“When Trump was thirteen his father sent him off to an all-male military academy. His classmates there said because there were no girls there, the only way they could learn about girls and women and relationships with the opposite sex was through Playboy magazine, that was kind of their bible and their guidebook… [Trump] seems to never have changed his view of women from that Playboy view that he developed at thirteen.”

“[With Medicare-for-all] the US corporations will be more competitive with Western Europe, Japan and Canada, because none of these corporations have to pay for health insurance, and that’s a big deal. When General Motors doesn’t have to pay for health insurance, which costs them more than what they’re paying for steel and manufacturing their cars, they’re going to be more competitive.”
