Yea, that’s a terrible exchange, that does no direct damage to trump, MK comes across as a condescending bitch with the tone and content, that wasn’t a question that was a lecture/attack attempting to be presented as a question.
However, with that said, its important to note, what is said and what is reported particularly in politics are never the same things.
Based on the video, MK is the one who comes across badly not Trump. I think trump can easily handle what they are clearly trying to spin this as, by simply saying SEE I TOLD YOU SO THE PRESS JUST LIE, again like he did with his comments on Mexico weeks ago. However if he keeps tweeting or retweeting comments about MK or other women calling them bimbos he’s undermining a bit of that argument.
MK definitely can be called many things, but she certainly is not a Bimbo. Calling her that, doesn’t come across as being non PC, because there are plenty of legitimate attacks that could be made against her, but that one does come off a bit misogynistic.
I think trying to paint Trump as a woman hater isn’t going to work out all that well, but it is clear that this is going to be the attack they are going to try to have dominate the news cycle for the next few days to see if it can stick. That was completely obvious in the post debate MK show, that they were setting up the story to be trump is anti woman.... Flagrant propoganda and so easy to spot, but most people are casual observers at this point.
The problem with Trump, is Trump is Trump... He’s large, he’s bombastic, he’s out there... but the thing about him is, he’s also someone everyone has seen week in and week out for what? A decade or more now? Without the political filtering or spin of a candidate. Most people know at some level who trump is, and have an opinion of him, and like it or not, most folks don’t find him offensive, and they aren’t going to just view him as a woman hater because MK got her panties in a bunch (and yes, that’s a sexist comment). Trump is not some obscure politician that most folks have never seen before this election cycle, her being snippy with him or him being less than nice to her in return is not likely to really move the needle for most people because they have seen enough of him in other settings to have, or at least feel, they have context about this guy. So trying to define him with a single sound byte is going to be impossible.
Very clever take on this. I do believe you made come great points.
