Fiona Hill: Trump ‘Doesn’t Like the Idea of Strong Women’

‘He doesn’t like to be criticized and I think he sees the gender of women as weak’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

HILL: "Well, look, I have to say, it was just really dismissed by him. And I think this is a personal problem that he actually has. And we have seen the way he’s lashed out against all of the people, particularly the women who've come out and criticized him, the people who were very close to him and obviously know him even better and much better than I do. And he’s lashed out against them as well. He doesn’t like to be criticized, and I think he sees the gender of women as weak. So, again it's all about being a strong man in opposition to women, he doesn’t like the idea of strong women. It was very interesting watching his interactions with Chancellor Angela Merkel, probably one of the most powerful political leaders, she's just about to leave the political scene, she’s had this huge impact on Germany, but on the European and global affairs, and she couldn’t be more different. She’s an understated woman, with incredible confidence and power. She’s a strong woman. But she’s the antithesis of the posturing macho strongman persona that Trump saw that he needed to project."
