News India Live, Digital Desk: US President Donald Trump is known for his outspoken and often controversial statements. Recently, during an important meeting of the ‘Peace Board’, where serious issues around the world were being discussed, Trump surprised everyone by suddenly mentioning his preference for women. The video of his statement is now becoming increasingly viral on social media.
Serious meeting and Trump’s ‘light’ style
The purpose of this meeting of the Peace Board was to discuss global conflicts and measures to restore peace. When the discussion turned towards social harmony, Trump took the microphone in his familiar style and said, “I like women, they’re wonderful.” Although he tried to say this in a positive context, considering the seriousness of the meeting, the diplomats and officials present there appeared a little uncomfortable.
What was the context of this statement?
Experts believe that Trump often makes such public statements to improve his ‘anti-women’ image.
Eye on vote bank: Trump knows very well how important the role of women voters is in the upcoming political equations.
Demonstration of soft power: By making such comments during the peace talks, he probably wanted to show that he is a friendly and modern thinking leader.
Debate broke out on social media
After this statement of Trump, the internet is divided into two groups:
Supporters’ side: Trump’s fans say that he speaks what he feels and there is nothing wrong in that.
Critics’ stance: Women’s rights activists argue that making such ‘casual’ remarks in a high-level meeting like the Peace Board is against the dignity of the post.
Trump’s previous record
This is not the first time Trump has made any comments about women. In the past too, many of his statements have created uproar. Although, there has been a slight change in his statements since becoming the President, his ‘raw style’ of speaking still remains intact.
