This opinion piece is very seriously flawed.  Brooks desperately attempts to convince us of what Trump thinks through second-hand "evidence."  If Mr. Brooks or any other journalist wanted to know what Trump thinks about women, they should simply ask him and report on Trump's response.  In a sense, this opinion piece where a journalist tells us what to think based on his own conclusions rather than direct evidence, is why Trump is successful.  Some of us are desperately tired of the media telling us what to think and being too lazy to get direct input from whoever they are accusing of malfeasance.   If you want to know what a person thinks or feels, ask them rather than indirectly interpreting events to prove a self created perspective.
