  1. As per [original article](https://www.rawstory.com/trump-women-2668831860/) 📰:

    – There’s a distinct lack of women in former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — and it’s already led him to make significantly worse campaign decisions in 2024 than he did in 2016, wrote Nell Scovell in an analysis for The Daily Beast.

    And nothing drives this home more, she argued, than his decision to pick brash far-right populist Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his running mate — a choice that, according to some reports, he is already regretting.

    A similar thing happened in 2016, Scovell noted. At the time, Trump’s choices were between then-Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), then-Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN), and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA).

    Trump reportedly wanted Christie, but his daughter Ivanka talked him out of it, enraged that the potential choice had prosecuted her husband Jared Kushner’s father in the past.

    Trump’s wife Melania, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway, and communications strategist Hope Hicks steered him away from Gingrich, marred by a history of adultery, toward Pence, who Scovell wrote proved to be a solid choice — even if Trump would later fall out with him over refusing to help him block certification of the 2020 election.

    This time around, Scovell wrote, Trump’s finalists were Vance, Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Tim Scott (R-SC), and Gov. Doug Burgum. Trump reportedly wanted Burgum, a safe, boring, Pence-style pick. But his son Donald Trump Jr., a close friend of Vance, browbeat him into changing his mind.

    And with many of the women in his first campaign gone, and Ivanka and Melania distancing themselves, there were no women in Trump’s inner circle to tell him how big of a thud that choice would land with women voters, Scovell wrote.

    “Trump let men steer his decision that will influence the vote of millions of women,” wrote Scovell. “A dose of estrogen might have landed on a different candidate. Would Ivanka have rolled her eyes at Vance’s extremism? … Would Melania and Conway have pushed back on Vance’s desire to do away with ‘no-fault divorce’? Would Hicks have agreed with Vance’s position that wives should stay in abusive marriages?”

    Now, Trump is locked into his decision, wrote Scovell. “While the latest polls show Trump still has a slim lead over Harris, a greater shift may occur when future polls include whomever the Democrats pick for the VP slot. And unlike the GOP, a woman will definitely be part of making that decision.”

  2. He didn’t ask the prostitutes and strippers he usually hangs out with? Shocking.

  3. Them there damn women are supposed to be barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen cooking dinner. They certainly shouldn’t be up here in the mens club of politics!

  4. I’ll give it another week. JD will be back having a side fling with a davenport, and Nimrata will be singing Clownstick’s praises at Tier 2 rallies.

  5. Lack of women?  Even if there were women around, any women with sensibilities even bordering on normal are nowhere close to Maga world.

  6. What a ridiculous statement – the maga women would have to be just as misogynist or they would not have a place in the cult leadership.

  7. Polling research has shown VPs have almost no ability to help you win an election. However they have tremendous ability to lose you an election. The blander your VP selection the better. 

  8. He has made it clear to America that he doesn’t respect women or their opinions.

  9. Why they paint it as a miscalculation? It is exactly what they think is the right thing to do. Does any of these mfers genuinely believe that Trump has asked for advice to Melania even Once?

  10. Doesn’t matter. Vote Blue and keep him out of office.

    Nobody should relax about his bad decisions until then.

  11. After blowing this, Don Jr is on the road to being treated like Tiffany…..

  12. Lol what “disaster”? “Lack of women” with any say is a feature, not a bug, in magaverse.

  13. You mean the folks that want women in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant aren’t thinking about women?

    I’m shocked.

  14. JD says no abortions ladies.
    Don’t forget this at voting time. He will take all of your rights away and have women in the US wearing Christian Hijabs.

  15. Can you imagine what kind of woman would assist Trump? A woman that likes helping a sexual predator. A woman that doesn’t believe she has control of her own body or that other women should control their own bodies. A woman who is okeydokey separating children from their mothers.

    Trump has treated women badly his entire life. Look at his current contracted wife. She can’t stand to be in the same city with him.

    trump has shown us who he is
