President Donald Trump faced an immediate backlash after he tweeted a clip about women on Thursday night.

Hundreds reminded the president of his offensive hot mic comments on that 2005 bus ride with former “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush, his signing of an anti-abortion executive order whilst surrounded entirely by men and his spat with former Fox News host Megyn Kelly.
Here’s a sampling of the reactions:
