Strong Women Are Driving Donald Trump Crazy

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.”

I’m kind of put out to discover I am a frail, mewling mouth, rain soaked kittenish human of indeterminate biology struggling to bring equality among others who may or may not share my biology. That’s all lot to take on!

I don't think Harris is nuts. Stupid? Yes. Airhead? Yes.

After all, she was Willie Brown's mistress.

These people are laughable...

Go watch Trump’s video on the golf course, yea he really sounds like a guy who is being driven crazy by these supposedly “strong” women.

My grandma was a stronger woman than any of these nitwits.

I’m a strong woman (4 children, PHD education) and I will forever say that Woman are simply unfit for some things. There might be one out of 100 thousand mentally and emotionally equipped to run a country. I’m 90 and I won’t change what I know from experience.
