Donald Trump may believe that "women are disgusted" by Hillary Clinton's use of the "woman card," but the $2.4 million the Clinton campaign raised in recent days suggests otherwise. The New York Times reports that three days after Trump accused Clinton of playing the "woman card" — and said that if she were a man, she wouldn't get 5 percent of the vote — Clinton had her "best fund-raising haul yet" with emails, tweets, and merchandise capitalizing on Trump's statement.

After sweeping Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Rhode Island on Tuesday, Trump said in his victory speech, "If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing Clinton's got going for her is the woman's card." The Clinton campaign recognized this preposterous comment as the political gift that it was and responded by embracing the "woman card" by issuing a physical, neon pink woman card and T-shirts with slogans like, "Deal me in" and stats like, "Only 5 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are women."

According to the Times, Clinton's fundraising effort in response to Trump's comments "brought in 127,000 donations from 118,000 donors, 40 percent of whom had never given to the campaign before."

Clinton also criticized the Republican front-runner on CNN on Sunday. "I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak," Clinton said, saying she would not respond to "bullying."

On Monday night, Trump stuck to his script, telling Fox's Sean Hannity, that "she's playing the 'women's card,' like I've never seen anybody play it. I think even women are disgusted by it." Echoing his comments from last week, he said, "There's no question about it. If she were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote."

He also took issue with Clinton's "off the reservation" comments as both insulting to Native Americans and as "a very derogatory statement to men" — a deliciously rich sentiment coming from a man who routinely dismisses concerns over his own use of derogatory anti-immigrant and anti-woman language as attacks from the PC police. (Pertaining to the use of "off the reservation," the Clinton campaign addressed the criticism raised by Native Americans and acknowledged via Twitter that the expression "has some very offensive roots" and that Clinton "meant no disrespect to Native Americans.")

But Trump's main problem with Clinton's statement was with how it addressed men. "It was almost as though she's going to tell us what to do, tell men what to do," Trump said. "If I would have made that statement, or if somebody else would have made that statement, it would have been a big headline."
