Kind of like a certain type of southerner 25-40 years ago who was fine with the blacks that he or she personally knew. Distrusted the others, because, after all, they were black. But ol' Harry -- he's a good guy. I knew someone who had raised his daughters so that two of them said they'd "never work for a n*****r", but he had a black co-worker living in his house because his wife had kicked him out. He wasnt unique in the Houston area; just the one I knew really well.

Trump very possibly has two classes of women; those who are "just like everyone else" and therefore appointable etc, and "babes" (or whatever other semi-pejorative objectifying term you think is appropriate.

Until someone questions their own assumptions on a periodic basis they're prejudices. Particularly when it's about people. Each person deserves to be treated as an individual, because each person is in many ways an exception to the rules that have been set up around them based on the opinions of others.

That goes for Trump, but since he now has a shit-ton of power, it also means he needs to do so. And his statements on women don't say much positive. His actions on some individual ones do. Neither of those says everything about him.

They're OK just so long as they're in the $Billionares club:

Betsy DeVos, a Michigan billionaire who was named as Trump’s education secretary, is the daughter-in-law of Richard DeVos, the co-founder of Amway. Her family has a net worth of $5.1 billion, according to Forbes. Elaine Chao, the choice for transportation secretary, is the daughter of a shipping magnate.

Well, not exactly. The founder of Amway made his money the "American Way" - Founded on PT Barnum's motto:

Amway is one of the original "big" MLM setups. Borderline scam, more or less a pyramid scheme. The only ones making real money are the ones who got in early and are near the top.

Hi Joe,

Quote

more or less a pyramid scheme

Back in the 70's I attended an Amway presentation.

IMO it is not 'more or less,' it is a pyramid scheme.

I could not believe that some of the folks attending were actually considering getting into it.

Complete & total insanity.

Barnum was right,

She has no business being anywhere near an educational institution. She has zero competency in how public education works, how it's managed and regulated, and her only goal is to dismantle public education and use it to "expand God's kingdom", whatever the hell that means other than being unconstitutional.

Which makes her the perfect SecEd for a party that loves "the poorly educated" voter.

Nikki Haley was a vocal opponent of Trump. The GOP likes her as a future POTUS candidate. Get her a good gig and out of his possum hair.
