What’s up with Donald Trump and ‘the women’? Not what you might think.

“Trump’s Top Women,” the headline read. And the subhead: “Surprise! Mr. Macho’s Inner Circle Isn’t An All-Boys’ Club.”'...

Trump has consistently hired women for positions of real power in his organization...

Twenty-six years ago...four of the eight people in Trump’s innermost circle were women...

...Res and Sprague both described Trump as a supportive boss who gave them a shot in an industry that was particularly unwelcoming to women.

“When I first started at this, I’d find nasty drawings of myself on the job site, and men would try to intimidate me by peeing on the girders,” says Res of the years right around the time she met Trump.

...he hired her for his signature project, because he liked the way she stood up to the men when he was working for another builder...

...back when Trump drove his own limo to Res’ father’s funeral because the chauffeur was off that day.

Sprague...says that Trump did not hire her because “I am a woman. He just hired who he thought was the best person for the job.”...

Both Res and Sprague agree...he treated them equally once they were there — with no sexist diminishment and certainly no added deference....

“He never even indicated — maybe I should feel badly about this — that I was a woman. It just wasn’t an issue.”...

The most trusted of those is his daughter, Ivanka, who replaced Kepcher at Trump’s side on and off the screen. His longtime executive assistant, Rhona Graff (whose title is senior vice president — assistant to the president), and his publicist, Hope Hicks (whom he “discovered” when she was working for Ivanka’s fashion line and who now helms his campaign PR), are also in his daily orbit. ...

Cohen says the women are paid more too.

Women get pregnant at the worst times and leave and women cry to get their way in the workplace. There’s a double standard, it’s wrong, and they should be paid less IMNSHO.

Trump always surrounds himself with strong women. He's not afraid. ;^)

“Cruz is finished....”

Indeed.

Tuesday evening Trump will no longer be the presumptive nominee, he will have become the nominee on the Republican ticket for President of the United States. Exciting.

Cruz will continue to try to be a PIA, but he will likely find that even Texas doesn’t want him anymore.

I believe that Cruz is mentally ill. He will have to face the complete failure of his lifelong dream. I think he will be at risk of suicide, especially if he realizes that his failure was completely his own fault.

I remember a rally of his in Virgina a few months ago, where Trump introduced the woman who runs his vineyard and winery in Charlottesville, Virginia. He asked her to step up to the mic and say a few words.

She stepped up to the lectern and said, “If you want a man who demands perfection and inspires greatness; he’s your man.” And went back to her seat.

IMHO....That pretty well covers it.

Good article until you hit the last paragraph:

“Yes, he’s a megalomaniac,” says Res (who offers that she plans to vote for Hillary Clinton for president). “And I don’t see how any woman can support him because of the way he talks about women in public. But he wasn’t like that to the people who worked for him, not his top people. Go figure.”

Since Trump values loyalty, I'm sure he is sorry he ever hired this woman.

You know the reporter couldn’t leave it at the facts (which make Trump look good). She had to trow in a dig at the end.

The loyalty angle struck me also. Trump was good to her, and this is how she replays him?

I am proud to have Senator Cruz for my Senator. He has been available for every important Senate issue during this campaign. A senator doesn’t have to be in Washington, DC 24/7 to do his job. Being out with the people and addressing current political issues is important also. I was also proud to have George Bush as my governor while he campaigned for the presidency.

The horror! He hires people for their talent. The cultural marxists will not tolerate this in the ussa.

Nah...
It's got to be a trick; an illusion.
Everyone knows that Trump is a homophobe, sexist, racist xenophobic enemy of the entire humanity.

Just ask the Soros, Valerie, Michele, barack, Sanders, Kasich, Cruz, Rubio and LGBTQWERTY, SJW, BLM, GOPe contested convention losers...

They all agree. With enough money to throw at "anyone but Trump," it's a no-brainer, according to the brainiacs.

You are way beyond gullible,and have no clue as to your responsibilities to honor the oath of office. You do not take the oath,then haul butt looking for a new job. Do you pay a gardener,then stand flat footed as he goes to estates or country clubs for a better job on your dime? If you are that dense,I have some swamp land to sell you. No wonder the jerk has been getting away with crap.
