Remember when President Donald Trump ran for office and Scarlett Fay Archivesmade campaigning for women's empowerment a priority?
If you don't it's probably because you were too distracted by him saying he likes to grab women "by the pussy," suggesting we check out a sex tape of former Miss Universe contestant, Alicia Machado, or calling Hillary Clinton a "nasty woman," among other things.
But in his daily press briefing on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was sure to let everyone know that Trump is great at empowering women.
Sadly, he was not being ironic.

"Women’s History Month is coming to an end, but the Trump administration is committed to empowering women in the workplace," Spicer said. "The President made women’s empowerment a priority throughout the campaign, speaking out on affordable childcare and paid family leave, investing in women’s health, and the barriers faced by female entrepreneurs and business owners."
Based on Trump's past misogynistic behavior and comments, it should come as no surprise that Spicer's comments left people utterly baffled. Like, hello? Was Spicey living under a rock during the campaign?

Despite Trump's past transgressions, his loyal press secretary continued to publicly brag about his work with women.
"The president believes, as the first lady said this morning, 'Wherever women are diminished, the entire world is diminished with them. However, wherever women are empowered, towns, villages, schools and economies are empowered, and together, we are all made stronger,'" Spicer went on to explain, before promising, "The Trump administration will continue to work to ensure that the American economy is a place where women can work and thrive."
Now, okay. Sure. I suppose Donald Trump empowers women in the sense that his actions enrage them so immensely that they're inspired to come together to protest for their rights, but other than that? We're not too sure what Spicer is bragging about.
But to be fair, Trump has also claimed on several occasions to have IMMENSE respect for women, so maybe Spicer is just repeating his boss's words.

As the briefing progressed, Spicer proved that, like Trump, he too respects women a great deal by telling April Ryan -- Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks -- to stop shaking her head.

Welp, that settles it then.
