Strange isn't that he is a misogynist, when those who prohibit women from driving are not.
In an episode of the excellent Band of Brothers TV series there was a scene where an officer failed to salute to a superior officer because they had fallen out when they were both the same rank. The superior officer told his junior that `You salute the uniform, not the man' which elicited a salute, albeit begrudgingly from the junior officer.

This is the same situation with Trump. You may not like the man but he is the President of the USA and the office of POTUS should be respected.

Would not only upset Trump and his supporters,
I reckon even the anti-Trump brigade in the USA would see it as an insult.
Like it or not, he is the president.

Trump should consider himself lucky that due to the bad weather in Southern Spain recently salad vegetables are now in limited numbers and being rationed by the supermarkets, otherwise he might be wiping tomatoes from his face and suit.
