Donald Trump makes vow to women against advice of campaign

Donald Trump told a crowd in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that he will protect women “whether they like it or not.”

Speaking on Wednesday, 30 October — with less than a week to go until the election — the former president admitted that his campaign had told him not to say that, saying that they called it inappropriate.

Changing back to himself, he added: “Why? I’m president, I want to protect the women of our country.”
