Women Behaving Badly


  One thing Donald Trump has done better than any other person in the last two years is to make women look bad. Awful in fact. He is surrounded by what I would have, under different circumstances, considered intelligent professional women. Instead, they have ruined both their personal and professional reputations beyond repair. Some better hold on to their jobs for as long as possible because it won't be easy to find another.

  Look at Kelly Ann Conway. She is....well indescribable. One lie after another. Defending her boss by attacking other women's credibility. Claiming the sexual assault allegations by over a dozen women are fake and based on jealousy and greed. A disgrace to her gender is where I would begin to describe her. She is the Queen of double standards and the Pope of double talk. I don't know how she can look at herself in the mirror every day. It's disgraceful.

  Sarah Sanders is worse than Mrs.Conway. And that's saying a lot. Her greatest talent is lying with a straight face and calling people out who dare to say she is doing just that. It looks great on a resume I suppose. My biggest problem with her is the arrogance and disdain she displays for the press. As the "press secretary" these are her people. Her purpose. Her reason for employment. Yet she treats them like dirt beneath her shoes which she looks down her nose to even acknowledge. I hope she saved some of her salary cause it's not going to be easy to get another job.

  Betsy DeVos, who is in charge of the education system, is an embarrassment to all women. Listening to her talk about public schools being in good order when none of her kids ever saw the inside of one is painful. And her speeches about student debt not being debilitating comes off as comical when you consider she graduated not owing a dime thanks to her rich parents. She is okay with teachers having guns in classrooms. Can you imagine that? In some of those public schools she talks about? Please go back to your private schools. I'm sure you will get the reception you seem to feel you deserve.

  And the worst of the entire bunch is Ivanka Trump herself. She sells shoes and dabbles in real estate in the family business and that qualifies her to sit in on a G20 meeting? Like her father, she has no political experience and no foreign policy expertise and little ability to speak to those who do. She comes across as vain, ignorant and self-absorbed. Not to mention ill-informed. Mrs. Kushner is out of her depth and shows it. Advising the President? On what? She of all people could have told him he needs a tailor and a back brace to stand up straight. She didn't even get that right! 

  I've on purpose left FLOTUS out of this. Her I'm still not sure about. She is either very self-aware and says/does things to make her own private digs to her orange husband. Or she is totally oblivious to the hypocrisy of her family. When I figure that out you'll be the first to know.
