[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Donald Trump, the U.S. president who caused controversy over 'misogyny' during the 2016 presidential election, has once again become the center of controversy in this election.

According to Bloomberg News on the 26th (local time), President Trump unleashed harsh words targeting Nancy Pelosi (Democrat), the third in the U.S. power hierarchy and Speaker of the House, at a rally held in Allentown, Pennsylvania, calling her "crazy like a bedbug."

President Trump said, "Because that woman is crazy, I guarantee there is a high chance we will take back the House."

President Trump also continued hateful remarks toward Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate and senator.

He said, "Did you see her laughing on television last night? That woman just laughed at terrible questions about herself, and that was what was funny."

Last month, Savannah Guthrie, a famous NBC anchor who relentlessly asked sharp questions to President Trump at a town hall event, also became a target.

President Trump said, "She was so furious she almost jumped out of her chair while asking questions," adding, "I told her to calm down and not express hatred."

Lesley Stahl, the female anchor of CBS's popular current affairs program '60 Minutes,' was also attacked.

President Trump disparaged the program as "Crazy 60 Minutes," criticizing it as "really malicious to me."

He cut short an interview with Stahl conducted at the White House and later released the recorded footage before CBS aired the interview.

Analysts say that for President Trump, who needs to win the female vote in the upcoming November presidential election, such remarks are becoming an obstacle.

According to the election prediction site 'FiveThirtyEight,' President Trump is trailing former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate, by 6 percentage points among white women.

This phenomenon contrasts with the fact that in the 2016 presidential election, President Trump received 9 percentage points higher support among white women than then-Democratic candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

However, President Trump confidently stated that he would capture the female vote again in suburban areas around cities mainly inhabited by highly educated white people in this election.

This time, he has promised to block low-income housing from being built in the suburbs as part of his appeal.

President Trump said, "Do you want a nice urban plan next to your house? I don't like that because such plans bring a lot of crime."
