The female forces aligned against Trump involve more than Pelosi, who on Thursday officially became the most powerful female politician in the country (again). “He’s going to have powerful, competent women coming at him in all directions,” said Jennifer Lawless, a politics professor at the University of Virginia. “If he wants to avoid daily reminders of the ‘Access Hollywood’ tape, then he can’t deal with these powerful female adversaries the same way he’s accustomed to dealing with powerful male adversaries,” Lawless said. Of course, Trump has had to face off with powerful women before, but typically these were one-offs. Indeed, one of the only high-ranking women in the Trump administration calls the President “dad.”And Pelosi won’t be cowed by his insults.
