It's no secret that the majority of the women in the United States are not fans of Donald Trump. During a recent interview, the president announced that he was not a "Feminist."
Trump not a feminist
Since the start of Donald Trump's campaign for president back in the summer of 2015, it's been clear that a lot of groups are just not behind the agenda of the billionaire real estate mogul. One group that has stood out has been women, most notably over Trump's policy proposals and controversial rhetoric that many find degrading and insulting. Adding fuel to the fire has been the allegations of sexual assault and harassment, which became public in October 2016 after the release of the now in famous "Access Hollywood" tape.
Fast forward to present day and the "Me Too" and "Times Up" movement have become headline news following the revelations of decades of sexual abuse at the hands of film producer Harvey Weinstein. As reported by The Hill on January 27, Trump confirmed that he's not a "feminist."

President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist.
He tells me: ‘No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I'm for women, I'm for men, I’m for everyone.'

According to The Hill on Saturday night, Donald Trump addressed the issue of feminism during an interview with Piers Morgan will be released on Sunday.
"No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist," Trump said. "I think that would be, maybe, going too far," he added. Trump then explaining that he wasn't a feminist because he was "for everyone," and not just men or women. As expected, the former host of "The Apprentice" didn't surprise many with his remarks, and over the course of the next few hours, those who oppose Trump wasted no time in lashing out and giving the president a piece of their mind when it comes to the issue of his lack of support for women's rights.
Instant reaction
After the news broke of Donald Trump's comments, critics of the president made sure to lash out. "I wouldn’t say you’re human," one tweet read.
