about

In the lead up to the 2016 USA election, Donald Trump gives an interview to Megyn Kelly, who raises the possibility that he may have been misogynistic. The spoken intonation is made into music by the piano.

Donald Trump, interviewed by Megyn Kelly, 6 August 2015 Presidential debate, Fox News
Also assorted historical clips (The View, 2006; ABC Primetime Live, 10 March 1994; secret recording, Access Hollywood, 2005)

lyrics

Kelly: Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don't use a politician's filter. However, that is not without its downsides, in particular when it comes to women. You've called women you don't like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. Your Twitter account…
Trump: Only Rosie O'Donnell
Kelly: No it wasn’t. For the record: it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.
Trump: Yes, I’m sure it was.
Kelly: Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as President? And how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who is likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?
Trump: I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I’ve been challenged by so many people, and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And frankly, what I say, and oftentimes it’s fun, it’s kidding, we have a good time. What I say is what I say. And honestly Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry. I’ve been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be based on the way you have treated me, but I wouldn’t do that.

I just don’t respect her as a journalist. So I have, you know, she gets out and she starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions, and you know you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her…wherever…

I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. I don’t want to sound like a chauvinist, but when I come home and dinner’s not ready I go through the roof, OK? If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her – she does have a very nice figure. Grab ‘em by the pussy. I just don’t respect her.
