President Donald Trump reacted to the idea of an all-female government after former President Barack Obama broached the subject.
Speaking at a Salem State University event last week, the former president revealed that he had previously “fantasized” about the idea of a government comprised entirely of women. He openly wondered what things would look like after two years of female leadership.
“I have a strong belief that things would — they wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better,” the ex-president mused.
While speaking to reporters at the White House on Saturday, Trump was asked about the comments.
Watch:
“Mr. President, Barack Obama just said if you put women in charge of every government for 2 years, things would be better. Do you buy that?” a reporter pressed.
“I love women, I think they’re great, but what a ridiculous statement that is, right?” Trump said. “Even you would say that.”
X users weighed in:
A world run entirely by women would have zero wars, but 100% of countries wouldn’t be speaking to each other.

“I love women, I think they’re great…” – trump is clearly a classical feminist.

It is a ridiculous statement made. No thought of merit being first and foremost, just the power holder. In office, he stopped at nothing to divide this great nation.

I think Obama himself was that experiment.

Barack doesn’t believe it. He’s just saying whatever won’t get him disowned by his own side.

No.. women and men are both closely capable. Adding a woman into the mix will not make everything perfect. It simply means we have female representation, but we still have issues. You gotta not be against it, but to be for it saying it’ll fix everything is crazy.

Well I would agree with Obama until women dicided that hormones is an excuse for killing people. They shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near positions of power I’d all it takes is some hormones to turn another country into a crater
