If there's any single area of President Donald Trump's life that looms largest, both as a private citizen and now as an elected politician, it's his treatment of women. One of the most recurrent themes throughout the 2016 presidential campaign was sexism, whether leveled against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton or demonstrated by Trump himself. But plenty of women refuse to be silenced ― and there are many women in Trump's life who took a stand against him.
Make no mistake, there are myriad reasons a woman might want to take a stand against Trump. There are the right-wing policies he's advanced as president that have hurt women, such as ending the Obamacare birth control mandate. .........................
Here are some of the women who've stood up to and spoken out against Trump throughout his life as a real estate mogul, a reality TV host, a presidential candidate, and, indeed, as president of the United States.
1. Jill Harth
Harth was one of the first women to publicly and openly accuse Trump of some form of sexual misconduct ― with the exception of his first wife Ivana, who recanted her allegation ― by suing him for harassment in 1997. Harth claims Trump allegedly groped her; Trump called her accusation "meritless."
In 2016, she added her story to the surge of misconduct allegations against Trump, joining more than a dozen other women.

Zervos was a contestant on the fifth season of Trump's reality TV hit The Apprentice. During the presidential campaign, she alleged that Trump kissed and groped her without consent in a Beverly Hills hotel room in 2007. ..............................................

Trump was also accused of unwanted sexual advances and forced kissing by adult film star Jessica Drake, who claims Trump invited her to a Lake Tahoe hotel room in 2006. According to Drake, she brought two friends with her to ease her discomfort, and Trump allegedly greeted the trio by immediately hugging and kissing them without consent, and allegedly offered her $10,000 to have sex with him, an offer she says she declined.

7. Hillary Clinton

This is an obvious one, but no less true. Clinton, as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, was as vocal and strident a critic of Trump's as any throughout the campaign. The phrase "Hillary warned us" is a very familiar sight on social media, often whenever Trump validates her warnings about giving the nuclear codes to someone so easily baited by tweets.
And she's continued delivering dire warnings as his presidency has unfolded. Just last month, in fact, Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow that she worried Trump would aspire to emulate Russian president Vladimir Putin, a glaring comment from a former political rival..................................

Donald Trump Wants to Be Like 'Manspreader' Vladimir Putin, Says Clinton

President Donald Trump’s kinship with Russian President Vladimir Putin stems from his desire to follow in his footsteps, Hillary Clinton told MSNBC Thursday.
"He doesn't just like Putin, he wants to be like Putin,” Clinton told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, reflecting on the 2016 election. “He wants to have that kind of power that is largely unaccountable, unchecked."
Clinton, who won nearly 3 million more votes than Trump in the past election but lost the electoral college, said that Trump’s campaign against her showed he “admires authoritarians,” and his encouragement for chants to “lock her up” only makes her anxious about the future of the U.S., not her personal security.
“I don’t personally worry,” she said, dismissing the notion of there being any legal case against her that warranted Trump’s campaign promise to hire a special prosecutor (though, she said, he may still try to for publicity purposes). “I have no doubt that if he got into serious political trouble, he'd try to gin something up about me or President Obama. We are his two favorite targets. I worry it is indicative of the kind of self-image that he has, not only of himself but of what the president should be able to do, and that's why it's really imperative that the Republicans in Congress rein that in.”...........................................
