President Donald Trump joined a room full of women at a women’s empowerment event Wednesday in the final days of Women’s History Month. He talked about infrastructure and the Department of Transportation, heralded his cabinet full of women and rattled off some names of a few famous women.

“My cabinet is full of really incredible women leaders,” Trump told the room. It’s unclear what he meant by the word “full,” however. In fact, Trump’s cabinet is more white and more male than any cabinet since Ronald Reagan.

“Since the very beginning, women have driven, and I mean, each generation of Americans, towards a more free and more prosperous future,” Trump said. “These patriots are women like the legendary Abigail Adams, right? Who, during the founding, urged her husband to remember the rights of women. She was very much a pioneer in that way. We’ve been blessed with courageous heroes like Harriet Tubman who escaped slavery. And went on to deliver hundreds of others to freedom, first in the underground railroad and then as a spy for the union army. She was very, very courageous, believe me. Around we’ve had leaders like Susan B. Anthony. Have you heard of Susan B. Anthony? I’m shocked that you’ve heard of her — who dreamed of a much more fair and equal future and an America where women themselves as she said helped to make laws and elect the lawmakers, and that’s what’s happening more and more.”

1. Does anyone know what group invited him? ...

Why on earth would any self respecting women have this sexist sexual predator at their "empowerment" event? The only thing he can do is serve as an example of what type women should look out for and avoid if they want to truly be "empowered".

2. Susan B Anthony joins Frederick Douglass of people Trump's just now learned about

[Miles Archer]

3. I hear that both Douglass AND Anthony IGNORED Trump's invitation to join him at Mar-A-Lago.

I mean, after all, he IS the president. At LEAST extend him the courtesy of an RSVP.

10. "Did you know Susan B. Anthony stole the plans to the Death Star?...

...It's true. Incredible story. Lovely woman. Better if she'd been blonde, but what can you do? Fantastic woman."

11. He's shocked because he's the smartest man in the world and he'd never heard of her until today.

When someone wrote her name into his speech.

He probably thought she was Susan Anton

12. Susan B. Anton, no doubt, to whom I'm sure he'd have acted somewhere along these lines:

25. His hair looks more like a merkin than a wig to me. nt

[NewJeffCT]

13. Betsy DeVos, Nikki Haley, Elaine Chao and Linda McMahon?

that constitutes a cabinet full of women? None in the major positions - State, Defense, Attorney General or Treasury

[beam me up scottie]

19. Why on earth would they invite him to speak?

I'm no fan of his wife or daughters but even they would have been a vast improvement over this disgusting misogynist.

Were Rush and Milo invited too?

[brooklynite]

20. Well, at least he didn't roll out Omarosa again.

[demtenjeep]

21. god he is dumb

one of my kids was born at a Susan B Anthony Hospital


He Blotus...did you know that Harriett Tubman devoted the rest of her life AFTER the underground RR And being a Union Spy to opening her home to take care of the needy and unwanted and sick ? Something you will never know or care to do so bite me

[Gabi Hayes]

22. some fun....

[Gabi Hayes]

23. erin burnett actually just mentioned the ''irony'' of trump's appearance, and is about

to do a segment on it.

[JTFrog]

24. 10,000 Democratic Women are coming to make the laws motherfucker. You've inspired

the greatest women's movement in history.

Nevertheless, She Persisted.

[dhol82]

26. The real question is - who wrote this speech?

Appalling!
Don't they have anybody on the team who has a sense of reality?

[samnsara]

27. oh dear GAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyOwnPeace]

28. Did they..........

roll him into the room in a cage - just to protect the "grope" factor?

Why would ANY self-respecting group of women invite that THING to meet with them?
