PA Democrat]

5. What a pathetic, inadequate, insecure little man.

He really is intimidated by strong, intelligent women isn't he?

[smirkymonkey]

6. He's such a misogynistic pig.

I hope women come out in droves to vote him out of office.

[Bleacher Creature]

7. Merkel has a Ph.D. in quantum mechanics. NT

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Pfffft! What Do Scientists Know!

Oh, wait! I'm a scientist. Strike that!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. ...

[Blue_true]

16. That was great, especially at the end when Merkel asked for the

cream before the call to Justin Trudeau.

[malaise]

17. Too good

[jimlup]

9. Donald Trump is a misogynist.

Clear and simple. He's the textbook example.

[Squinch]

18. That's why so many Americans voted for him. They love that.

[jimlup]

28. Yes, some of his "base support"

is exactly that.

But that is only his hard core base. We are in the drivers seat. Let's not take our eyes (or hands) off the ball.

[Squinch]

34. His hard core base is 40% of the population. But who is taking their eyes off the ball?

[FakeNoose]

39. No! It was 40% of the Republican voters

... and the number is shrinking daily.

Big difference!

[Squinch]

40. 40% of the country approves of him today. None of the things that have

happened have turned them against him.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/

[stopdiggin]

52. nope. Repuiblican approval is still up around 75-80.

And his overall approval rating (even in this past month of misery) is hovering around 50%. His disapproval rating is growing .. but only by bits and pieces. Numbers have mostly been like a rock -- through 3.5 years.

[jimlup]

44. No I disagree...

I hold that 40% of Americans are not misogynists. That is a mis-characterization of the population and not a useful working number. The number of Trump supporters is far less than 40% when you consider the non-voting segment. In addition, the majority of Trump supporters are just brainwashed fools, not misogynists. Yes, there are misogynists in his camp, he is one of them. But the majority are just, well to put it nicely, idiots.

[stopdiggin]

53. Trump's core support love DJT because he IS Trump

the small minded, petty, vindictive vulgarian .. is the PROGRAM, not a feature.
I have to keep reminding people that the party could have easily (and a lot more rationally) picked a Rubio, a Cruz, a Bush, a Walker, a Jindal -- and the list goes on and on. The Rs chose Trump in a runaway. And it wasn't because he was such a swell guy, or so deeply respected. He was chosen because he's an ass**le.

[Squinch]

57. But they also love his racism and sexism. He says what they are thinking and they think he gives

it legitimacy. That's why they are all proudly coming out of the woodwork to loudly proclaim their racism and sexism.

[Squinch]

55. And I hold that those who are still supporting Donny Bodybags are, by definition, misogynist

and racist. Support for him is a misogynistic and racist act It condones all the racist and sexist acts he commits.

Most are idiots too.

And you are incorrect about the 40%. It's from 538. They break out likely voters, all voters and all adults. It's 40% of all adults. Non-voters and voters. Slightly more than 40%, actually.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/adults/

[MrsCoffee]

58. Nonsense.

They are misogynistic fools and idiots.

[jimlup]

59. Not all of them

but continue to think the way that you do. Blanket thinking is exactly what the orange clown does.

Most are just fools.

[MrsCoffee]

61. Actually, pretending that misogyny is not widespread is exactly what the orange clown and his fools

do.

By the way, we expect our democratic allies to recognize misogyny, not make excuses for it. But continue to think the way that you do.

[jimlup]

63. Last word

last word

[whopis01]

62. I'm not sure what the correct term for them is

But in my opinion his core base of supporters are people who are looking for a target to blame for any problem in their life. And are easily directed to whatever target presents itself.

Immigrants are taking your job.

Mexicans are causing crimes.

Muslims want to kill you.

It is a simple formula:
[Select Group] are the reason that [Select Bad Thing]

[Solly Mack]

10. Pathetic little coward.

[alittlelark]

11. SHOCKED !!! Shocked I tell ya !!!

[Budi]

12. Trump dominates & denigrates all women. Yet he's allowed to do so & oftenheld in high regard for it.

And THIS is who they cheered on.
If ever a woman more represented the #METOO movement, it is Hillary Clinton.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

51. That right there should have lost him the election.

And the moderators should have told him to back off & sit down, and stopped everything until he did.

