Reebok Responds to Trump's Cringeworthy "Compliment" in the Best, Shadiest Way Possible

In case you missed it, President Donald Trump recently fired off yet another highly inappropriate comment toward a woman while the cameras were rolling. During a trip to Paris for Bastille Day, the POTUS greeted France's first lady, Brigitte Macron, by giving her a once-over before stating, "You're in such good shape. She's in such good physical shape . . . beautiful."
The entire cringeworthy moment was captured in a Facebook Live video, appalling viewers everywhere with how uncomfortable the entire exchange was. Just one day after the interaction was blasted all over social media, a rather unexpected company — Reebok — couldn't help but get in on the action by firing off a glorious subtweet aimed at Trump.
The footwear and apparel company made a nifty chart to help other people understand when it would be suitable to tell someone what Trump uttered to the French first lady. According to Reebok, it's only OK if you're saying such comments to a "forgotten action figure from your youth, unscathed after decades, in your parents' basement." Hah!
