Reebok mocks Trump — then it backfires when comedian points out company’s sexist double standard
The Blaze ^ | July 16, 2017 | Chris Enloe

Athletic wear company Reebok used their Twitter account to scathingly mock President Donald Trump on Friday, taking a shot at the president for comments he made to France’s first lady on Friday.

Trump made headlines Friday during his visit to Paris, France, on Bastille Day. Trump and first lady Melania Trump were meeting with newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron and French first lady Brigitte Macron. The duo toured museums and participated in Bastille Day celebrations together.

After the Trumps and Macrons finished their visit of museums at Les Invalides, a Facebook video posted by the French government caught Trump telling Brigitte that she’s “in such good shape” and “beautiful,” according to the New York Times.....

Sorry, Glenn Beck doesn’t deserve a click. I caught his show last week and it was the usual unhinged Never Trumpism.

So you never go to the WaPo, NYT, Newsweek, ABC News, Reuters, AP and the like? Because they hate Trump worse than Beck.

How can it possibly hurt anyone to tell a woman "of a certain age" that she's in great shape and beautiful? Especially if she is.

Complimenting one person does not diminish anyone else, even if the news media says it diminishes everyone else.

I’m not a national brand so I can be non-PC and say flat out she needs to be in an eating disorder program.

So Rebok wants to write off all Trump supporters as potential purchasers of their athletic gear!

Once in a while, I will visit the Liberal/ Anarchist’s Hate-Bazaar, just to see what they’re obsessing about this week. That way, I know how to prepare when I meet with the few Liberal co-workers who can discuss ‘society and stuff’ without getting too upset. I know their talking points.

Brigitte Macron looks like she has worked hard to keep herself in shape. Why on earth would she object to being sincerely complimented on her success?

Reebok, obviously you don't want me as a customer. Can do.

Trump supporters should be buying from pro-Trump New Balance as it is.

Well add Reebok to Macy's, Penney's and Target idiot leadership that just cost the company shareholders money with their stupidity.

Rebook, If you haven't noticed, you use sex to sell your product every day.

We have been on to you for years.

I used to love watching football with my young son and dissecting commercials for beer, food and other items and asking him what they were really saying in those commercials. He turned into one smart kid.

That's different though. We KNOW those guys hate Trump. Beck on the other hand, was supposed to be on our side. He's a traitor.
