Nothing shocking here. It comes as no surprise to me that Trump didn't change diapers. Many men of his generation didn't. I wouldn't feel too bad for his wives. They have/had money for help and probably had help for cleaning, cooking, nannies, etc.. They also have/had duties that many of us women don't have such as always looking beautiful and representing the Trump brand in lavishing ways. It's their choice to live like that. I don't envy them nor do do I feel sorry for them. They knew what they were getting into with him.
Sarahez,
I think the point is his children grew up without a Dad. His style is damaging to his kids' psyches.
And there is another experiment on the way. I agree with you about the wives of rich men like Trump.
Trump is a Boomer. Lots of Boomer fathers were "hands on" caregivers to their children, including all of my brothers.
And including me, a first-wave boomer. I never really understood what parental love was until I changed my kids' diapers and soothed their infant anguish. What a rush. I tear up right now thinking about it, and remembering.
I don't give a flip what Trump thinks, but I do hope he lives to a ripe old incontinent age.
Good one ohhwanderlust A sperminator but with a large pocket book.
My husband is a few years younger than Trump and was an active parent who not only changed
diapers but was equally as supportive, loving and nurturing as a mother.
Although the original post recording his comments, "that he loves all his children and that his
kids are great," most of the credit probably should go to their mothers.
He doesn't know what he has missed and frankly he obviously doesn't care.
I wonder who will be changing his diapers at some point? Oh wait, he has people to do that.
The Donald should seek some treatment for his diarrhea of the mouth.
This is one of the few things he has said that I feel is legitimately sexist. 95% of what the media or the left portrays that he says is sexist is actually not what the definition of sexism is.
Trump, the guy who saw an opportunity to garner the heart and minds of America's meatheads, a man who would never associate with the types of people who support his bloviating grandstanding. Yes, there is a vast number of men who secretly yearn for those "good ol' days" when men were men, and women did everything else. I'm of that generation that thought this way, I missed out on being a "active" father, because doing so was looked down upon by my fellow men at that time. I'm happy to see so many young men today being out with their children, a huge shift in societal norms..
That's an excellent point. He gives voice to their anger. But does he CARE about their anger? No, he's just using it for his own rewards. He is part of their problem but they don't see it because they refuse to look beyond the most superficial. He made a fortune participating in the "reality" TV con and now he's conning them for an even bigger prize than money.

And are not messed up at all. Funny.
At least he provided for his children, unlike the millions of men who abandon their women to raise their children alone. That's damage for you.

That was a low blow to go after his kids - there is nothing wrong with his kids!
My father didn't change my diapers either. He was at work and my mom stayed home and actually raised us, unlike what a lot of these "career moms" are doing today.
If he was working, and his wife was a stay-at-home mom, then who is anyone to judge that? Both of them are handling their business.
I don't agree with the whole "nanny raised" kids thing anyway.
My old neighbors had "nanny raised" kids and they were the biggest brats on the planet.
There's nothing wrong with the "traditional" family where the one parent works and the other handles the family/home matters. Both are hard work and nobody is knocking the stay-at-home parent. It's something to be admired.
It doesn't matter if it's the man or the woman doing the work. It's best when one parent stays home.

Wait, hold up: you ACTUALLY believe that Trump and his wife (and TWO ex-wives, because he's a real old-fashioned guy) live a traditional breadwinner-homemaker life? Seriously?
You seriously believe that Milania is a regular stay-at-home wife who gets their son up and ready for school, drives through school drop-off in the mini van or walks him to the school bus, then returns home and cleans house until it's time to pick up the kid and the get the roast in the oven for dinner at 6?
Please tell me you honestly don't believe that.
Signed,
a former stay-at-home wife who worked her butt off
