Trump defines women through reproduction and jokes about men's success
Asked to define a woman, Trump used the ability to have a baby and joked that women are smarter than men and leave men no chance of success. [Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration]
Read the scope first.
This records the described remarks, not a finding about discriminatory intent, harassment, audience reaction, or the speaker's private beliefs.
WHAT THE DOCUMENT SAYS
The record.
Trump answered the definition question with a reproductive criterion and generalizations about women and men. [Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration]
KEEP THIS PART ATTACHED
The context.
The question praised his appointments of women. His answer also praised women and defended restrictions on transgender athletes; this entry records the answer rather than duplicating an existing policy receipt. [Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration]
SEPARATE FROM THE FACTUAL RECORD
Editorial classification.
sex-or-gender
The sex/gender tag is supported by the explicit generalizations. Criticism of reproductive reduction and gender stereotyping is editorial judgment, not an inference of hostile private motive. [Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration]
These labels explain the editors’ selection. They are not a court finding or an automated verdict.
