Trump Claims Women Are ‘Depressed, Unhealthy and Unhappy’ Without Him, Says He Will ‘FIX ALL OF THAT’ Quickly
Former President Donald Trump declared in a late Friday screed that women are sicker, poorer and more depressed than they were in 2020, and vowed that once he’s re-elected they won’t even be “thinking about abortion” they’ll be so “happy.”
The rant, posted in all-caps style to his Truth Social app just before midnight, proclaimed that women are “poorer” “less healthy,” “less safe on the streets,” “more depressed” and “less optimistic and confident in the future” than they were when he was in the White House.
The MAGA leader then vowed to “fix all of that” — “fast” — and said American women will finally get a reprieve “at long last” from their “national nightmare.”
“WOMEN ARE POORER THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS HEALTHY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE LESS SAFE ON THE STREETS THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, ARE MORE DEPRESSED AND UNHAPPY THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, AND ARE LESS OPTIMISTIC AND CONFIDENT IN THE FUTURE THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO! I WILL FIX ALL OF THAT, AND FAST, AND AT LONG LAST THIS NATIONAL NIGHTMARE WILL BE OVER,” the former president wrote.
He added: “WOMEN WILL BE HAPPY, HEALTHY, CONFIDENT AND FREE! YOU WILL NO LONGER BE THINKING ABOUT ABORTION, BECAUSE IT IS NOW WHERE IT ALWAYS HAD TO BE, WITH THE STATES, AND A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE – AND WITH POWERFUL EXCEPTIONS, LIKE THOSE THAT RONALD REAGAN INSISTED ON, FOR RAPE, INCEST, AND THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER – BUT NOT ALLOWING FOR DEMOCRAT DEMANDED LATE TERM ABORTION IN THE 7TH, 8TH, OR 9TH MONTH, OR EVEN EXECUTION OF A BABY AFTER BIRTH. I WILL PROTECT WOMEN AT A LEVEL NEVER SEEN BEFORE. THEY WILL FINALLY BE HEALTHY, HOPEFUL, SAFE, AND SECURE. THEIR LIVES WILL BE HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL, AND GREAT AGAIN!”
Trump’s post comes as he faces relentless attacks from his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, who has made it a point to showcase her support for abortion rights.
“It is immoral,” said Harris of abortion bans implemented after Roe v. Wade was overturned. “Let us agree one does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree the government should not be telling her what to do.”
On Friday, Harris ratcheted up her attacks at a campaign event in Atlanta, holding Trump responsible for the pregnancy-related deaths of two Georgia women, who couldn’t access care due to severe restrictions that took effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
“Now we know that at least two women — and those are only the stories we know here in the state of Georgia — died because of a Trump abortion ban,” Harris said. “The reality is, for every story we hear of the suffering under Trump abortion bans, there are so many of the stories we’re not hearing, but where suffering is happening every day in our country.”
