TRUMP: 'I wouldn't say I'm a feminist'

by Allan Smith on Jan 27, 2018, 7:28 PM

President Donald Trump told Piers Morgan that he isn't a feminist.
"I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far," he said. "I'm for women, I'm for men, I'm for everyone."

President Donald Trump told British television personality Piers Morgan in an interview set to air Sunday that he doesn't consider himself to be a feminist.

Morgan, who previously won Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" and is friendly with the president, tweeted about the comment Saturday. Morgan interviewed Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week.

"BREAKING NEWS: President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist," Morgan tweeted Saturday.

Morgan added that Trump said, "No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist."

"I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far," he continued. "I'm for women, I'm for men, I'm for everyone."

Incisive journalism: asking a man who has said that changing diapers is "up to the women" and who advised husbands to not "act like the wife" if he's a feminist. https://t.co/HjdnZpr3Sw

I think Howard Stern actually broke this news when he asked Donald Trump, "Can I call your daughter Ivanka a piece of ass," and *Trump said yes.* https://t.co/fLW6ODMpie

I'm sorry. I might not recover from the shock. Distribute my possessions fairly. Remember me fondly. https://t.co/Wsn8sTKsaY
