Trump has weighed in the scandal engulfing movie mogul and Democratic funder Harvey Weinstein, accused by multiple women of sexual harassment. “I’ve know Harvey Weinstein a long time. I’m not at all surprised to see it,” Trump said.
Trump was then asked by CNN’s Elizabeth’s Landers how Weinstein’s conduct differed from the conduct Trump bragged about on the “Access Hollywood” tape where he said “when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.” Trump responded that the tape was just “locker-room talk.” But at least 15 women have publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment and assault, and People Magazine Natasha Stoynoff has six independent witnesses to back up her allegation that Trump “pushed her against a wall, shoved his tongue in her mouth, and told her they were going to have an affair.”
The Trump administration’s Education Department has moved to make it harder for women at universities to prove sexual harassment. Trump’s Health and Human Services Department has made it harder for women to get contraceptives. Trump has nominated 32 men and just one woman to become U.S. Attorneys. Trump’s 2018 budget calls for a 93 percent cut in funding for federal programs that aid survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Trump and Weinstein are both sexual harassers. But Trump is also president of the United States. That makes him even more dangerous to women. Your thoughts?

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
