Here's the 100% thing. H/T Kelly

Trump On Employing Mothers: “She’s Not Giving One Hundred Percent, She’s Giving Me Eighty-Four Percent, And Sixteen Percent Is Going Towards Taking Care Of Children. So Maybe You Can Also Understand The Employer’s Point Of View.”BRZEZINKI: “So are we at the point where women employees who are mothers aren’t as valuable, because we have kids and we balance other things? Or does having children actually increase our value?” TRUMP: “I think the most important thing is the children, and frankly [caring for them means taking] time away, and an employer could say she’s not giving one hundred percent, she’s giving me eighty-four percent, and sixteen percent is going towards taking care of children. So maybe you can also understand the employer’s point of view.” [Mika Brzezinski, Knowing Your Value: Women, Money, And Getting What You’re Worth, p. 161, 2011]

I assume the 100% thing is referring to the last two bullets.

TRUMP WOULD DEPEND ON “THE MARKETPLACE” FOR EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN

Trump Said “The Marketplace” Would Make Sure Women Were Ensured Equal Pay. BRZEZINSKI: “I just wanted to know how you would make sure that's happening, because I understand equal work for equal pay." TRUMP: “Well, you know, the marketplace is going to make sure of it, because I see it more and more. Women are being hired. And in fact, in many cases are being hired for more money than men based on their competence. And that’s what I say. I mean, very I said it very clearly. If they do the job, I have women that make more than men executives. I have numerous women, many men -- many men are unhappy because women in a similar position are making more than they are. And they work for me. They come to me and complain about it.” [Morning Joe, MSNBC, 10/14/15; Real Clear Politics, 10/14/15<http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/10/14/trump_many_women_are_making_more_than_men_for_the_same_position_at_my_company_pay_based_on_competence.html>]

TRUMP THOUGHT PREGNANCY WAS INCONVENIENT FOR EMPLOYERS

Trump: Pregnancy Is “Certainly An Inconvenience For A Business.” TRUMP: “Well, you know, pregnancy is never--it's a wonderful thing for the woman, it's a wonderful thing for thehusband, it's certainly an inconvenience for a business. And whether peoplewant to say that or not, the fact is it is an inconvenience for a person that is running a business.” [Dateline, NBC News, 10/3/04]

TRUMP SAID WOMEN WERE DISADVANTAGED IN THE WORKPLACE BECAUSE OF “SEXUAL UNDERTONES” AND “FAMILY OBLIGATIONS”

Donald Trump: “I Think Women Have A Tough Situation In The Workplace Because Of The Sexual Undertones. The Business Environment Is So Cutthroat That Men And Women Learn To Use Whatever They Can To Get Ahead, Including Their Sexuality.” “Early in the first season of The Apprentice, I warned the female contestants that they were relying too heavily on their sex appeal to win the tasks. I think women have a tough situation in the workplace because of the sexual undertones. The business environment is so cutthroat that men and women learn to use whatever they can to get ahead, including their sexuality. Yet, whenwomen do this, the perception of them changes. That's why women have to work harder to overcome obstacles.” [Trump Blog, 10/3/05; Wayback Machine, accessed 2/25/16<https://web.archive.org/web/20060507011841/http:/donaldtrump.trumpuniversity.com/default.asp?item=103779>]

Donald Trump: “I Expect My Employees To Work Long Hours And To Be Available Whenever I Need Them. Sometimes These Expectations Are More Difficult For Women To Meet Than Men Because They Often Have More Family Obligations Than Men Do.” “I expect my employees to work long hours and to be available whenever I need them. Sometimes these expectations are more difficult for women to meet than men because they often have more family obligations than men do. I think sometimes this is where the obstacles come into play. It's not that the opportunities aren't there. It's just that the priorities can be different. Men are often more willing to put their jobs before their families--and I don'tthink that's a good thing. Women usually will put their families first, or at least give them equal time. The families win, but often that's why women perceive a glass ceiling looming overhead.” [Trump Blog, 10/3/05; Wayback Machine, accessed 2/25/16<https://web.archive.org/web/20060507011841/http:/donaldtrump.trumpuniversity.com/default.asp?item=103779>]

Do you have sources for this in your talking points?

Trump thinks ensuring equal pay for women should just be left up to “the marketplace” and once suggested family leave policies should actually be scaled back and noted pregnancy was “an inconvenience for a business.” Trump complained that when he employed mothers, they were not giving him “100 percent.”
