Donald Trump is escalating his war of words with Hillary Clinton
Mr Donald Trump, the Republican front runner for the presidential nomination, has fought off fresh accusations of sexism after he coined a vulgar new term of abuse while attacking his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
“You’re looking at someone who has had a lot of really awful things said about me… we are not treating each other with the respect and the care that we should show to each other”. “I know where she went and it’s disgusting”, The Donald said afterward. And his bigotry, his bluster, his bullying, have become his campaign.
Lexie Tandy said she had no idea her daughter, a fifth-grader, would ask Clinton a question at the town hall event in Keota, Iowa. “So sometimes I make outrageous comments and give them what they want – viewers and readers – in order to make a point”. She barely edges out Republican Donald Trump – 49 percent picked Clinton and 47 percent picked the businessman, within the poll’s margin of error. “Again, I’m not sure anybody’s surprised that he keeps pushing the envelope”, she added.
Clinton declined to say if she believed Trump was targeting her as a woman when he used such terms Monday.
Voters immediately began calling out the Republican presidential frontrunner for his sexism, but there was one woman who apparently wasn’t surprised by the billionaire’s chauvinist rhetoric – Hillary Clinton.
He said, “What we’re going to see, and what we got a taste of last night, was the misogynistic attacks on Hillary Clinton, which also had a racial appeal, as well”. “I don’t know who would be worse, I don’t know, how could it be worse?”
Since he joined the 2016 White House race in mid-June, Trump’s campaign has been marked by controversy, including disparaging remarks about women, Muslims and Mexican immigrants. On Twitter Tuesday, Trump denied the word was vulgar and said it simply means “beaten badly”.
Mrs Clinton’s campaign communications director tweeted: “We are not responding to Trump but everyone who understands the humiliation this degrading language inflicts on all women should”. “Guess what? It takes a girl longer to go to the bathroom because they can’t go standing up”. “Trump is upset… it’s very hard for him to deal with”.
Now, after spending weeks largely out of the spotlight nationally, Clinton plans to intensify her campaign schedule from an nearly incumbent-style public effort to a more aggressive approach.