[smirkymonkey]

56. God, I so fucking hate him.

Just watching that all over again enraged me. I can't even say what I felt like doing to him.

[Hulk]

14. Ah.... is anyone surprised?

What about those children separated from their parents who are being held in cages on our Southern border??

No... we are talking about shocked and surprised that this buffoon who lives in the White House is acting exactly like we would expect him to toward women world leaders.

No... we are talking about this instead of talking about the fact that he either was or should have been informed about his lover Putin paying to kill American troops in Afghanistan.

Do you see where this is going??

[malaise]

15. Imagine referring to someone with a fucking PhD in Quantum Chemistry

as stupid and a fool. It's worse when you know that this was said by a semi-literate asshole who can't put a coherent sentence together in any language.

[Azathoth]

23. In my experience, one of the favorite lines of the over-opinionated under-educated set

is to riff on how "dumb" and lacking in sense the highly educated are. I can't tell how many times I've listened to Joe Sixpack recount a story about how he had to use real world experience and good ol fashioned common sense to save some hopelessly out-of-touch egghead from himself.

It's one of the ways the Trump set deal with their insecurities.

[malaise]

29. You nailed it

and yes I've met a few of them -

[lunatica]

33. The gun humping women do it too

They believe themselves to be the queens of the one liner zing to end all one liners. Their stories of so called talking exchanges are full of that shit. They tell these stories like they’re mic drop moments.

[Nature Man]

60. I knew a PhD biochemist

who is a fervent Trump supporter.

Could never figure that one out, but higher education doesn't erase racism all the time though.

[Submariner]

19. To be expected from a maggot who raped his first wife

[Stuart G]

22. Thank You for the post..."...near sadistic..., when he was speaking to women in same position"

I sure hope this gets around to the entire country. We will see..K and R...

[TDale313]

24. He hates strong women.

This should not be a surprise to anyone who has been paying any attention whatsoever.

[bdamomma]

25. This isn't

no big surprise after he assaulted 20 women and grabs their private parts. He's a pig and a vile POS.

This goes back to his mother who never paid any attention to him.

[soothsayer]

45. Yes

[oldsoftie]

26. Be nice if these ladies would come right out & tell us about it.

I know theres diplomacy and all, but maybe this is more important at this time

[Squinch]

36. Exposing the idiot we elected is not their responsibility.

[SMC22307]

32. K&R

[jcgoldie]

35. Gee thats all so hard to believe...

Theres literally noone in the world who has been awake during the past 4 yrs who doesn’t immediately know with complete certainty that this is all true.

[onetexan]

42. the consolation is in speaking to these 2 capable, highly intelligent women the Idiot must've felt

very small, just like the way Nancy Pelosi makes him feel

[LudwigPastorius]

38. Misogynist, racist, delusional shitbag...

Glad it's being reported, but if anyone out there is only just now starting to realize how malignant and worthless Trump is, they probably shouldn't be allowed to vote, own a gun, or sign a contract on their own behalf.

[dhol82]

47. I think the Alzheimer's is kicking in

One of the hallmarks is lack of filter.
My husband ended up like that at his office. He was rude and offensive for no good reason.
It’s scary because you don’t know why they are acting that way.
I would expect him to start being physical shortly.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

67. If you don't know about this guy's posts about dementia, check him out.

Tom Joseph on Twitter. He goes into detail about Trump's frontotemporal lobe dementia. Videos, lists of symptoms.

[herding cats]

48. He's terrified of powerful women. Just like any weak misogynistic male out there.

Strong women are scary because we threaten their ability to feel entitled by their male privilege. Put a strong woman in power and the misogynist are peeing their pants and ranting like lunatics about her in a diminutive way. Trump is thousands of miles from an exception here. He's literally their poster boy!

When any woman shared his Power level he, of course, tried to go Alpha male on them out of a weak, knee jerk reaction to make him still feel manly. He's just a scared, weak little man beating his chest when faced with a perceived threat from powerful, scary woman.

[Budi]

49. K & R

[Hekate]

50. How humiliating for us that he is now the face of America
