“They want to” wear burqas, Trump insisted. “What they hell are we getting involved for?”
“In fact, it is easier,” to wear a burqa, Trump argued. “You don’t have to put on make-up,” he said, pointing to women in the audience before waving his hand across his face.
“Wouldn’t that be easier,” he asked again. “I tell ya, if I was a woman,” Trump continued, signaling a burqa cover with the wave of his hand, “I’m ready darling, let’s go,” he said, mimicking a woman forgoing make-up for a burqa.
Naturally, Salon has a problem with Trump's remark:
Donald Trump offered a mind-numbingly sexist defense of burqas..But actually, I like the remark. It shows a libertarian streak, of live and let live, but at the same time with humor he shows that he personally is not a big fan.
