Donald Trump Calls Hillary Clinton a 'Nasty Woman,' Nasty Women Everywhere Unite
Donald Trump, who has repeatedly insisted that no one respects women more than him, called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman” during the third and final debate on Wednesday night — sparking a fiery outcry on Twitter and even a “Nasty Woman” shirt that benefits Planned Parenthood.
“My Social Security contribution will go up, as will Donald’s — assuming he can’t find a way to get out of it,” the Democratic presidential nominee said in reference to the businessman’s tax avoidance in answer to a question on entitlement reform. Trump then leaned in close to his microphone and said, “Such a nasty woman.”
The Internet swiftly reacted, with many women co-opting “nasty woman” from something derogatory into a saying with a more positive connotation. “Nasty Woman” and #NastyWomenUnite were both trending on Twitter post-debate.
Trump is going to be super sad! to discover that the #nastywoman hashtag is suddenly filled with a million, fired-up feminists #debate

I know I said goodnight, but the amount of deplorables popping up to defend the #NastyWoman insult makes me weep for our nation. #Misogny

Sophia Amoruso, the founder of popular retailer Nasty Gal, proposed a collaboration with Clinton, one that would apparently see the politician dying her blonde hair hot pink and switching out her pants suits for leather and chains.

Yet while the Nasty Gal partnership is just a dream, Google Ghost, a designer who makes “fun, pop culture-driven apparel,” has already made Nasty Woman T-shirts a reality. Before midnight on Wednesday, the site had already put up for sale a white tee with a pink heart with the words “Nasty Woman” in bold letters in the middle. The shirt is selling for $25 and 50 percent of all proceeds benefit Planned Parenthood, a women’s health organization that Trump has said he’s in favor of defunding.
