Trump Press Conference With British Prime Minister

The Most Trump Thing Happened During His Press Conference With UK Prime Minister Theresa May

During his first official meeting with a foreign leader, President Donald Trump "mansplained" to the prime minister of the United Kingdom. Taking questions during a press conference with Theresa May, Trump answered a question directed at her instead of allowing her to speak for herself.

A reporter asked both Trump and May about the increasingly strained relationship between the United States and Mexico. But before May had a chance to answer, Trump gave his opinion. "I think the prime minister has other things that she's much more worried about than Mexico and the United States's relationship," he said.

When she eventually answered, May told the reporter that the matter was between the two countries. While May's reaction to Trump's "mansplaining" was not visible on camera, plenty of people responded to the interaction on Twitter; see their reactions below.

Trump is no stranger to disregarding women's opinions: during his first week in office, he signed an executive order prohibiting federal aid to family planning organizations that mention abortion and suspended federal grants for domestic violence victims surrounded by a room full of men with no women in sight.
