“From the earliest days of his presidential candidacy in 2015 to a Trump Tower news conference last Friday, Donald Trump has repeatedly attempted to attack, embarrass and threaten the women standing in his way — especially on the debate stage,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump has, of course, treated men with intense bellicosity. But a review of his onstage clashes with women shows how, over nine years in politics, he has honed a playbook of explicitly gendered attacks against both female candidates and journalists that he is likely to draw from on Tuesday when he debates Vice President Kamala Harris.”
“Mr. Trump has used his physical presence and body language to intimidate women, made veiled threats, complained that they were uniquely mean and belittled their qualifications in a way that many women view as open sexism.”
