Chris Hayes was filling in on MSNBC daytime to day and he interviewed a bunch of reporters who are working on the gender beat about Trump. There was lots of good stuff, but anecdote from Jay Newton Small floored everyone on the panel:
Trump always says that he has been a champion of women in the private sector, and when you talk to women who are close to him and I remember talking to one who said she likes Donald Trump, she supports Donald trump but he also kept a picture of her in his desk from when she had her thrid child and she was pretty overweight having just given birth to her third kid and every time he thought she was doing her job or perhaps getting a little too big for her britches he would take out what he called "the fat picture" to remind her that she wasn't perfect. That's a woman that supports him and thinks he was a good boss ...
You should have seen the look on Chris Hayes' face ...
This isn't exactly it, but it expresses the emotion:
The Donald doesn't like it when his female employees get "too big for their britches." They're there to serve him:
When Donald Trump and his Apprentice sidekick Carolyn Kepcher spoke the week before Labor Day, there were no TV cameras, no boardroom and no contestants nervously awaiting his withering "You're fired!" But the end result was the same: This time Kepcher was out as COO and general manager of the Trump National Golf Clubs in Westchester, N.Y., and Bedminster, N.J. ..
During the past year, according to sources, Trump was none too pleased at how his employee of 11 years handled her Apprentice success. She wrote a book, set up speaking engagements and even lobbied for one of the vacant spots on The View. "She was building her own personal brand," says a Trump source, while another calls her "a prima donna."
Speaking of which I thought this bit on Jimmy Kimmel was pretty funny --- and frighteningly true.
He even mansplained the term "mansplaining."
"That's when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing way?" Clinton said when Kimmel asked if she'd heard of the term.
"Actually it's when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way," Kimmel replied.
Then Kimmel had Clinton start giving her usual stump speech so he could critique her. She only got a sentence in before Kimmel stopped her.
"You're shouting, you're too loud," Kimmel said. "It comes off as a little shrill."
Clinton continued more quietly.
"You know what, you have to speak up, because we can't hear you," Kimmel said.
Then he suggested that she smile. But when she did: "Don't smile like that, it's too forced; it looks like you're faking it."
"You know, Jimmy, your comments are kind of contradictory," Clinton said after some more of this. "It's like nothing I do is right."
"Exactly, you're not doing it right," Kimmel said. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but something is not — you're not—"
