Donald Trump despises the #MeToo movement because he says it hurts CEOs by making it easy for female employees to sue.
Axios reported, “Donald Trump despises the #MeToo movement because he says it hurts CEOs by making it easy for female employees to sue.”
The article also states the Trump’s believes Rob Porter’s ex-wives and was outraged that a guy who he called, “straight out of central casting” could have committed acts of violence against women.
Trump despising the movement is akin to a declaration of war
By telling people privately that he despises the movement, Trump is telling women that they need tolerate abuse and shut up. It is a declaration of war against those who speak out and tell their stories of abuse. Donald Trump is setting a cultural tone of defending abusers. He thought Rob Porter was guilty, but he still defended him publicly because he is trying to silence women.
Trump only thinks about what is best for big business
Trump’s statements provide insight into how he views the country. This president doesn’t care about people. He isn’t concerned with the human beings that he is supposed to be working for. Trump is only concerned with business, specifically, big business. Trump doesn’t care that CEOs can be sued due to the #MeToo movement because men still dominate the ranks of the world’s biggest corporations.
