Why Women Should Vote For Trump

And falling for this particular confidence scheme won’t just cost you, it’ll cost all of us.

I’m an affluent 30-something divorced, white, childless, American woman with multiple postgraduate degrees, and a busy career. I’ve lived abroad in several metropolitan cities and I own my home. According to every single statistic, I should be a J.D. Vance-loathing single cat lady.

Lest we forget, the presidency is not a popularity contest. There seems to be some confusion on that front. You aren’t casting a ballot for Prom Queen, you’re voting for the leader of the free world. It’s why that little thing called the Electoral College exists.

I’ve heard other women say they’re voting for Vice President Kamala Harris because “she’s more iconic” than Trump. My response: what about inflation, foreign or domestic policy, war, immigration, education, human trafficking, or any other serious issue?

The truth is, if you actually voted for real pro-women policies, you’d vote for Trump.

That's why the Democratic Party has spent untold millions making Abortion the #1 issue for women. White women alone make up 40% of the electoral vote and 89 million American women total are registered to vote, making us the largest voting bloc in the nation. In 2020, swing states like Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania saw women vote at record rates, with Biden winning 57% of female voters.

We hold serious power. Hence why Democrats want to convince women that the unrestricted right to abortion is more important than the right to vote, freedom of speech, or any other right you can think of. Make abortion equalitarian with being female and tell them they are physically under attack by the GOP. Oh, and also by the Supreme Court. We can’t forget them. Democrats have done such a good job with this indoctrination that, in a recent viral video, young women said they would rather have the right to an abortion over the right to vote. What are they teaching girls in schools these days?

Yet even if you're a passionately pro-choice voter, it's silly to consider abortion as the critical issue at stake in this election. After all, Trump has already said he doesn't favor a national abortion ban and that he would veto any such bill. According to KFF, only 14% of American women - or 7% of the American population - have had an abortion at some point in their life, 21% being Black, 19% Hispanic, and 11% White women.

In contrast, 100% of Americans - women included - have to buy food, pay medical bills, and want to know their tax dollars are going to help them in an emergency. Just ask the victims of Hurricane Helene as they were offered a measly $750 after FEMA gave billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars away to noncitizens and foreign countries under the Biden Harris Administration.

We’ve been inundated with the message that voting for an objectively unpopular and recognized failure of a Vice President because she loves abortion, possesses a female reproductive system, and is of minority ethnicity is more important than anything else that matters.

Trump's record speaks for itself and is deserving of closer attention by female voters. The former president approved the largest paid parental leave program in history, guaranteeing 12 weeks of paid leave. He directed more than $200 million per year to technology education grants for women and programs that encouraged STEM careers. He founded the Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative, the first-ever government program focused on advancing women’s “full and free participation” in the global economy. Trump also shone a spotlight on under-the-radar domestic women’s issues, establishing a task force for missing and murdered Native American women. Under the Trump administration, women’s unemployment reached the lowest level in 67 years and women received over 70% of new jobs.

Last I checked, those policies affect far more than 14% of the female population.

Even Trump recognizes this. He recently observed, “Women want to have safety. They want to have a strong military. They want to have a strong police force… They want to be in their house and they want to be safe. … I hope they like my personality… But to me, it wouldn’t be very important, the personality.”

He's right. This is not a personality contest. It's not about which candidate is more "iconic." It is our duty as citizens to vote for the best policies, laws, and chances for us and our loved ones to thrive for years to come. Women voters are no exception to this rule.

So, from one would-be single cat lady to a nation of others, consider this: voting for the rich white man in this election doesn’t make you evil.

Maureen Calahan is a NYC writer who would have described herself as a Never Trumper, and Megyn Kelly has one of the most difficult personal histories with Trump as anyone...yet in this clip they explain how by “shrinking my ego” they have come to voting for Trump:

There is hope.

I have long had the impression that many folks (including women) don’t pay any attention to what Mr. Trump has done as ex-president; they just don’t like like his seeming attitude about some things & pay little attention to what he is saying or has done previously. If we get 4 more years of anything resembling this present administration, maybe this attitude will change. I have already lived a long time but never can I remember anything quite as bad as the Biden administration. Remember what Harris said abut this; she didn’t think she would change things much if she were elected. Not what most Americans want to hear I am guessing.

IF they cheat harris in, it will be much much worse- she is more radical far left than biden-
