US chair Donald ruff called Italian ground government minister Giorgia Meloni a “beautiful adult female” while addressing the world leaders at a Gaza summit in Egypt. X, however, is irked with the 79-year-old president's remarks on the 48-year-old state head, who was the only female leader on stage.
From calling the moment "embarrassing" to labelling Trump as “cringe,” people shared varied remarks. An individual remarked, “International embarrassment.” Another added, “This is very embarrassing.”
A third expressed, “Will talking about a female world leader’s looks at an important, possibly historic occasion get you the Nobel Peace Prize or not?” A fourth wrote, “Epic levels of cringe.”
An X user, while sharing the video tweeted, “This is gross. Mid-speech in Egypt, Trump called the Italian Prime Minister a “beautiful young woman” and she looked very uncomfortable. He continues to humiliate the U.S. On the world stage.”
"I'm not allowed to say it because usually it's the end of your political career if you say it -- she's a beautiful young woman," Trump said in the middle of a speech about his peace efforts for the Middle East.
"If you use the word 'beautiful' in the United States about a woman, that's the end of your political career, but I'll take my chances."
The US president then turned back to address Meloni and said, "You don't mind being called beautiful, right? Because you are."
Her reaction was not visible as Trump’s back blocked the cameras. After calling her beautiful, the US leader went on to praise her. "And they really respect her in Italy. She's a very successful politician.”
The Italian leader was the only female among the 30 leaders who gathered on the stage behind Trump to attend the summit.
