Donald Trump: The Dumbest Things He's Said About WomenBy Piper Weiss, Shine Staff | Work + Money

The following women are not attractive to Donald Trump: Angelina Jolie ("She's been with so many guys"), Cher ("bad plastic surgery"), Rosie O'Donnell ("big, fat pig"), and now, Arianna Huffington.


On Wednesday, Trump used his Twitter account to call the internet
powerhouse "unattractive both inside and out." He went on to attack her
marriage, which ended in an amicable divorce.



"I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man-he made a good decision," Trump added in less than 140 characters.



It's not the first time he's publicly judged a successful female media
figure by her looks and intimate life, and it probably won't be the
last.



Trump's world seems to be divided into three categories. Women he finds
attractive. Women he doesn't find attractive. And Men. It's not so
different from a Miss USA pageant, only "contestants" like Huffington don't ask to be entered.

It's unclear what exactly prompted Trump's alarmingly inappropriate personal attack. His rep told the Washington Post it stems from her largely op-ed driven publication's "massive and consistently inaccurate reporting on Mr. Trump."



Huffington smartly refused to take the bait and refrained from
responding, possibly avoiding another drawn out Trump vs. Barbara
Walters feud.



In the past, both male and female columnists at major media outlets have labeled Trump "a sexist dinosaur," with "a legacy of unapologetically gleeful misogyny."
These days nobody's wasting words trying to prove that point, when
Trump seems to do the job all on his own. Here are some of the gems from
the mouth of a modern day caveman:



"All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me - consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."

-From his book How to Get Rich.



"So when he had plenty of money, she liked him…But then after that, not as good, right?"

-In response to an Access Hollywood interview question on Anne Hathaway's split from her jailed ex-boyfriend.



"I'll send one of my friends to pick up her girlfriend and I think it would be very easy."

-On Rosie O'Donnell and his own mysteriously beguiling friends, as reported by The New York Daily News.


"She does have a very nice figure . . . if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

-On his daughter, Ivanka, during a interview on the The View.

"You look very good, Aubrey, I have to say, Do you mind if I say? Is that sexist?"

-On Aubrey O'Day's boardroom appearance during an episode of The Apprentice.



"Maybe [women] don't know him. Maybe they don't get what is going on."

-On Obama's popularity with women voters, in a recent Fox News interview.



"The early victories by women on The Apprentice were to a very large extent dependent on their sex appeal."

-On women's success on The Apprentice, from How to Get Rich.



"I believe we're all equal except women still have to try harder and
they know it. They will do what they have to do to get the job done and
will not necessarily be demure about it."


-More on women's success, from How to Get Rich.



"Oftentimes when I was sleeping with one of the top women in the world I
would say to myself, thinking about me as a boy from Queens, 'can you
believe what I am getting?'"

-On former romantic partners, from Think Big: Make it Happen in Business and Life.


"Beauty and elegance, whether in a woman, a building, or a work of art is not just superficial or something pretty to see."
-On inanimate objects and women, from Trump 101: The Way to Success


"You know, it doesn't really matter what [the media] write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of [expletive]."

-On media zen and women's body parts, from a 1991 Esquire interview.

    Trump just says that about those women because they would never date him for any reason. He can't attract them with his money because they already have their own money.

    Trump is an idiot who says a lot of awful things about a great many people. Some of them are women, others are men. So if he's a misogynist, he's also a misandrist.

    Perhaps we can embrace the spirit of gender equality and settle for misanthrope? :)

    Possibly. I do think he treats women with less respect and more disdain than men. Regardless, he's an incredibly arrogant ass. Thanks for commenting!

    A misogynist is defined as a woman hater. He's a bit sexist but he hasn't said anything misogynistic.

    Well I happen to think much of what he said shows he hates women, and if you read the article, so have others. And other than the fact sexism can be against either women or men, there's not much difference between the two.

    I did in fact read the whole article you posted.

    "She does have a very nice figure . . . if [she] weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her."

    How does that indicate he hates women?

    "You look very good, Aubrey, I have to say, Do you mind if I say? Is that sexist?"

    And how does ^ that indicate that he hates women?

    Trump's comments are so ignorant,arrogant and stupid. . . it's almost like he's parodying himself. Unfortunately he's actually serious.

    Is this someone the Republican party wants speaking on their behalf? Guess so.

    It is unbelievable that republicans support these rich guys who only want to be richer.
    They have the opportunity to support an American who actually lived the American dream and became president.
