Lots of people have bent over backwards to give President Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt. It was always clear to all except his most blinkered admirers that he is an obnoxious man, a bully and a misogynist. We all know the last time a populist leader sought to demonise a whole section of the population. For Trump, women are first and foremost ‘meat’ – as newly unearthed video footage taken at his Mar-a-Lago club in 1992 attests. The United States is certainly a more Right-wing country than Britain, and it possible for politicians to use language there that would be considered unacceptable here.
