This can't stand! Can you imagine if Trump dumped a glass of wine on Angela Merkel or called her a nasty name? Can you say WWIII?

COMMENTS: 
*  ... And yet, Republican women are falling all over him and intend to vote for him.  If they like him so much, what does that say about the type of women they are?
    *  They are either ignorant of his misogynist history, or they have no self respect. 
*  Treating People Like Dirt:  The new name for the Republican Party.  
*  Trump is as crude & rude as possible; fits the wingnutz to a T.
*  Sorry. We expect basic decency from our co-workers, family, and friends. We certainly expect it from our president. If we can't get that much out of him, he should not be given even a chance at the presidency.
    *   That he would consider decency as a weakness is utterly pathetic and really stupid.
*  Wonder how he would treat Queen Elizabeth or Angela Merkel.
    *  He would call them stupid tramps then critique their hair and clothing as not classy. 
*  So he is a perfect fit for today's Republican Party . He not only espouses what they think about women in general but he embraces it!!  Keep keeping it real Donn! - they luvs ya!
*  Donald Trump, despite his billions, is simply a miserable human being. I am a lifelong registered Republican but I will vote for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders before I ever vote for Donald Trump.
    *  He's no different from any of the other antisocial lunatics running for the Republican nomination.
        *  he's just more upfront about his views on women  ; )

‘You Have to Treat 'Em like Shit’: Before Megyn Kelly, Trump Dumped Wine on a Female Reporter
Attacking women for doing their jobs is nothing new for The Donald. It fact, it’s his M.O.
By Asawin Suebsaeng, August 8, 2015

Long before Donald Trump verbally attacked Megyn Kelly for doing her job, the billionaire physically went after a female journalist whom he hated.

"She had blood coming out of her eyes. Or blood coming out of her wherever," Trump said of Kelly Friday night on CNN, a day after she noted at the Republican debate that Trump has called women “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.” (Trump has since said “wherever” was code for Kelly’s “nose.”)

Not only does Trump behave toward women in degrading ways, he is proud to do so.

Trump “boasts about having poured a whole bottle of wine down Marie Brenner’s back after she wrote a story on him that he hated,” New York magazine reported in 1992.

“Well, it wasn’t a bottle, actually—it was a glass,” Brenner told The Daily Beast on Saturday. “I didn’t even notice it was happening, because like everything with Donald, it was a stealth maneuver. It came from behind.”

“It was a black jacket, so I’m still waiting for him to replace it,” she chuckled.

(The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment by The Daily Beast.)

In 1990, Brenner profiled Trump and then-wife Ivana for Vanity Fair, brutally detailing the dissolution of their marriage.

“How can you say you love us? You don’t love us! You don’t even love yourself. You just love your money,” 12-year-old Donald Jr. told his father, according to Brenner’s profile.

“What kind of son have I created?” Trump’s mother, Mary, reportedly asked Ivana.

During the divorce proceeding that followed, Ivana in a sworn deposition accused Trump of "violating" her during sex, which she once used the word “rape” to describe. (Trump called the accusation “obviously false” and Ivana distanced herself from her own statement last month.)

Trump’s history of misogyny is not limited to Kelly, Brenner, and Ivana. For decades, he has degraded and objectified women, from Rosie O’Donnell to his own daughter, Ivanka.  

Trump even admitted this was his M.O.

"You have to treat 'em like shit," Trump told friend Philip Johnson, according to New York.

"You'd make a good mafioso," Johnson replied.

"One of the greatest," The Donald assured him.

Treating women like shit. Some things never change.
