2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo was Donald just not hugged enough as a kid? WTF is his problem with women?
Ok so Trump has a shit load of issues but looking at the posts and various articles today, what stood out to me is how much women get under his skin.
He brought up an ancient feud with Rosie O'Donnell at his first presidential debate
He mentions on Fox that when Hillary got under his skin it was in reference to comments he made yrs ago about Miss Universe
His whole issue with Megyn Kelley (who is "mean" to him)
Not to mention how he treats women in general or his wives. But of all the crap to focus on from last night - big bad scary women seem to really frighten him.

(21,160 posts)A man who is not adequately loved by his mother usually grows up having problems with women. My Ex husband used to refer to his mother as " the bitch" and that is why he is my ex husband. My current husband of 27 years loves his mother and wife without a doubt

(847 posts)Not sure if it was with his mom or maybe with a girlfriend. Maybe one of them laughed at him in bed. Maybe one broke up with him and he never got over it. It's probably also why he feels the need to make every dime he can and break other people.

(58,666 posts)look to how his father treated women. If his father was a spouse/woman abuser, Trump could have learned that from him.
I suspect his father was, in general, a bully who treated his wife (Donnie's mom) like shit.

In November of 1929, a seventeen-year-old Scotswoman, Mary Anne MacLeod, boarded the S.S. Transylvania in Glasgow, bound for New York City. With a high arching brow and deep, round eyes, MacLeod hailed from Tong, a remote fishing community in the parish of Stornoway, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Although the American stock market was in a freefall, Europe, in the shadow of war, was in no better shape. Scots had been emigrating for years, trying to find better opportunities.
In New York, MacLeod would find a well-established community of countrymen and women, including two of her sisters. She took more than one transatlantic trip before settling in New York, in the thirties. On at least two ship manifests and in the 1930 census, her occupation is listed as maid or domestic.

Mary Anne MacLeod was born on May 10, 1912. Her father, Malcolm, was a fisherman on the remote Isle of Lewis, and he and his wife, Mary Smith, raised a large brood of children. Tong is still dominated by fishing and, increasingly, tourism, and many extended MacLeod relatives live in the area. None of Trumps cousins wish to speak to the press, William Foulger, the secretary of the Stornoway Historical Society, said, nor does the owner of the family home.
In the thirties, MacLeod reportedly met Frederick Christ Trump at a dance, and the two fell in love, according to a 2005 profile of the Trump family in Real Estate Weekly, although it has been disputed whether she was living in the United States at the time or just visiting. Fred Trump was a builder, having started a construction business while he was still in high school. By the late twenties, he was selling single-family houses in Queens for $3,990 each. Fred Trump and Mary MacLeod married in 1936 and settled in Jamaica, Queens, at the time a haven for Western European immigrants. By 1940, the couple lived with their two children and a Scottish maid, according to census records. The value of their home was twelve thousand and five hundred dollars, or two hundred and fourteen thousand dollars today. Fred made five thousand dollars a year, or about eighty-six thousand in 2016 dollars. As the Second World War raged in Europe, on March 10, 1942, the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn made Mary Trump a naturalized citizen.
