Speaking at a Christian museum, Donald Trump falsely claimed that his deployment of National Guard troops to Washington D.C. eliminated crime, downplaying domestic violence statistics. He argued that incidents of domestic violence shouldn't be classified as crimes, suggesting a shocking disregard for victims. This statement aligns with his administration's actions: cutting federal grants to domestic violence non-profits, freezing funding for organizations serving marginalized communities, and even attempting to force these charities to hand over abused women to ICE. Trump's views echo historical misogynistic legal interpretations, where women had no rights in the private sphere. This is consistent with Trump's past behavior, including accusations of sexual misconduct and his own words, such as boasting about grabbing women "by the pussy." The article draws a parallel between Trump's views on domestic violence and his actions as president, suggesting a pattern of dominance and disregard for the well-being of others. The author argues that Trump's belief in his own unchecked power mirrors the outdated view of a husband's absolute authority over his wife.
