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.

........OK?
A lot of men talk like that.....
Not a major issue, lol
Even the guy I was married to used
to joke that I'd be the one changing
all the diapers.
Until I had them of course.
Reality kicks in & men do handle it

I find Trump to be adorable

A real man, a real father, changes diapers, hold the baby when sick, and feeds with a bottle at 3a so Mommy can sleep.

I don't give a flip what Trump thinks, but I do hope he lives to a ripe old incontinent age.

Yep..Most men of Trump's generation was/ obviously still are of such a notion. But this mindset tells you..Trump is till stuck in the pre-60's...because HE will never change that notion.. I would love to get his children's opinion ( especially his sons)..given their "Silver Spoon" upbringing..doubt whether his son's ever considered "Changing diapers" LOL

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??

Isn't this part of the modern male female dynamic anyway though?...women don't need men and can do it all and nobody bats an eye when women replace the traditional provider role of fathers with government assistance, so I'm not sure why we're suppose to be outraged that some men feel they aren't needed to change diapers either, especially if it's an arrangement that him and his wife have made and are content with...it's all part of the progress we've made, I say. Besides I remember a thread on here not too long ago, where a majority of women also said they wouldn't want a man who didn't do handy work either, so I dont see what the hub bub is when men have preference for the role that their wife plays in the relationship as well.

I know "men" today who still think they should never have to change a diaper. YOUNG "men", at that!
If they ever had to be a "house husband", as I was, the trauma would be too much for their tender little feelings!
trump saying something like "REAL men don't change diapers!" is SO non-news worthy!

C'mon, men, be honest! How many of you think a "REAL man" would never do dishes, run the vacuum, change the sheets, change diapers, wash clothes (and fold them/put them away) etc...
You know, the traditional "women's work".
My bet is that there are a lot of you, but you will never admit it!
