“I shouldn’t say this because it’s politically incorrect… She’s beautiful.” “And you are beautiful. I’m not allowed to say that, you know. That could be the end of my political career, but you are beautiful and you’re beautiful inside.”

Critics condemned his comments.

Supporters defended President Trump, arguing that offering a compliment on a woman’s beauty is not inherently offensive when delivered respectfully.

Let’s just say, it’s good to be king! Even better when that king cares nothing for liberal media flak.

“He mentioned both...inner and natural beauty.”

Well he’s wrong on one of them, and I don’t know her well enough to say anything definitive about the other.

"Every woman wants to be told they’re beautiful."

If not, why would she have groomed herself so well; why was her make-up, hair, and dress so perfect. All that takes great effort, and not for no reason.

It's a puzzle to me why some women spend so much money and go to such lengths to look good and then act offended when complemented on it.

Speaking of beautiful Angolan women, the TV series El Accidente (The Accident) by Walter Presents, now on PBS TV, is a relentlessly high-pressure, on-the-edge-of-your-seat spellbinder (Spanish language, English subtitles).

WOW!

Some really good series on the same program are Paradiso (Italian), Lola Lobosco (Italian), The Silence of Water (Italian), Velvet (Spanish), The Adulterer (Netherlands), and the best of them all Seaside Hotel (Danish).

Show me a woman who does not like compliments from men and I’ll show you a woke lesbian.

Only two types of people object to this: jealous ones who envy his proximity to beauty, and those too ugly to ever get a compliment from anyone not totally desperate.

Taking time to dress well and look good is part of self-respect for a woman. It is not necessarily done to attract men. But, for a normal woman, it is nice to receive a compliment. Can’t speak for the man-haters.

This is a good example of how women think. The ones who like Trump will say it was perfectly fine, the ones who don’t like him will say it was creepy and inappropriate. Just like they will do in any environment when a man compliments them. Good if they like him, bad if they don’t.

It was a stodgy old New England bank.

We were explicitly told that we were expected to act like ladies and gentleman.

I could never get the old accent down, but nevertheless, we would not be able to talk about how beautiful an employee was.

And no sane executive would.
