When it comes to women, the USA’s ‘grab them by the p**sy’ president doesn’t have a very good reputation. From calling a woman ‘ugly pig’ to stating that he would ‘date’ his daughter if she weren’t his daughter, he has given the Internet a lot of creeps.
But a recent incident did bring back some of those cringeworthy memories.
President Trump recently visited France to tour a famous Paris Landmark. There, he met France’s President and the First Lady. Although, right after meeting her, his first words created a lot of stir on social media.
This is what he said.

“You are in such a good physical shape. Beautiful.”
Here’s a video of the same if you want to ‘watch it to believe it’.

President Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump met French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron after their tour of the museums at Les Invalides.
Brigitte Macron, who used to be President Macron’s high school teacher, is 25 years senior to him. Their relationship did attract some attention because of their significant age difference. Although, Trump and Melania share the same age difference the other way.
But, there ain’t no age difference stopping President Trump from speaking his mind.
The Internet clearly didn’t take it very well. People thought that Trump’s remark was not only inappropriate and indecent but incredibly sexist and demeaning.

A play I wrote called,”Me As France’s First Lady”
Trump: Wow, you’re in such great shape
Me, French First Lady: Wow, you’re not
And scene

Way to objectify women, President Trump!
Well, the good part of me can just hope that this habit stops at some given point of time. The USA deserves a President who can look at a woman beyond her curves and ‘physical features’.
