Donald Trump Tweeted A Message For International Women’s Day, And People Were Having None Of It

People were quick to point out the hypocrisy of his Women’s Day message

Yesterday’s International Women’s Day took on a special gravity, resulting from the emerging threat, chiefly from the Trump administration, on reproductive and women’s rights. Not only have Trump’s proposed policies been cause for concern, but so too have his offhand statements about women in his Twitter feuds and social interactions.
