Comb-over cannot cover up how Donald Trump thrives with his misogyny

Donal Trump has set the bar so low that even remarks like ‘legitimate rape’ seem less outrageous now, writes Alison O’Connor

LOOKING back on it, there was something very apt about the small group of females that assembled on the tarmac to greet one of our favourite billionaire’s Donald Trump at Shannon Airport last year.

It was his official arrival on Irish soil to have a look at his Doonbeg hotel and golf resort in Co Clare. On the morning he emerged from his private jet — presumably befitting his status as an international colossus — a red carpet was rolled out and three lovely cailíní dressed all in red stood there; one playing a harp, the other a fiddle, and the third singing. Watching the video, it looked utterly bizarre. They shivered in the early morning chill, but they were clearly professionals and they did the job they were engaged to do. Donald seemed most gracious. But then again he does prefer women in the entertainment role.
