Samantha Bee's tweet about Trump and 'A Day Without A Woman' totally nailed it
Donald Trump does seem to enjoy being surrounded by men while he signs important documents and poses for group shots in the Oval Office.
But on International Women's Day these dude-heavy photos might come back to haunt him. Maybe because the day is also being observed as "A Day Without Women" to show how vital women are in the workforce, economy and society.
As Samantha Bee pointed out in a tweet from her Full Frontal Twitter account, Trump has no problem with the women's strike because he is so feminist. Feminist to the point where every day he keeps women out of high-level meetings and decisions. Like those about their bodies and reproductive rights.

The image Bee used was from a meeting last week with health insurance company CEOs. There are plenty of other examples of all-guys group shots in the White House. (To be fair, Trump does include women in other meetings, but you have to search for them. And we can't forget about Kellyanne Conway.)

Trump's predilection for groups of men doesn't exactly help support his International Women's Day tweets about his "tremendous respect for women"in the slightest, as duly noted by Bee and her show.
