'So creepy': Analyst argues Trump's pitch to women is one a 'sex pest' gives his victim

Former President Donald Trump's address to women voters sounded more like a "sex pest" gaslighting his victim than a presidential nominee courting a crucial voting bloc, a political analyst argued Tuesday.

New York Magazine's Jonathan Chait on Tuesday lambasted the speech Trump delivered in Pennsylvania Monday night and the assurance he gave women voters that he would be their "protector."

"What makes it so creepy is that he implicitly acknowledges that women are reluctant to support him," Chait wrote, adding, "he presumes women are crazy."

The Trump comment that caused Chait's jaw to drop was what he describes a "very weird" pitch the Republican nominee gave women on why they should vote for him in the upcoming presidential election.

"You will no longer be abandoned, lonely, or scared," Trump said. "You will no longer have anxiety from all of the problems our country has today. You will be protected, and I will be your protector. Women will be happy, healthy, confident, and free. You will no longer be thinking about abortion."

Chait argued Trump's promise was predicated on his belief that women would be happier thinking and feeling less, and don't know enough to understand his ability to provide that contented state of being.

Trump also paralleled Sen. J.D. Vance's rhetoric condemning childless Americans when he asserted women are more "abandoned" and "lonely" than they were four years ago, the New York Magazine columnist argued.

"Their actual problem, he insists, is loneliness and abandonment, which will be resolved by giving themselves over to Trump," Chait wrote.

Despite what Chait describes as an implicit invitation to join Trump's "harem," he argues women voters should not expect bacchanals and orgies at the White House as the offer was likely metaphorical, if authoritarian.

"That is not an argument you’d make to free citizens," Chait wrote.

Instead, Chait argued, it's the argument an abuser would make to a victim he'd like to continue to dominate.

"You may think you don’t want to be with Trump," Chait wrote in his summary of the message. "But you are wrong, and you are crazy, and if you return to Trump, you’ll realize he was right, and you will leave the worrying to him."

The column concludes, "Why do I get the feeling Trump has made a version of this spiel in his personal life?"
