Analysis Trumps Mika tweets underscore a dark reality: For him, its always about gender

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When it comes to how he talks about, addresses and tweets about women, President Trump is having a bad week.

But his overtly sexist remarks about and to two female journalists are part of a consistent pattern of behavior from him: When Trump feels threatened by a woman, he tries to undercut them by reducing them to stereotypes about their looks and a bag of emotions. Actually, he does that to some degree to men, too. For Trump, it's all about gender, always.

This week alone, he's done that a couple times. On Thursday, he tried to reduce one of the most well-known and powerful female journalist in all of media to a facelift.

On Tuesday at an Oval Office conference with reporters, he told an Irish journalist to come over to his desk and told Ireland's newly elected prime minister, who was on the phone, that “she has a nice smile on her face. So, I bet she treats you well.” The video is hard to watch:

And on Sunday, in an Associated Press interview, he referred yet again to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as “Pocahontas” — a not overtly sexist but still complicated and demeaning attack on her identity.

Trump consistently tries to undercut his female opponents — of any party — by leveling her to a bag of emotions and attractiveness (or lack thereof), said Kelly Dittmar, an assistant professor of political science at Rutgers University-Camden, who just finished a study on the role of gender in the presidential campaign.

“One way he exercises his 'masculine power' is to talk to and about women on the basis of their appearance, instead of more substance,” she said.

1. Always

2. He is very immature, still plays the games he played while in his very young life. No

manners, no dignity, I don't think a seventy one year old man has the ability to correct his life.

3. It is in most all women's lives. On a daily basis.

I would imagine there is a little anger in that.

4. Our Immature Doofus

Chitolini has the maturity of a particularly immature ten year old boy. What an embarrassment, what a stain on America's history.

I get the overt racists, the Neo Nazi types, etc, but what on earth is wrong with his otherwise sane supporters?

If we do not take back congress in 2018 Heaven help us.

We are at a precarious point and it would seem to be prudent for us to study the past and how to deal with a riight wing scare....I just got Timothy Snyder's book "On Tryanny", it has 20 important points on what to look for and what to do if signs point the wrong way.
