The Republican candidate explained in a rally this week that he would protect women “whether they like it or not.” But neither this outing, nor Donald Trump's past, shocks the women met by franceinfo in Wisconsin.

One controversy chases the other : five days before the American presidential election, Donald Trump is now strongly attacked by his Democratic adversaries, for having presented himself as “protector” ofare women, “whether they like it or not”, Wednesday October 30, during a meeting in Green Bay in Wisconsin, a pivotal state in the north of the country.

His Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, accused him the next day of not respecting “freedom and intelligence” women.

She admits not to be “safe to see where this is going” Donald Trump, when he said “whether they like it or not”. She explains that “it's not his personality that [l]'interested”, and that she“wouldn’t go to dinner with him”while considering that “he’s a good president.”

Judy, a 70-year-old retiree, also believes that Donald Trump “isn’t perfect.” “But at least he doesn’t want to kill our children,” said this opponent of the right to abortion, adding that“he got better as he got older.”

“He respects women”, et “With him it’s authentic, he’s outspoken,” believes Nicole, 46 years old, teacher, who is “100% safe” to vote for Trump. This supporter brushes aside the civil conviction of her candidate for sexual assault in 2023. “Everyone has a corpse in the closet”she retorts.
