Donald Trump drew stinging backlash on Friday with his boast on Twitter that he’d “done more for WOMEN than just about any President in HISTORY!”

Trump also proposed in his post, ahead of the 100th anniversary on August 26 of the 19th Amendment granting women in the US the right to vote, building “a BEAUTIFUL STATUE in Washington D.C. to honour the many brave women who made this possible for our GREAT COUNTRY.”

I have done more for WOMEN than just about any President in HISTORY! As we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of women’s voting rights, we should build a BEAUTIFUL STATUE in Washington D.C. to honor the many brave women who made this possible for our GREAT COUNTRY...

...Congress should send me H.R.473 ASAP and make this happen! It will INSPIRE all women to continue being bold and brave in achieving their DREAMS!

Twitter users doubted the sincerity of Trump’s statue suggestion.

Some reminded the president of his past offensive rhetoric against women.

Trump only this week called senator Kamala Harris “nasty” and a “mad woman” after presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden named her as his running mate in the 2020 election.

Trump also described representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a “poor student” and accused her of yapping, prompting the progressive lawmaker to challenge the president to a grades fight in response.

Critics also noted the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct that have been levelled at Trump.

Others highlighted the Trump White House’s anti-women agenda ― from its push to defund Planned Parenthood to dissolving the White House Council on Women and Girls.

Speaking on behalf of most women... you're full of shit.

A statue is great and all, but how about funding the Postal Service so that women can actually vote? https://t.co/G8X6F6sbwG

Biden is leading 2-1 among female voters and it appears Trump's plan to remedy that is to build a statue. https://t.co/7ElOhbzdnk

I think you meant, “more TO women.” There I fixed that for you. Also, instead of a statue, let’s pass the Equal Rights Amendment. https://t.co/V1q6l5wc17

If he were at all serious (which of course he isn't), Donald Trump could visit this statue only a couple of miles from the White House and pay his respects to a brave and pathbreaking woman, educator and activist Mary McLeod Bethune, at East Capitol and 12th St. N.E., in D.C. https://t.co/6AULcuntY8 pic.twitter.com/54rCTXAvNd

Or you could put Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill, for example? https://t.co/Wy84SSVdsh

How do you commemorate all great women in our history with one statue?
What are you envisioning? A generic vagina?

RIDICULOUS LIE

Trump doesn't even try to keeps his lies within the realm of possibilities. Trump has done NOTHING for women apart from subject them to his sexist attitudes & behavior. Trump's insecurity is such that women, especially intelligent & strong women, terrify him!
