Trump Manages To Be Sexist Even When Denying He's Sexist

Donald Trump manages to insult women even when he is trying to not to. Yesterday, in an interview in Nevada where he was asked about his treatment of women, he said, “A lot of that was done for the purpose of entertainment. I can tell you this: There is nobody — nobody — that has more respect for women than I do”. The tone-deaf nature of this comment is just remarkable. I’m not sure saying that you’re being sexist because it is good fun and entertainment is actually any less insulting than just being a sexist period. The former implies that you know it’s insensitive but you don’t really care. Considering he needs every vote he can get from suburban women, I’m not sure this is really going to help.
