Donald Trump Jr.’s position on women and diapers is in keeping with the view held by his father, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. In a 2005 interview unearthed by BuzzFeed, the senior Trump told radio hosts Opie and Anthony that he doesn’t change diapers because it’s a woman’s responsibility. “There’s a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife, and you know, there’s a lot of husbands that listen to that,” he said. But not Trump.
In a later interview with Howard Stern, Trump emphasized that his wife, Melania, is responsible for all childcare: “She takes care of the baby and I pay all of the costs.”
But the most telling Donald Trump Jr. came a year after the one above:
