Trump faces backlash for comments on protecting women without consent
Donald Trump is facing backlash after claiming he will "protect" women "whether they like it or not." Critics say this echoes his controversial comments from the 2016 "Access Hollywood" tape and highlights his misunderstanding of consent. Trump, who has been convicted of multiple felonies and is awaiting further trials, made these remarks during a rally in Wisconsin. His comments have drawn comparisons to past statements about women and have reignited discussions about his history of sexual misconduct allegations. Responses from various commentators emphasize the troubling nature of Trump's statements. Many argue that his approach to "protection" disregards women's autonomy and reflects a pattern of behavior that has raised serious concerns about his views on consent.
