Trump Pleads With Women: 'Please Like Me.' Women Fire Back: 'No Way.'

LOADINGERROR LOADING

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday begged for suburban women’s support during a campaign event in Pennsylvania.

“Suburban women, would you please like me? Please. Please,” he said. “I saved your damn neighbourhood, OK?”

Polls show Trump’s numbers plunging in the suburbs, especially among women. That’s prompted him to repeatedly claim he “saved” the suburbs by scrapping rules that made it easier to build low-income housing. Critics call the comments a racist dog whistle ― a not-so-subtle vow to keep people of colour out of the suburbs.

Women ― suburban and otherwise ― were quick to fire back at Trump on Twitter:

Issa no for me, playa. https://t.co/3jF7g51fMK

maybe "suburban women" don't like him because their kids are out of food, out of school, and increasingly off of health insurance? https://t.co/YywxCZs50u

the kids in cages thing probably didn't help either https://t.co/XG2lo4SBly

Trump still doesn't know who lives in the suburbs. He thinks it's still June Cleaver white and all wealthy. Read a census, dude. https://t.co/MH1QWL8x6A

I did a focus group tonight with women who voted for Trump in 2016. Not a single one was planning to vote for him again. https://t.co/hbgQA4OuXX
