Trump Tells Women at Rally: ‘I Am Your Protector’

Former President 👤Donald Trump focused his attention to women voters at a rally by saying, “I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector.”

The Republican presidential candidate said those words Monday at a rally in Indiana, 🔔Pennsylvania.

“I make this statement to the great women of our country. Sadly, women are poorer than they were four years ago, are less healthy than they were four years ago, are less safe on the streets than they were four years ago, are paying much higher prices for groceries and everything else than they were four years ago,” Trump said to the crowd.

“I will fix all of that, and fast, and at long last this nation, and national nightmare, will end. It will end,” the Republican presidential candidate said. 

He added: “Because I am your protector. I want to be your protector. As president, I have to be your protector. I hope you don’t make too much of it. I hope the fake news doesn’t go, ‘Oh he wants to be their protector.’ Well, I am. As president, I have to be your protector.”

Trump has been trailing Vice President Kamala Harris with women voters in polls. Harris has focused on reproductive rights in her campaign and has blamed Trump for the end of Roe v. Wade.

According to a New York Times/Siena College poll, Harris leads Trump 53% to 42% with women. The opposite holds among men with Trump on top 56% to 39%.
