Trump blasted for rambling answer to ‘what is a woman?’: ‘Somebody that can have a baby’

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump attempted to define a "woman" in response to a reporter's question at the White House on Friday, March 28, reported Mediaite.

The question, 'What is a woman?' has been notoriously posed to transgender activists and their allies by the right-wingers as an attempt to stump those who do not subscribe to the conservative gender ideology. It became popular after far-right filmmaker and radio host Matt Walsh released a film with the same title back in 2022.

Since taking office on January 20, Trump has pushed back against progressive gender ideology, signing an executive order stating that the federal government will be recognizing only two genders - male and female. In February, he signed another executive order, banning transgender athletes from women's sports.

Donald Trump's definition of a 'woman'

During a press briefing on Friday, a reporter thanked the POTUS for his administration's ban on trans athletes from women's sports, before saying, "Since Democrats seem to struggle answering this question, I want to ask you, what is a woman and why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women?”

"Well, it’s sort of easy to answer for me," began the 78-year-old commander-in-chief. "Because a woman is somebody that can have a baby, under certain circumstances. She has a quality – a woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, I’ve always found. A woman is a person that doesn’t give a man even a chance of success.”

He proceeded to bring up and attack trans women during his response, stating, "A woman is a person that, in many cases, has been treated very badly because I think what happens with this crazy issue, this crazy issue of men being able to play in women’s sports is just ridiculous, and very unfair to women, and very demeaning to women."

“We love our women," concluded Trump.
