Oh Dear God Help Me Not Slap This Man Upside The Head
Donald Damn Trump.
Celebrity tycoon Donald Trump continued his tour of New Hampshire on Monday by saying at a campaign rally prior to an Atkinson town hall with “Today” that women who wear burkas may be doing so to avoid putting on make-up.
That right there is his entire understanding of the Middle East: Life is easier for women in burkas because they don’t have to put on makeup.
Oh hell yes, there’s a video.
Yeah, yeah, here’s a man yakkin’ his mouth about oppressed women being so lucky because they don’t have to wear make-up.
How ’bout this, Donald? How ’bout we make all women lucky by putting a sack over your damn head?
It cannot get worse. There is no worse. Please tell me this is the worse. Please.
Makeup. We will have a foreign policy based on makeup.
Thanks to Carol for the heads up.
the world is going to hell in a hand basket………..
1He needs to be slapped into last week.
2This from a man who admits to using hairspray? Dawg knows why he would want to hold that ‘style’ in place.
Anyway, don’t hold back, Mrs. B. Give T-Rump the slapadural he deserves and a few gohmert punches for good measure.
So, he revealed his secret ISIL plan. ‘K Donald, we’re sure your juvenile insults will encourage ISIL to drop their weapons.
3I once flew from Doha to Paris across from a young woman who was covered head to toe when we left Doha but dressed to the nines (including bleach-blonde hair, gels, skin-tight jeans and knee-high stiletto boots) when we got off in Paris. And one young woman in Doha told me she sometimes wore her abaya to class over her pajamas if she didn’t feel like dressing.
But neither of those was any of the young women who seemed to travel in packs with their (common) husbands and 3 to 5 kids each.
tRump is mind-boggling.
4And people without feet are just incredibly lucky ’cause they don’t have to worry about wearing out their shoes.
5@Mike
tRump already operates in the past, the distant past. He needs to be propelled in the future. Like 5000AD.
6Does Trump understand anything?
7He would know what a pain that is, considering his (ex)wives probably spent hours putting on their face.
8I’m sure The Donald would look fabulous in a Véronique designed burkha. Made, naturally, in one of his Chinese sweat shops.
9I remember reading an article a few years ago written by a Western reporter, a woman who worked in the Middle East frequently. She talked about flying into countries where women were required to wear the garb and that before the wheels hit the ground, all women were to be hidden away beneath the black. (It has stuck with me this fact about “before the wheels hit the ground” because after the plane touched ground, they were subject to arrest for breaking the law.) Anyway, she wrote hauntingly about how putting her burka completely changed her sense of self, her sense of her humanity, her confidence, everything good that she felt about herself. Which is of course rather the point, isn’t it.
10Some men might rethink the whole concept if they read an article where a woman said that a burqa made it easier to go and meet her lover because nobody could recognize her.
Of course that’s assuming she could get out of the house and not be whipped in the street for not being accompanied by a male relative.
I saw a family in the park on a warm day– husband and kids dressed in the usual way, wife in a black robe and covered head to toe except for her eyes. And that fool thinks she would do that to avoid the bother of putting on makeup?
In the dictionary next to “clueless jackwagon,” there’s a picture of… okay, there are a lot of pictures, but he’s one of them.
11Corinne Sabo … NO!! He understands absolutely NOTHING!!
12I know The Donald’s hair needs work, but he’d better stay away from Juanita Jean’s Worlds Most Dangerous Beauty Salon when he is in Texas. But seriously, he’s in New England, where a good many LLBean women like myself don’t give a hoot about makeup. So who’s the joke for? Yuk Yuk. You’re Fired!
13I’m sorry but there ain’t enough of anything/everything that would improve Trump’s looks,his humanity or anything else.
14Trump probably looked in the mirror one morning while he was trying to do something, anything with that hair on his head and thought, if only I could just wear a baseball hat all the time… maybe with a slogan on it… hey! That must be why woman wear burkas too… it’s a time saver.
15Considering Donald Trump’s wife experience seems to be mostly confined to Eastern European Truck Stop Lot Lizards, his inexperience with women of the world is limited…
16Donald the Hair, as well with Conservative men in the Middle East, know what secretly makes a women happy.
17Men suicide bombers are only promised 40 Virgins when they go to Heaven while women suicide bombers are promised a spanking new Maytag washer and dryer!
And he really believes he belongs in the White House!
18Living in his own world.
This Just In: Donald Trump Shocked To Discover That He Is A World-Class Idiot.
