If Donald Trump didn’t happen to be President of the United States, perhaps he could’ve tried his hand at advertising copywriting. In 1952.
A project by Syrian artist Saint Hoax, “Make America Misogynistic Again” handpicks some of Trump’s most memorably misogynistic statements about women and emblazons them on sexist old-school advertisements.
As you can see, they blend together astonishingly well.

“I decided to match the visuals with sexist Trump quotes and show them to my friends without actually telling them where I got the quotes from,” he tells The Huffington Post.
“I told them that these were the actual advertisements that were published in the 1950s and ‘60s and they believed it. When I revealed the truth, they were in complete shock….”
The way women are represented in the media has shifted drastically since these advertisements were initially published.
Sadly, Donald Trump is trying to take America back to the ‘Mad Men’ era. I’m hoping that these posters would make people realize that Trump’s ‘locker room talk’ is extremely dangerous.”

I defy any reasonable person to try and defend those awful Trump quotes. Not much shocks me these days, but reading those quotes does shock me for their crudity, barbarity and obvious dislike of women. We are told to respect ‘the office’ and not the man, but for me they are indivisible. The Office of President should be occupied by an honourable person who inspires respect even if you did not vote for him/her. The current holder of the title inspires racism, sexism, homophobia, social division and international derision. His words and deeds are shocking and unacceptable – even if he did not hold his current position his words would still be unacceptable.
