President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t consider himself a feminist, explaining Thursday in his first international broadcast interview since taking office that he’s for all men and women.
“I wouldn’t say I’m a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I’m for women, I’m for men, I’m for everyone,” Trump told British journalist Piers Morgan.
