Last night Donald Trump, America’s favorite orange-faced semi-Fascist, risked alienating his many white supremacist fanboys by turning to Yiddish in an attempt to insult Hillary Clinton.
Referring to Clinton’s previous run for the presidency, Trump told a crowd in Michigan that
she was favored to win — and she got schlonged, she lost, I mean she lost.
In the same, er, speech, Trump also brought up Hilary’s now-famous bathroom break during the last Democratic debate — she was late returning to the podium, apparently because the women’s bathroom was so far away — by affecting great disgust at the very notion of women having a tinkle in the toilet.
I know where she went, it’s disgusting, I don’t want to talk about it. No, it’s too disgusting. Don’t say it, it’s disgusting, let’s not talk, we want to be very, very straight up.
This is not the first time that Trump has expressed his revulsion at a woman’s biological functions. Back in August, you may recall, Trump attacked Fox News host Megyn Kelly after she asked him about some of the misogynistic things he’s said in the past about women.
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes,” Trump declared in a CNN interview afterwards. “Blood coming out of her wherever.”
By “her wherever,” Trump was apparently referring to Kelly’s you-know-what.
As last night’s “schlong” comment reminded us, Trump also likes to talk about penises, though he somehow always manages to do so in a way that is much more demeaning to women than it is to men,
A case in point is the lovely remark he made to attorney Gloria Allred, who had criticized him for staying mum after Miss Universe Canada officials tossed (and later reinstated) a trans woman from the contest. (At the time, Trump owned a huge stake in the Miss Universe contest.) Allred observed that no one had demanded to know what was in his pants.
Trump told her anyway:
I think Gloria would be very, very impressed with [my penis]. I really do. I think she’d have a whole brand new image of Donald Trump… There’ll be no apology whatsoever.
Let’s take a brief stroll down memory lane, shall we, and look at some other appalling things The Donald has said about women.
Let’s start this list by returning to Hillary Clinton, because of course Trump’s “schlong” comment isn’t the only appalling thing he’s ever said about her. Here’s one infamous Tweet he posted and later deleted, either because he thought better of it or because his lawyers did.
As it turns out, Trump has many charming thoughts about powerful women. Here he is offering his highly sophisticated take on Arianna Huffington:
.@ariannahuff is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man- he made a good decision.

How much money is the extremely unattractive (both inside and out) Arianna Huffington paying her poor ex-hubby for the use of his name?

Trump routinely responds to criticism from women journalists with schoolyard insults — sometimes delivered right to their door. New York Times columnist Gail Collins says he once responded to a less than flattering column she made about him by sending her
a copy of the column with my picture circled and “The Face of a Dog!” written over it.
He followed this up, years later, with this lovely Tweet:
Frumpy and very dumb Gail Collins, an editorial writer at The New York Times, is so lucky to even have a job. Check her out – incompetent!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 15, 2014
But he doesn’t only have it in for female journalists and politicians; he reacts to criticism from pretty much any famous woman by attacking their looks, among other things.
While @BetteMidler is an extremely unattractive woman, I refuse to say that because I always insist on being politically correct.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2012
.@BetteMidler talks about my hair but I'm not allowed to talk about her ugly face or body — so I won't. Is this a double standard?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 28, 2012
And then of course there is Rosie O’Donnell, one of Trump’s favorite targets over the years.
Sorry, @Rosie is a mentally sick woman, a bully, a dummy and, above all, a loser. Other than that she is just wonderful!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 9, 2014
Trump has been lobbing crude insults like this at O’Donnell for years. In an Entertainment Tonight interview from nearly a decade ago, he declared that
Rosie O’Donnell is disgusting, both inside and out. If you take a look at her, she’s a slob. How does she even get on television? If I were running The View, I’d fire Rosie. I’d look her right in that fat, ugly face of hers and say, ‘Rosie, you’re fired.'”
“We’re all a little chubby but Rosie’s just worse than most of us. But it’s not the chubbiness — Rosie is a very unattractive person, both inside and out. …
Rosie’s a person who’s very lucky to have her girlfriend. And she better be careful or I’ll send one of my friends over to pick up her girlfriend, why would she stay with Rosie if she had another choice?
Trump’s a little obsessed with that “ugly both inside and out” line, huh? Presumably he uses it so that he can’t be accused of attacking only a woman’s looks.
Of course, not everything Trump has said about women has been insulting. Sometimes it’s just creepy as hell.
During one appearance on The View, he had this highly icky thing to say about his daughter Ivanka.
She does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.
Did I mention that she’s HIS DAUGHTER?
And then there were these perhaps inadvertantly revealing remarks he made about Paris Hilton on the Howard Stern Show back in 2003.
I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12. Her parents are friends of mine, and, you know, the first time I saw her, she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ … Well, at 12, I wasn’t interested. I’ve never been into that. They’re sort of always stuck around that 25 category.
Dude, if the first thought you have every time a female human being walks into the room is “is she old enough to have sex with,” you need help.
Let’s make sure this guy doesn’t become our president, huh?
“…Please tell me this guy doesn’t have an actual chance of becoming the next president of USA (or any country, tbh).”
They are a lot of Trump look-alike in other countries. France is one of the country dangerously close to have a president similar to Trump, to take an example I know well.
In fact, there is even two of them who have a chance to be our next president. But the less extremist of the two served one time as President before ; and while it was Bush-level of bad, his bark was worse than his bite.
(for reference, the one that already was president one time managed to say “Black people did not manage to enter history”, and a lot of nasty things about immigrants, but he did only take cosmetic measures against them).
If Trump go as President, I do hope reality will rein him as just being another Bush. Because that’s the less bad outcome I can imagine out of that.
He doesn’t talk about Bette Midler…by talking about her incessantly. Remind you of anyone?
Also, finally, somebody fixed those woman-hating urinals.
@Ohlmann
You win the Internet for Saddest Remark of the Year.
When Obama won in 2008, shouts of extreme joy went up in public in many cities. I heard them and that was how I knew that Obama had won.
And when he was inaugurated, you could have heard a pin drop in Washington, DC. I heard on the news that no crimes were committed during the ceremony.
Most unfortunately, Obama has pursued war and surveillance of US citizens–and has even ordered assassinations of a few US citizens. He’s done some good things, too. There’s the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act. But in way too many ways, he’s been another Bush.
Let’s dream big: No more Bushes!
@LindsayIrene
I love the crossed-out letters. How is this done?
@ Kat
what you want slashedwith the spaces removed.[Edit–my spaces got auto-removed! Hold on…]
Did anyone check if the guy is actually old enough to run for president?
Most boys develop a more mature attitude about women’s bodily functions when they are 10, I think. Maybe trump is just a really, really creepy and ugly 9-year-old and nobody noticed?
@ Kat
This is how it’s done:

