The Bulwark

Trump’s latest appeal to women is the essence of paternalism.

“The great question that has never been answered and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?’”

Sigmund Freud didn’t know the answer to this question back in 1913. It remains a mystery to many in 2024.

But what we do know now is that American women don’t want Donald Trump. In the latest NBC News poll, American men supported Trump by 52 percent to 40 percent. American women were for Kamala Harris by 58 percent to 37 percent.
