Cops and soldiers, carpenters and welders!

In his dim-witted tirade today, Donald Trump was very specific about what kinds of people he claims are supporting him who were being insulted by Hillary's comment about a "basket of deplorables," and it looks like in his world - those are men.

Yes, most of the planet has grown enough to know that women are cops, soldiers, carpenters and welders. But in TrumpLand, I assure you, those are men. And the only ones that are any good, are the white ones.

So we have here yet another screaming dog-whistle of sexism. The castrating bitch who dares to criticize men. The femminazi who wants to sever your manhood by demanding you treat women and minorities as equals. Equals!

Look at any Trump rally as of late. It's almost exclusively white men. That is what they are insulted by. A woman who dared to criticize white men.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to need a bigger basket.
