"In the end, Trump, McDougal, and Daniels are three Republicans who are happy to build, inhabit, and impose upon all of us a heartless world, untroubled by the one consistently compelling notion that the GOP used to offer: that the American institution most worthy of respect was the family, the home, the shelter of one another. To the three of them, a wife—even one who had recently delivered a new baby—was not deserving of any special consideration or protection, or even of decency in its broadest possible definition. But McDougal is the odd one out, clinging as she does to her cloying simulacrum of 'wholesomeness,' trying to will herself into a world in which Donald Trump would build her a golden cage, treat her kindly, and call her 'Beautiful Karen' for all the rest of her days. He's not a playboy or, really, much of a husband."
Caitlin Flanagan at The Atlantic calls Donald Trump America's "First Porn President."
