Sexist Trump won't give up: Wonders how France's First Lady is 'in such good physical shape'
If there is one statement that that needs nothing to substantiate it, it is that Donald Trump — the 45th President of the United States of America — is a male chauvinist. Yes. The man is the most sexist "commander-in-chief" the country has ever seen. And the icing on that cake is he is a proven international embarrassment.
Trump latest gaffe, while nowhere close to grabbing women "by the pussy” is still a moment soaked in disgust. He told Brigitte Trogneux, the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, that she was in “such good shape”. And he didn’t stop there. He repeated the comment to Emmanuel Macron before turning back to Trogneux to remark, "Beautiful."

Brigitte Trogneux is 64 while her husband, the president is 39. Their age gap, which has been a subject of controversy, when compared to the age gap between 71-year-old Trump and his 47-year-old wife Melania is little different.
Several comments on social media immediately accused Trump of both ageism and sexism. As was summed up rather succinctly by a Twitter user: "Trump telling France’s First Lady ‘you’re in such good shape’ epitomises men toeing the line between compliment and sexual harassment."
Not only is Trump a sexist pig, he shouldn't be commenting on anyone's shape when he is so hideously unfit. Gross. pic.twitter.com/ACuhOWklrp

Trump's "in good shape" comments to France's 1st Lady are deplorable and his passive aggressiveness sexist behaviour dangerous and misplaced

Trump is a serial offender when it comes to making inappropriate and disrespectful remarks about women. During the US presidential election, he said that nobody would vote for his Republican rival nominee, Carly Fiorina because of her appearance.
Just about a month before that statement, Trump had told Caitriona Perry, RTE's Washington correspondent that she had a "nice smile". And of course, one can’t forget his sexist rant against erstwhile Fox news anchor Megyn Kelly.
Trump even told CNN post his interview with Kelly: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever..."
Recently, Trump also attacked MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski on Twitter, calling her “low IQ Crazy Mika” at a gathering at his Florida resort around New Year’s Eve. Mika was “bleeding badly from a facelift” according to Trump.
Surely, the US President is out to "make America great again" one sexist volley at a time. And the world knows it can do without Trump's greatness.
