The disconnect between President Trump and female voters is serious and not getting better. That’s a potentially big problem for Republicans in the November elections — but only if the women opposed to the president turn out to vote.
Trump’s election divided an already fractured country, deepening the red-blue chasm that has become the defining feature of today’s politics. But the revulsion among many women toward the president adds another layer to the politics of discontent.
Trump is doing nothing to mitigate the problem. Just the opposite. A man accused by multiple women of sexual misbehavior, he seems to take special delight in denigrating women, especially House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. In one comment at a rally in Montana last Thursday, he mocked Warren and the #MeToo movement, and he also went after Waters.
Overseas, his relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel is particularly strained, and he seems to have only a tenuous bond with British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Until recently, he enjoyed far better relations with French President Emmanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, but his trade policies have caused strains with those male leaders, too. Those relationships will get new tests at the upcoming NATO summit and as trade wars heat up. Meanwhile, he acts chummy toward Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.

Washington Post liberal wondering why women DO support Trump.
So....Macron and Trudeau turn out to be women.
As was long suspected.
Screw the Post.
WAPO and the “Big Lie”. Trump actually does pretty well with women.
In Leftworld view, criticizing liberal women is sexual assault and criticizing black liberals like Obama is racist.
Using “disconnect” as a noun is like using “data” as a collective noun or “less” when “fewer” is appropriate.
There is already a serviceable noun — “disconnection” — to use with the verb “disconnect.”
I have no idea why this was introduced but it is more of dumbing down of the USA.
When I read articles by “journalists” who cannot properly use the ONLY tool of their trade (grammar) it is like watching a carpenter use a wrench as a hammer.
And I weigh the content accordingly.
(/grammar nazi)
This article is just loaded with data to confirm its thesis. Do I really need this? /s/
Dan Balz is such a dick.
Republicans who don't stand firm about the Deplorable Agenda are the problem. Take not defending Roy Moore, for example. Backing down to the maniacs only emboldens them and makes decent people feel that principles are a lost cause.
Perhaps what is needed is Karen Pence out there on the campaign trail.
Left wishful thinking.
I don’t think Trump is going to have to worry about May much longer...
The only women who DON’T like Trump are liberal men.
(i mean besides the usual suspects)
Hey Dan Balz, I have a question for you.
What problem?
“...he seems to take special delight in denigrating women, especially House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and his 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton”
Yes, because these particular women SUCK.
.
And the fake news rolls on!
.
This begs so many questions.
Such as, why did a majority of white women vote for Trump?
Why did a majority of married women vote for Trump?
.
Those ‘particular’ women denigrate themselves.
.
53% of white women voted for a trump.
