Michelle Goldberg: The Trump administration, useful friend to misogynists and abusers

On Thursday the influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, until recently stuck in Romania amid an investigation into allegations including human trafficking and money laundering, arrived in Florida, apparently thanks to the good offices of Donald Trump's administration.

The article by Michelle Goldberg, published on MSN, discusses how the Trump administration has been perceived as supportive of misogynists and abusers. It highlights several instances where Trump's policies and actions have seemingly favored individuals accused of sexual misconduct or domestic abuse. Key points include Trump's own history of allegations, his administration's rollback of protections for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, and his appointments of individuals with controversial backgrounds concerning women's rights. The piece also mentions the administration's efforts to weaken Title IX regulations, which are intended to protect against sexual harassment and assault in educational settings. Goldberg argues that these actions not only reflect Trump's personal attitudes but also signal to abusers that their behavior might face less scrutiny or consequence under his leadership.
