Trump Defies Advisers, Insists on Being 'Protector' of Women

 

Former President Donald Trump revealed that his advisers had cautioned him against describing himself as a "protector" of women, a phrase he used in late September and reiterated at a recent rally in Wisconsin. Despite their advice, Trump doubled down on his stance, stating, "I'm going to do it whether the women like it or not. I'm going to protect them from migrants coming in.

The former president's insistence on this rhetoric comes as he struggles to gain traction among female voters, a demographic that has historically been challenging for him.

As the election approaches, Trump's campaign continues to navigate the delicate balance of appealing to his base while attempting to broaden his support among key voter groups.
