Donald Trump had to disavow his longtime butler for saying Obama should be 'shot' VOX

Last Thursday, Senecal's Facebook rants caught up with him, after David Corn at Mother Jones shared the jaw-dropping range of rabid posts about President Obama, including calling for his assassination.
The Secret Service confirmed on Thursday that they would be investigating investigate Senecal. “The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation,” spokesman Robert Hoback emailed The Daily Beast.

It's been said many times that Donald Trump represents disgruntled white, American men with a decidedly anti-women perspective. Bernie Sanders appeals to the same constituency in some cases.
The New York Times digs into the man who wants to be president and his stated, even flaunted, sexual prowess with women.
