It's not difficult to figure out: a production in 2017 will seek relevance in 2017, not in 1962 or 1992.

I understand that what Trump "mutters" is minor stuff for you.  It's not minor for women.  Especially given the fact that Trump is currently the most powerful person in the world, and the fact that so many people, especially men, make excuses for him and what he says.

Of course what he says and does isn't the same thing as the sexual slavery Atwood wrote about.  Neither was the United States in 1985 when Atwood wrote it.  It was a warning then . . .  and it's a warning now.
