In short, he's a primitive. I guess, there never was any doubt about that. And he's doing everything according to the rulebook of rightwing extremist 101. Incite fear, incite hatred, let women know their place. Obviously that's still a bestselling recipe. Not only in America, but all over the world.
There are right wingers in every religion, including Buddhism and Hinduism. There is no polite way to say it. There certainly are liberals in every religion that value girls/women's rights, but that doesn't change that you can find sexism everywhere in the world.
That is why it is extremely important to empower more women globally. Of course they should be qualified to be in any power, but they should not be excluded based on gender.
I hate how evolution is in reality. I do except it as fact, but the dark side of it is that men in general mistake testosterone and force as being right and use religion to justify it. I think the world would be much more peaceful without testosterone, but since that wont happen, we can at least challenge our species that thinking and diplomacy and equality for women will go a long way in reducing human divisions.
