Recently, the American public was disgusted and horrified by the despicable lewd and vulgar remarks about women which were made by Donald Trump.
The remarks were uttered during appearances on Access Hollywood and the Howard Stern Radio show. They were discovered by the Washington Post and CNN.
In the video clips and tapes, Trump indicated his desire to sleep with a married woman and his rights to make sexual advances to women given to him by his stardom status.
The remarks proved beyond any doubt his immaturity and his disrespect for women. They came from a man who should be an exemplary model for others, especially youngsters, to follow. They are issued by an individual who is seeking to occupy the highest office in one of the most powerful nations.
There are no logical explanations to justify Trump’s disgusting behavior. His unacceptable conduct led most of the prominent members of the Republican Party to withdraw their support of his candidacy. Several withdraw their endorsements and few explicitly expressed their views that he should drop out of the race and be replaced by Mike Pence.
Nevertheless, during the second presidential debate, he defiantly rejected their suggestion of him dropping out of the race and minimized the significance of the withdrawal of endorsements by important members of his party.
Furthermore, he tried to deflect the issue by focusing on the infidelity of Bill Clinton.
Some may suggest that the incident is an American matter that concerns the citizens of the USA. However, his boorish behavior toward women is demeaning to women everywhere.
Despite the outrage that followed the disclosure of the remarks, Trump issued a faint apology in which he attempted to justify his ludicrous and disgusting remarks by stating that they were spoken in locker room banter during private conversations long time ago.
He, also, attempted to redirect the wrath of anger toward Bill Clinton, the husband of his opponent by stating that Bill Clinton issued worse remarks during their golf games.
All leaders of our world, especially that of the USA, have moral responsibility to condemn the remarks and assure their female citizens that those remarks are issued by a man who has showed on several occasions that he lacks the maturity to appreciate and respect members of the gentle gender.
They should use their influence, with their native citizens who reside in the USA and have the right to vote, to insure that such a boorish and crude man will never hold a public office including the presidency of the USA.
Moreover, the USA should issue a sincere apology to women everywhere for being insulted by one of its citizens.
Women organizations worldwide must issue statements to express their horrific reactions to the remarks.
Citizens worldwide ought to boycott his television programs as a minimum punishment for his disrespect for women and treating them as sexual objects.
The media venues worldwide must condemn the remarks in order to instill assurances within their readers that such conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated regardless of the status or the nationality of the individual who commits such a conduct and behave in an undignified manner.
Finally, on behalf of the male gender or to be precise those who hold the ultimate respect for women worldwide, I apologize for having them being subjected to such despicable remarks.
As for Mr. Trump, he should acquire some humility and maturity to issue a sincere apology to women everywhere. In addition, he needs to alter his attitude toward members of the gentle gender before running for the presidency of the USA.
