Trump's age is no excuse for his sexism.
It has little with his age. Much more to do with his social class.

I agree. Although it's also unlikely that any of his wives did much diaper changing. I imagine they had nannies for that.

My 65 YO father in law is well off, but not rich. He never changed a diaper. The whole family loves and respects him immensely. Each person and family is different, so value can be provided in different ways. I don't want Trump as our president, but that he doesn't like to do certain things with his kids doesn't make him a bad person.

By the way, I'm a Dad and I have changed hundreds of diapers and do dishes, but I don't expect every family to be like mine.

Women have no respect for men who change diapers and no patience for men who don't.

Trump is not a normal man, he's not even a normal rich man so I don't know why anyone cares what his view on changing diapers is. I doubt his many wives have changed diapers either.

Now I think it's weird for a normal father to say he doesn't change diapers. Aren't you ever alone with your baby? I don't understand what's so horrible about changing your own baby's diaper anyway, it's just poop. When it's your own baby it's not that bad and you get used to it. My husband has changed plenty of diapers and it doesn't bother him.

Never let it be said that Trump is afraid to raise the tough issues.

Is it because it's beneath him or is it because he believes Men shouldn't be responsible for caring for their kids? Course ..WHO KNOWS exactly what he truly believes??
,
I doubt any of his kids ,regardless of gender ,change many diapers. They have nannies and/or night nurses to do that. Changing diapers are for plebeians. LOL
