Forget Samantha Bee - Donald Trump Has Called Women 'C*nt' for 30 Years
https://www.thedailybeast.com/forget-samantha-beedonald-trump-has-called-women-cnt-for-30-yearsForget Samantha Bee—Donald Trump Has Called Women ‘C*nt’ for 30 Years

Trump himself has been accused of leveling the same language at three women over the span of more than three decades, most recently in author Michael Wolff’s blockbuster book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. In Fire and Fury, Trump is reported to have used the oath in reference to former acting attorney general Sally Yates, whom Trump fired after she reached the conclusion that an executive order banning people from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States was unconstitutional.
Wolff notes that while the president was facing off against the entire Justice Department, “to Trump, he was just up against Sally Yates, who was, he steamed, ‘such a cunt.’”
Not all accusations that Trump used the word “cunt” to describe a woman stemmed from questions of constitutional law. In one instance, Trump is alleged to have used the word because he didn’t like the headline of a journalist’s article.
After reporter Jennifer Lin, then a financial correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer, wrote a story about Trump’s attempts to underbid shareholders for increased control of an Atlantic City casino project in 1988, Lin received a call from a Trump Organization secretary asking her to “hold for Mr. Trump.”
