Former POTUS Trump is a product of his upbringing. There are millions of Americans who grew up with fathers who treated their mother with disdain or worse. The duties of a mother were to sexually satisfy, raise offspring, clean, cook and do everything the father found beneath doing, "woman's work." Trump occupies a "don't worry your pretty little head" male/female paradigm. That view of the role of women in society remains "traditional" to Trump supporters, but repressive, stifling and disrespectful to what is emerging as the gender enlightened generation.
I was raised by a Trump-like father, raised in a "traditional" home. Luckily he married a woman with a 140+ IQ who worked him to her will, often without him realizing it. When he finally realized the asset he was sleeping with, he encouraged (as much as he was capable) and watched his spouse become CFO of the family business, school board president, starter of a women in the oilfield management organization, State Board of Education Chairman and co-chairman of Bob Dole's Texas presidential campaign.
I was raised by Grace Shore, the smartest and most emotionally disciplined (with her husband) and open (with her children) woman I have ever met. Because of who raised me, Trump looks like an idiot to me regarding his relationships with and views toward women generally.
When it comes to the role of women, there are a lot of 78 year old men who see it like Trump. We give them an extra beer at Thanksgiving so they fall asleep in the recliner in the 3rd quarter of another Cowboys' loss. We do not elect them POTUS in 2024.

From the little I've seen about her, Trump's mother seemed to be in the same uncaring mode as his father - a tyrant in her own world.
I'm 83 and have always been a Never Trumper. All my men friends are strong anti-Trumpers.
So don't assume that old white males are Trump supporters--or that they watch a lot of football.
(And I too had a great mother who went to work when I was about 8.)
Trump thought Ivana was great until she insisted on being part of his business. She was good at it, but he thought her role was to be in the home.
She basically saved his sorry ass with her business acumen and he repaid her by leaving her for a younger woman.
When Ivana died, he buried her on his golf course so he wouldn’t have to pay taxes on it.
I don’t know how his children can stand to be around him!
Is that why? I thought it was so her body couldn’t be exhumed for evidence of foul play?
I’m pretty sure all “evidence of foul play” is stored in the bathroom and not the golf course but I could be wrong.
Odds are she kept him and his businesses afloat until she got tired of him. She seemed to be successful after she got rid of him.
What a great tribute to your mom! She clearly raised a good man.
Incidentally, she sounds like a number of Texas women I know (5th generation San Antonian, now living in Philly).
