It's hard to believe, but President Trump has once again found himself in the spotlight for comments that have raised eyebrows. This time, the focus is on his remarks about White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and the reaction from Jimmy Kimmel says it all. Let's dive in.
During a recent encounter aboard Air Force One, Trump engaged in a conversation with reporters, questioning whether Leavitt was performing well in her role. The situation took an unexpected turn when, after being told the decision was his, Trump shifted the focus to Leavitt's physical appearance.
"That face, and those lips," Trump remarked, seemingly captivated. "They move like a machine gun, right?"
This led to a visible reaction from Jimmy Kimmel, who, while watching the clip on Tuesday night, couldn't help but express his discomfort. "I mean, does the White House have HR?" Kimmel asked with a nervous laugh, as the audience shared a collective groan. "He’s openly musing about this woman’s lips that are ‘like a machine gun!’ I feel like if I live to be a thousand years old, I won’t ever see anything as weird as this man running a country.”
But here's where it gets controversial... This isn't an isolated incident. Trump has a history of making similar comments about women in government. During a recent summit in Egypt, he made remarks about Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. He stated, "We have a woman, a young woman, who’s, I’m not allowed to say it, because usually it’s the end of your political career if you say it. She’s a beautiful young woman, but I’ll take my chances. Where is she? There she is. You don’t mind being called beautiful, right? Because you are."
And this is the part most people miss... These types of comments aren't new for the former president. There are numerous instances where he has commented on the appearance of women, including his own daughter. This pattern raises questions about the appropriateness and implications of such remarks, particularly from a leader.
