Yes, there are women who are overweight, but so are men. The fact that Trump calls them out rather than men is what sexism is all about. This is not a gender problem, but an American problem
Yes, blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime, but Trump exaggerates statistics to stir up racial angst. It ignores how crime has fallen over the last two decades with the exception of this past year. It ignores how most crime is centered in small segments of urban and rural centers where most whites aren't impacted. Most people think most black males have a criminal history when they don't. He allows stereotypes to fester and distort the overall picture.
As for the military, we can stay stuck in our traditional ways or adapt.
