A roundup of editorials Tuesday warns President Donald Trump that his attitude toward women will be the thing that takes him down.

Opinions from the left:

A Reckoning With Women Awaits Trump

From The New Yorker: Trump’s bag of tricks will be useless when women decide they have had enough of him and his lack of empathy and decency.

President Trump Will Not Diminish My Truth

From Jennie Willoughby: Rob Porter’s ex-wife wants you to know that just because she was dismissed by the president doesn’t mean the truth isn’t the truth.

Some on the right fear the coming midterm elections; others aren't losing sleep.
