President Trump slammed for ignoring female reporter's question with 'misogynistic' response


Donald Trump is once again under fire after a recent incident at the White House, where he dismissed a female reporter’s question during a press conference.

The moment quickly went viral on social media, prompting widespread backlash for his treatment of the journalist.

This is the latest in a series of remarks from the Republican leader that many critics have labeled as inappropriate or disrespectful toward women.

The incident during the press conference

On October 14, 2025, Trump met with Argentina’s President Javier Milei for a bilateral lunch and a press conference. While the two leaders discussed various issues, including the political climate in Argentina, it was one specific moment that caught the attention of viewers.

A female reporter was called upon to ask a question regarding China’s involvement in Latin America. However, Trump didn’t address her question and instead commented, "I just like to watch her talk," before turning to the press member and saying, "Good job. Thank you, darling."

Public outrage over the comment

The video quickly made the rounds on Twitter, where many users expressed outrage over Trump’s remarks.

One person criticized his behavior, stating, "Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, 'I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling'."

Others echoed this sentiment, calling the comment patronizing and misogynistic. One user wrote, "The Misogynistic President," while another remarked, "Trump treats women as objects. He demeans them publicly."

This wasn’t the first instance this week that Trump has faced backlash for his remarks towards women. On October 13, during an event in Egypt, he made a controversial comment about Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, calling her "a beautiful young woman."

Despite his apparent attempt to compliment her, critics have pointed out that such comments often undermine women’s political careers and can be seen as inappropriate.

The recent comments add to a growing list of instances where Trump has been called out for his interactions with female figures in politics and media. Many are questioning how such behavior continues without significant consequences.
