Trump Slammed For Sexism After Telling Women 'We're Getting Your Husbands Back To Work'

After narrowly winning the support of suburban white women in 2016, polls show that President Donald Trump isn't seeing the same support with the key demographic in 2020.

As a result, Trump has attempted to appeal to them in the last months of his campaign.


Earlier this summer, Trump attempted to stoke racist fears that "suburban housewives" would be left vulnerable by expanded low-income housing he says would occur under the administration of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

He doubled down on those attacks by trying to paint Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ)—a vegan known for his hugs and for saving women from burning buildings—as a terrifying prospect to run Biden's Housing and Urban Development department. People largely thought Trump assumed Booker would stoke fear because he's a Black man.

After begging suburban women at rallies to "please like" him, Trump is now using 1950s rhetoric to appeal to them.

Watch below.

Claiming he was "saving suburbia," Trump said at a Nebraska rally:

"[suburban women] want security. They want safety. They want law and order. ... I'm also getting your husbands, They want to get back to work. They want to get back to work. We're getting your husbands back to work, and everybody wants it."

As displayed by his "suburban housewives" comment, Trump seemed to yet again not realize that millions of women across suburban America have—or had, before the pandemic—jobs of their own.

People were unsettled by the antiquated assertion.







Men were quick to mock him as well.



The presidential election is on November third, but it could be longer before we know whether or not suburban white women have soured on Trump.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
