This is why Trump hates independent women

Narcissistic Men Despise Independent Women


narcissistic men love the chase and the seduction of women. If they are
married they often have numerous affairs, even hidden children in the
shadows. With each conquest they move on to the next. They never tire;
they are hungry for more females they can conquer. If they are powerful
in the world and good looking and completely charming, they succeed on a
superficial level. They are voracious in their need to seduce.

Narcissistic men despise women who are independently minded—those they cannot fool
and know instantly who they really are. Some women are so astute that
after a few flirtatious rounds they have picked up the scent of the
narcissist and turn their heads away. The narcissist cannot have them,
cannot bargain with them, cannot possess them. They are contained and
control their own lives—they are psychologically independent women.
Narcissistic men hate what they cannot own and control and abuse.

I don't think they are attracted to me - I am too independent and never fed their narcissistic need - but I have know a lot of raging narcissists who seem to take an instant dislike to me because I never bought into their "specialness". Looking back, this really explains a lot.

maybe that is because I had very strong grandmothers, mother, and aunts. My wife was strong and independent (single mother) when I married her, and continues to be. We have both tried to instill into our granddaughters the importance of education and ability to take care of themselves, and our grandsons to respect that.

to work for him. But he is using their hard work - and need to overachieve - to his own benefit. It's not exactly exploitation but its not like he runs an equal opportunity workforce. I think he is very threatened by successful men - who may actually be the real deal in terms of leadership and talent. That is why he despises Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

Women like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Obama are incomprehensible to him. All he can do is abuse them with insults and hope they cave under the pressure.

In terms of romantic attachments, Trump only wants women he can buy. Men like this consistently go after gold diggers, and then they complain that all women are gold diggers. But when all you have to offer is cash, that's what you get. So he buys women and when he tires of them he trades them in for a younger model.
