Trump’s eyebrow-raising meltdown at a female reporter: Misogyny, mystery, and a mic drop moment you won’t believe!

Added on October 15, 2025 inPolitics Cards

Well, would you look at that—Donald Trump, the never-dry well of cringe, has once again dipped his toes into the murky waters of misogyny. Just when you think he might have run out of steam, the man surprised us all by brushing off a serious query from a female journalist with a patronizing “darling”—because why treat a question like, you know, something serious when you can turn it into a bad sitcom moment? Now, if ever there was a day to ponder the stars’ cosmic mischief, today’s Aquarius moon might just be fueling his rebellious, boundary-pushing antics. Aquarians aren’t known for tact, and Trump, well, let’s just say subtlety isn’t in his zodiac chart. From locker room talk to his oh-so-classy commentary on women ranging from political rivals to his own daughter, this guy’s got a playbook thicker than a New York City subway map. So, what’s next in his missive of obnoxious quips and unfiltered comments? Stay tuned—as the cosmos conspire and the tweets fly, the show never ends. LEARN MORE

Donald Trump has come under fire for making a ‘misogynistic’ remark when a female journalist asked him a question.

The president has quite the track record when it comes to making crude and often sexist remarks about women, particularly political rivals or reporters holding him to account.

After all, this is the man who famously proclaimed he could do ‘anything’ he wants, including ‘grabbing [women] by the p****,’ as per a leaked audio clip that resurfaced in 2016.

Trump has also made vulgar comments about Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, female House reps including Nancy Pelosi, comedian Rosie O’Donnell, contestants on The Apprentice, as well as Miss Universe and even his own daughter, to name just a few.

Now, the 79-year-old is up to his old chauvinist tricks, this time ignoring a journalist’s question and calling her ‘darling’.

The reporter asked Trump at the White House: “As China defends its presence in Latin America, what role do you see for the US?”

The POTUS then turned to Vice President JD Vance and said: “I just like to watch her talk.”

He then said to the journalist: “Good job. Thank you darling.”

Dozens have since slammed his response as ‘patronising’ and ‘misogynistic’.

“This is not just dismissive,” penned one on Twitter. “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.”

Another added: “No idea why every member of that press corp doesn’t all just leave en masse when he comes out with patronising, misogynistic s*** like this.”

A third said it was plain ‘sexual harassment on full display’ and ‘gross’ while many more said it was ‘creepy’.

It’s also not the first time Trump has commented on a journalist’s appearance.

In 2017, he paused a diplomatic call with the then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to beckon RTE presenter Caitriona Perry over to his desk.

He then said to the Irish politician in the call: “She has a nice smile on her face, so I bet she treats you well.”

In this past week alone, Trump has also made yet another tongue-in-cheek comment about his own White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

After signing off on a peace deal between Israel and Hamas earlier this week, the president randomly started talking about the 28-year-old’s appearance, stating: “That face… and those lips. They move like a machine gun, right?”

He made the same comment about Leavitt’s mouth back in August.

Other members in the Trump administration that have been on the receiving end of his cringe-inducing attempts at flattery include Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, both of whom, on separate occasions, he said he was unable to call ‘beautiful’ as it would be ‘the end of my political career.’

Meanwhile, those beyond his circle seem to be the subject of sexist insults.

For instance, he said New York Times columnist Gail Collins had ‘the face of a dog’ when she wrote about his bankruptcy, declared Fox presenter Megyn Kelly a ‘bimbo’ and alluded to her menstruating when she grilled him on previous accusations of sexism in a US presidential campaign debate.

And he said Arianna Huffington, editor of Huffington Post, was ‘unattractive both inside and out’ and jibed at her divorce.

On Twitter, he also claimed Clinton couldn’t ‘satisfy’ her husband in a thinly veiled dig at Bill Clinton’s affair, and later remarked how ‘blowjobs impacted’ Clinton and Harris’ careers, accusing the politicians of rising through the ranks due to sexual favours.

He also called 1996 Miss Universe winner and Venezuelan actress Alicia Machado ‘Miss Piggy’ and ‘Miss Housekeeping’.

He’s also implied actress Anne Hathaway is a gold digger; singer Cher has had ‘massive plastic surgeries that didn’t work’ and declared Angelia Jolie ‘not’ beautiful…
