The sage wisdom of American Psycho Donald Trump Jr. on women who "can’t handle, like, you know"



Donald Trump Jr. offered some unsolicited career advice for women concerned about sexual harassment in the workplace: Just quit, already.

“If you can’t handle some of the basic stuff that’s become a problem in the workforce today, then you don’t belong in the workforce,” Donald Trump’s son told The Opie and Anthony Show in a 2013 interview that BuzzFeed just unearthed.

“You should go maybe teach kindergarten,” he said, apparently suggesting that teachers aren’t part of the workforce. “You can’t be negotiating billion-dollar deals if you can’t handle, like, you know.”

Gender-based harassment, both sexual and not, is against the law in the U.S. “It is illegal to harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general,” according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Wonder where he got that idea? Think paternal influence had anything to do with it?

disconnected from things. They seem to like loopholes around the laws.

And they taunt and dismiss women, Mexicans, Muslims, the disabled, and others on grounds of differences from themselves, then rationalize their bigotry.

They have a lot of money, the Trumps. But heart and mind are nowhere in evidence.
