'Whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them,' Trump says during rally
Following his press conference in a garbage truck, former President Donald Trump held a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin – still opting to sport his new orange safety vest.
He stuck to his stump speech heavily focused on immigration and the economy, he also made an appeal to women repeating he will be their "protector."
Trump suggested that his campaign advised him to not say he’ll protect women, but he disagreed.
“We think it's very inappropriate for you to say,” Trump said his campaign told him.
"I said, 'Why, I'm president. I want to protect the women of our country.' They said, 'Sir, I just think it's inappropriate for you to say,'" Trump explained.
"Well, I'm going to do it. Whether the women like it or not, I'm going to protect them," Trump told the crowd. "I'm going to protect them from migrants coming in. I'm going to protect them from foreign countries that want to hit it, hit us with missiles and lots of other things."
"I'm going to defend and I'm going to protect women. I'm not going to let people go up to the suburbs or go into places where they live, whether it's suburbs or cities or farms. We're going to protect our women, at the border, we're going to protect our women, and also we're going to protect our men and our children. We're going to protect everybody."
Trump then asked the crowd: “Is there any woman in this giant stadium who would like not to be protected? Is there any woman in this stadium that wants to be protected by the president?”
The moment was met with a large applause.
