Trump blasts Obama’s ‘ridiculous’ take all-women governments would ‘be better’

President Trump went after former President Obama over the weekend for the latter’s claim that if the worlds’ governments were run entirely by women, it would lead to a “better” situation.

During an event at Salem State University last week, Obama said during his presidency, he “sometimes fantasized about, if you put women in charge of every government for like two years, and then just kind of saw, all right, how are things going?”

“I have a strong belief that things would — they wouldn’t be perfect, but they’d be better,” he added.

When a reporter on Saturday asked about the former president’s comments, Trump said, “I love women, I think they’re great, but what a ridiculous statement that is, right?”

Trump’s remarks continue his years-long pattern of attacking Obama, and the two have traded multiple barbs in the last decade. Trump also notably promoted the false idea that Obama was not born in the U.S., which many critics slammed as a racist attack against the first Black president.

In June, Obama said he believed Trump had an “obsession” with him, adding he existed in a “suite in his head.”

Trump has been accused of sexism and inappropriate behavior toward women in the past, which he has strongly denied . During his second term, the president has frequently told reporters — often women — to be “quiet” in response to their questions .
