Strong Women Are Driving Donald Trump Crazy

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s always a good idea to pay attention to Nancy Pelosi and to judge where things are going by which direction she’s nudging them in, but that was especially true over the past few weeks. When she started sending President Biden signals that he should reconsider his candidacy, I felt almost certain that he’d eventually do so, because she was both giving other Democrats permission to break ranks with him and letting him and his allies know the extent and inevitability of the rebellion.

And I realized that Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t face any competition for the Democratic nomination when Pelosi endorsed her. That was the sign.

In other words, Pelosi, a woman who so ably foiled Donald Trump when he was president and she was House speaker, helped make it possible — and then confirmed — that another woman, Harris, would lead the charge to foil him from becoming president again.

It’s a veritable Hollywood movie. Women are scripting what will happen to Trump, who has treated women with such cruelty and contempt.

They still don’t enjoy full equality with men in America, but we sure have been leaning on them lately to save American democracy. The appallingly stymied attempts to hold Trump responsible for his crimes have rested largely on the efforts of women, a few of whom did vanquish him in court, as my Times Opinion colleague Jessica Bennett noted in an essay in April. She did a roll call of his pursuers: “Letitia James. Fani Willis. E. Jean Carroll, and her lawyer Roberta Kaplan. And, of course, Stormy Daniels. The five women who are living rent-free in Mr. Trump’s mind these days.”

When you try to make “strong” a synonym for “psychopathic,” you’re not thinking carefully.

more like idiotic women

[sphinx]

This is bull baiting, pure and simple, and we are in for three more months of it. The democrats know that it’s all idiot bait, but they think Trump can’t help himself and will overreact in hugely self-destructive ways.

Which he might.

Right now it’s Trump’s election to lose. Goading Trump into overreaction is the democrats’ best play.

POTUS Trump has come to disdain strongly corrupt, unethical and immoral women.

Hopefully, all Americans concur, after observing the trail of their footprint toward creating unmitigated chaos around the world, but particularly in America.

[silent_jonny]

The RNC was filled with strong female speakers—most, if not all, requested by Trump.

[redgolum]

The push is on.

Real women vote for Kameela. Or what ever she demands we call her.

And it looks like it is working.

[MinorityRepublican]

Donald Trump will lose to Oprah or Michelle Obama if they were running for President. But that’s not the case. They have Kamala Harris instead.

[vivenne]

Wow. They can’t keep their BS straight.

[goodnesswins]

Oh, what a pantload!!!!

Was this written by a man, or is Frank transitioning, and is it from Frank to Frankie or Frankie to Frank. Or maybe its Francine or Fannie.

Fallen women

[Texas Fossil]

The Strong Women that I know (including my wife) DO NOT Vote for ☭Democrats.

They think for themselves and refuse to look at the Lies and Propaganda that MSM sprays.

[hoagy62]

I agree...but if I recognize the uniform, those are Israeli IDF soldiers.

Strong American women?

[T.B. Yoits]

Except the "strong women" are men with Gender Dysphoria feeding their egos by beating women in sports.

[TexasFreeper2009]

We have no issue with strong women like Margret Thatcher, we just have an issue with women who are shrill like Hillary and who sleep their way to the top like Kamala or any leftist lunatic woman.

[Track9]

These “strong women” will be in bat sh@t crazy therapy sessions when DJT wins in a landslide.

[RckyRaCoCo]

That's not chicken...

Those aren't women...
