Fox News Anchor Maria Bartiromo Tells Trump: ‘Thanks for All That You’re Doing for Women’
Fox anchor Maria Bartiromo thanked President Donald Trump “for all that you’re doing for women” as he signed a proclamation for Women’s History Month.
On Thursday, Trump signed several executive orders and proclamations in front of reporters in the Oval Office.
Flanked by a map of the U.S. with the words “Gulf of America” in very large font, Trump was handed documents to sign.
“So, two very special proclamations,” An aide told him. “The first of which is a proclamation that proclaims March 2025 as Women’s History Month in honor of all the wonderful women in your administration, all the wonderful women in America, and in honor of everything you’ve done for women and this administration has done for women in just, what – a month and a half?”
“Yup, we’ve done a lot,” Trump replied. “And women have done a lot for us, right? This is an honor. We have a wonderful woman here, Maria Bartiromo.”
“Thank you so much,” replied the anchor of Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News and Mornings With Maria on Fox Business.
“Nice to have you, Maria,” the president told her.
“Thank you very much, Mr. President,” she replied. “And thanks for all that you’re doing for women.”
“She’s gonna do an interview of me later,” he said. “Maybe I shouldn’t do this interview. I should be like Biden, never do any interviews.”
Trump’s aides laughed as he signed the proclamation.
“That’s great,” Trump concluded. “Women, we love you.”
The aide who handed him the document added, “We love you too, Sir.”
The president has made banning transgender women from women’s sports a key plank in his cultural issue platform. Last month, he signed an executive order stating:
[I]t is the policy of the United States to rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities, which results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy. It shall also be the policy of the United States to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports more broadly, as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.
During a joint address to Congress on Tuesday, one of Trump’s guests was a former high school volleyball player who, the president claimed, was injured by a spike from a transgender opponent during a match.
