Try catching up."by Morgan SlossBuzzFeed StaffFacebookPinterestLinkHot Topic🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics Once again, Donald Trump is under fire for his "gross" comments about women. Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images In the past week, he said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's lips "move like a machine gun..." Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images ...and he repeatedly called Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni "beautiful" during a speech at an Egypt peace summit, despite his complaint that calling women beautiful these days is usually "the end of your political career..." Pool / Getty Images ...and now, he's at it again - this time with a female reporter. Here's the clip:Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, "I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling." pic.twitter.com/IHLTAiOe4F- Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 14, 2025 Twitter: @atrupar BuzzFeed TrendingHot TopicLet's chat about all things PoliticsSee our Politics Discussions In the video, we can't see the reporter speaking, but we can hear her ask: "As China deepens its presence in Latin America, what role do you see for the US?" @atrupar / x.com Instead of answering the question, Trump turned to JD Vance and gestured toward the woman, saying, "I just like to watch her talk." The president and vice president laughed loudly together. @atrupar / x.com "Good job. Good job. Thank you, darling." @atrupar / x.com In the remaining 12 seconds of the clip, the camera zoomed out and panned to the wall. Trump did not answer the reporter's question. @atrupar / x.com Naturally, people had a lot to say about this online: Editor's Note: While we can't endorse what X has become, we can bring you the worthwhile moments that still exist there, curated and free of the surrounding chaos. One person wrote, "No idea why every member of that press corp doesn't all just leave en masse when he comes out with patronising, misogynistic shit like this." "this is gross," another said. "This is not just dismissive. It's a strategic act of rhetorical control that reframes inquiry as entertainment, undermines professional legitimacy, and reinforces a gendered power dynamic in public discourse. It mirrors the entertainment industry." "Sir, the 20th century is over. Try catching up. Sex!st pr!ck." "It's the other men having the audacity to laugh for me....
America can't be a real place. I feel like I'm watching an episode of American Dad or Family Guy whenever Trump speaks." And finally, "Every woman familiar with this type of smarmy condescension just experienced a cold chill of disgust." What do you think about all this? LMK in the comments below!
