In a series of recent statements, Donald Trump asserted that women will no longer be concerned about abortion if he is re-elected, portraying himself as their 'protector.' Critics, including former aides and political leaders, have condemned his remarks as paternalistic and deranged, highlighting the disconnect between his claims and the current realities faced by women. Trump's rhetoric, which many have interpreted as infantilizing, appears to be an effort to appeal to female voters amid GOP struggles with outreach. Gretchen Whitmer and others have labeled his comments as alarming and indicative of a broader trend of gaslighting towards women. While Trump insists that he will ensure their happiness and freedom, many social commentators view his messages as unsettling and reminiscent of abusive dynamics.
