Tough Times at Trump Tower

Is anyone surprised at the numerous women starting to come forward to confirm that Donald Trump improperly made sexual advances to them. Really? It is not shocking or surprising that the Donald Trump we heard on the Access Hollywood video is exactly who he is, an egotistical skirt chasing creep. In the 1970’s and 1980’s men could get away with their aggression and sexual abuse of women because let us not forget, abuse is not about sex, it is about power and in those days, white men had the power and women did not. Today, our society has progressed and those kinds of advances are not tolerated as much especially in the work place. It still happens but with much less frequency. Women these days are much more likely to report bad behavior because they can, and many take it very seriously. When Mr. Trump rails against political correctness this is in part what he is talking about. He wants to go back to the days when white men had all the power and opportunities for women and minorities were only available when the white men said so.

So Donald Trump’s strategy in the political sphere is to dredge up Bill Clinton’s bad behavior when he was President. In my opinion, that is a bad move but not for the obvious reasons. Trump and his brain trust, such as it is, believes that by bringing up Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades he can somehow

tarnish Hillary because she attacked the women. Yeah, duh. Most women who love their husbands would do the same. And further, in situations like that, sympathy and empathy always enures to the scorned wife. Of course Trump and his peeps do not understand that because they have little concept of sympathy or empathy. I believe, however the real danger in this strategy is that you are reminding the American people that not that long ago, we had a philandering creep in the Oval Office and it was a national embarrassment. Do we really want another philandering creep in the White House?