(Would have just deleted first, useless reply but I ran out of time.)
Just wanted to add that I don’t mean to compare children in general to someone as hateful and bigoted as trump, of course. There are very few people in the world who deserve that comparison.
@LindsayIrene
Use < and > instead of actual angle brackets and you don’t need to use spaces which often get ignored anyway. < will be replaced with < and > with > (I’m using a trick to get around that replacement.)
So, <s>Stuff you want a line through.</s> →
Stuff you want a line through.@ Kat
Huh? When?
Donald, you’re fired..
From a canon, into the sun.
Possible good news in US politics!
Support for abortion rights has risen. Even among Republicans.
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2a3d931d52894dff9c12342f6b9baf9d/support-legal-abortion-highest-level-2-years
It hope it’s not just a temporary bump due to the PP shooting. I hope it’s that people are finally getting that abortion rights are important and the forced birther movement has gone too far. If it is due to the PP shooting, I hope it’s permanent. I hope people are realizing the anti-choice movement isn’t about babies. It’s about violence against women.
Trump has a real chance of winning the Republican nomination.
However, only 25% – 30% of Republicans actually support him, and approximately 0% of Democrats support him. The only reason he is where he is in the polls is because the Republican party has no likable serious candidate, and has 4 or 5 (depending on how you count them) unlikable serious candidates who are, together, splitting up the majority of Republicans who don’t like Trump or the other jokes in the Republican primary race.
What this means is that if he wins the Republican nomination, and the GOP carries through on their promise to support the winning candidate, there is no real obstacle to Hillary Clinton winning the Presidency … except for Clinton herself, of course.
And here is some crap that sounds like it should be from AVfM, but is actually from Fox.
It’s genuinely difficult to tell who would be likely to cause the most damage; this intolerant blowhard, or Ted Cruz.
Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
brb, gonna wash my eyeballs.
“Schlong” isn’t even a verb. Wouldn’t the correct Yiddish term be “”shtupped”?
Trump is so incredibly immature, both socially and sexually. Last summer he also told a reporter who took a break to express breast milk that she was “disgusting”. Apart from the crude, piggish misogyny, it doesn’t look very Presidential to be snickering over poopies and tampons.
Silvio Berlusconi comes to mind.
dhag85 – re: the donald’s micropeen. good idea but if it became news he’d just whip it and a ruler out on prime time tv. and his poll numbers would probably go up.
and you’re right about him not being able to finish a sentence – how does he ever close a business deal?
nparker – drone fired hellfire missiles at al Qaeda types in Yemen – al Awlaki (sp?), then his son a few days later, couple other guys.
i guess i better send Sanders some $
Bernie Sanders. Corrected that for ya.
I thought that too. The amount of Yiddish I know could fill a thimble but at least the few words I know I can actually use correctly.
For instance, Donald “Because I don’t want to, Greta” Trump is a putz.
Don’t forget Jim Gilmore is still in the race!
Yah, Bernie Sanders has no real chance of winning the Democratic nomination. I like him a lot, and he’s very good at keeping Clinton from drifting too far to the right (though that only works during the run-up to the election) which she would otherwise do because that’s her way. I’m very happy he’s in the race. I’m really glad he’s energizing the left, so that Clinton doesn’t do that Clinton thing of taking the left base totally for granted and forgetting that they even have ideas and desires and things.
He won’t win the nomination, though, no matter how awesome that would be.
