Trump Defies Advisers, Insists on Being 'Protector' of Women

 

Former President Donald Trump revealed that his advisers had cautioned him against describing himself as a "protector" of women, a phrase he used in late September and reiterated at a recent rally in Wisconsin. Despite their advice, Trump doubled down on his stance, stating, "I'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them from migrants coming in. I'm going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit us with missiles and lots of other things".

Trump's remarks have sparked controversy, with critics arguing that his paternalistic tone alienates female voters. Harris campaign aides were quick to highlight the comments, suggesting they reflect Trump's disregard for women's autonomy. The former president's insistence on this rhetoric comes as he struggles to gain traction among female voters, a demographic that has historically been challenging for him.

As the election approaches, Trump's campaign continues to navigate the delicate balance of appealing to his base while attempting to broaden his support among key voter groups.
