At a recent campaign event, Donald Trump openly wondered, “I don’t know what is going on with the women here.”

When it comes to the needs and wants of female voters, the best Donald Trump can do is shrug. At a campaign rally in North Carolina on Monday, the most openly misogynist presidential candidate in modern history explained the yawning gender gap among his supporters by saying, “I don’t know what is going on with the women here.”

A poll the Pew Research Center conducted in mid-June found Hillary Clinton leading Trump by 24 points among women and Trump leading Clinton by 6 points among men. Not to worry, Trump says—men are half the battle! “Fifty percent of our country is men, where I am doing very, very well, record-setting numbers, folks,” he said. As for the slightly larger proportion of the country that is not men? “The women, I don’t know what is going on with the women here. But I think, I think I’m doing well with the women.”

“Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know,” he qualified, summing up the gist of his presidential campaign.

This may point to a simple misunderstanding of statistics. “Everywhere we go, we have massive crowds like this, and so many women signs all over the place. Women for Trump,” he said on Monday. Women signs! If women didn’t support Donald Trump, why would they hold women signs? Trump has seen with his own eyes women holding women signs, and they far outnumber the men holding men signs.
