Donald Trump says he's not a feminist to the surprise of absolutely no one
You've heard it straight from the horse's mouth. Donald Trump says he doesn't call himself a feminist. Shocking, we know.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Trump said: "No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist."
"That would be, maybe, going too far," he added.
Well, knock me down with a feather.
He then clarified his statement.
"I'm for women. I'm for men. I'm for everyone. I think people have to go out ... and they have to win," Trump said.
The good news, however, is that women are doing well by Trump's estimation: "And, women are doing great, and I'm happy about that."
Thanks so much, Donald!

Asked about the Women's March, Trump said: "You're always going to have marches," adding that this year's march was "a lot smaller than it was last year."
Trump's statement that he's not a feminist prompted some social media users to provide definitions of the word "feminist" to underline his lack of commitment to women's rights.
