Last week I was watching the Fox News show as I ate lunch. There were four women and one man discussing how Nancy Pelosi treated Trump in the meeting they had about withdrawing troops from Syria.

One of the women said that it was Pelosi’s fault that the meeting ended and nothing got accomplished. The Fox lady said that Pelosi knew what Trump was like; she knew how he reacts, and yet she provoked him.

As someone who has been a therapist for a few decades, and has worked with relationships that have involved domestic violence, this was shocking to me. In Trump-land, it is the victim’s fault. The woman should know what lines shouldn’t be crossed. She should know her place and be completely intimidated, lest the MAN get upset.

Is this how Trump women live? Even today? Is this what they want for their daughters?
