Good Article with links, good for future reference:

Donald Trump is a bigot.
This is not exactly a secret. He rose to political prominence by claiming the first black president wasn't really American but Kenyan. He launched his presidential campaign by calling Mexican immigrants to the US "rapists," and doubled down when criticized. His most famous proposal is a total moratorium on Muslim entry to the United States.
But a report from the New York Times's Michael Barbaro and Megan Twohey has shone a light on a less examined side of Trump's bigotry: his long, persistent hatred and mistreatment of women. Former New Republic editor Franklin Foer has described misogyny as Trump's "one core belief." He's not wrong.
The accusations in the Times's exposé some denied by Trump, some not are damning:

after she found out HE was carrying on a gay lifestyle behind her back.
Going on memory here. It's been a long time ago and not worth my time to research it on Google.