19He has to be trolling the world. I mean, he HAS to be.
20Maybe Trump should stop by the salon. Ms. Juanita could just take a little off the top. Like about 18 inches.
21There is just nothing to add. Except a long string of unacceptable profanity.
22trump-an the vulgarian — what more can anyone expect or even anticipate? This guy thinks the United States of America is a casino!
23Miss JJ, how bout you re-do Donnie’s do – with a CHAINSAW!
24I agree that Trump is an idiot. However, in 2014, I read “Women and Islam: Myths, Apologies, and the Limits of Feminist Critique” by Ibtissam Bouachrine. The book discusses both feminist critiques and defenses of Islam. The defenses, as I recall, were mostly of the form “if we go back to the original Islam”, perhaps similar (or not) to attempts to go back to the “original Christianity”. One Muslim feminist did, however, describe going to a high-end clothing store in New York City and how Muslim women wouldn’t fit into those clothes, so burqas made a concern about fashion unnecessary. Others responded that, in real life, most women, Muslim and non-Muslim, don’t shop at such stores. (There was a lot of back and forth in the book and conservatives love to see feminists fighting, but feminists are no different than any other academic or political field, where sides are taken and verbal brawls break out.)
25Hitting Trump upside the head would be very dangerous. There are few harder substances in existence.
26I honestly can’t think of anyone dumber than Trump except the people who attend his appearances and actually believe he could be anything more than a carnival barker. Fabulous, just fabulous.
27Hey! The NY Times swears that Ben Carson is now leading El Donaldo by 14 points. I’m not in favor of Carson but heck its still over a year to the national election and at the moment there isn’t anyone in the Repug slate that is worth anything anyway. But it looks as if for the first time Trump has been Trumped to any degree and frankly he did it to hisownself!
28I saw a television interview with a Saudi Arabian woman who had lived in the US for a time. She said she appreciated the burka and the other segregated areas for women because they made her feel safe and protected. These women may be perfectly happy in their garb.
But yes, of course, the Donald is an idiot and has no thought processes at all going on under that little hair hat.
29PEOPLE magazine had a cover story about Trump.
30If Republican have taught us anything it was this: Just when you think it can’t get any worse, they work very hard to make you wrong.
It’s really the only time that they work hard.
31Well, women wearing burkas have no say–cultural or legal–in the matter but let’s follow Trump’s U.S.-shouldn’t-impose-it’s-standards-on-other-countries doctrine down another
rabbit hole:
U.S. financial aid to family planning programs abroad should no longer mandate recipient countries end legal abortions as a condition to such assistance.
That ought to be agreeable to The Donald’s slavering followers (Ben Carson’s, too).
32The ever flailin; whalin’ and failin’ Palin put Trump up to this. She wants exclusive Red Bull disrtibutorship in Muslimland. Pistol Bralin wants exclusive rights to teach abstinence only to jihadist women. Tawd wants to have exclusive contract to sell snow machines to desert dwellers. All on the gubmint teat,of course.
33Trump fully believes no woman is happy (and fulfilled) unless she is naked and draped all over Trump.
34Get in line, JJ.
No one believed me when I told them about the real Donald Trump. People thought I was kidding.
Nope. I couldn’t make this stuff up. I tried to warn people.
The man really is a piece of… something.
35A Saudi Arabian woman might feel safer segregated and in a burka, but she’s had a whole lot of years of men in authority telling her that’s how she should feel. People tend to be comfortable with what they’re used to.
I suspect that a Saudi Arabian young girl raised in an American environment might feel differently.
36A Turkish friend told me that the women, many of them, that visit from Iran, as soon as they are off the plane, take off the burka and DO put on a pretty face.
37Mary Kay and Avon just switched parties.
38The boy is trying really hard to be unelectable. Give him a chance, eh? He’s almost got it done.
Ben Carson, just getting started being unelectable.
39As they say at Wonkette, Trump is A Idiot. The malls in these countries have sections just for women and every high-end retailer is there. Maybe in public it’s the burka, but at home it can be the latest styles and looks. It’s about being sexy for your man… not the world. Fine. We in the West have a different idea about such things but the Don’s comment again illustrates his igorance or stupidity or both.
40If my choices were wearing a burka or spending a week with Trump, I’d choose the burka.
41LynneN #26:
“Hitting Trump upside the head would be very dangerous.”
You could shatter his hair and lacerate your hand.
42Not surprising that Trump is focusing on makeup and burkas. All of his opinions and observations are skin-deep.
43how does the Onion continue to exist?
