President Trump doesn't shy away from media questions, no matter how difficult they might be. You won't hear him deliver responses in political-speak. And you won't hear him say he'll address the matter after speaking to his aides.
He's very upfront and, unlike his political adversaries, talks like a normal human being.
But when a reporter on Friday asked him the one question that has confounded countless Democrats, media members, college students, and even one Supreme Court Justice, all one could do was hold their breath.
Would he be able to answer? Or would he get tripped up like so many before him?
"What is a woman?" one reporter wondered. "And why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women?"
As one would imagine, Trump fielded the question rather easily, providing his trademark sense of humor in the process.
"Well, it's sort of easy to answer for me, because a woman is somebody that can have a baby, under certain circumstances," he replied. "She has a quality - A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, I've always found."
His comment elicited laughter and applause throughout the room.

Trump continued, saying, "A woman is a person that doesn't give a man even a chance of success."
Which is either an attempt at keeping the 'women are better than men' quip going, or he meant to say a man can't have success without a woman by his side.
We're sure Melania would agree.
The President then turned the question into a lesson in how women, with men being forced into sports by the extreme left, have not been treated well in recent years. Which changes now under the new science-based administration.
"A woman is a person that, in many cases, has been treated very badly," he said. "Because I think what happens with this crazy, this crazy issue of men being able to play in women's sport is just ridiculous, and very unfair to women, and very demeaning to women."
And *this* answer right here sums up how most Americans feel about the gender stuff, with some dashes of Trump humor.

It's a loser issue that the Dems continue to double down on, and it's killing them with voters. https://t.co/UtO9ZK5Xgn
It's so simple. You might laugh, but that very question has tripped up many people - some of our brightest minds - in the past.
Civil rights attorney and Democrat activist Maya Wiley said at a congressional hearing this past June, "A woman is a person who says she is."

Great, I'm a unicorn. It must be.
Regarding Trump's comment about women being able to have babies, pro-abortion activist Aimee Arrambide, at a House Judiciary Committee a few years ago, claimed men are capable of getting pregnant and having abortions.
Former Representative Dan Bishop (R-NC) asked her to define what “a woman is.”
“I believe that everyone can identify for themselves,” Arrambide replied.
“Do you believe that men can become pregnant and have abortions?” Bishop then asked.
“Yes,” she replied.
Bishop's "Hmm" at the end of the clip below is everything.

Then, of course, there is perhaps the most famous instance of someone supposedly of great intellectual stature - Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson - being unable to answer the same question.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), asked Jackson at her nomination hearing, "Can you provide a definition for the word ‘woman?’"
“Can I provide a definition? No,” she replied, adding, "Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”

Yet somehow, Trump, who is, to the best of my knowledge, also not a biologist, was able to field the question.
While it was funny, I half-expected or hoped he would have answered it the same way former Fox News host Tucker Carlson did, complete with a chart of the female reproductive system.
“A woman is a human being with two X chromosomes. Ask any geneticist. It’s detectable in a blood test, but if you’re still confused by what a woman is, you can ask a doctor,” Carlson said.
Then, he took the Supreme Court Justice and his viewers to school.
President Trump went on to explain that he hopes Democrats continue their war on women because it means the election prospects for the GOP will be safe for quite a while.
"That's gotta be about a 94 percent issue," he said. "I watched - the other day - I watched a well-known Democrat congressman fighting for the fact that men should be allowed to compete essentially in women's sports."
"I hope they keep that going because they'll never win another election," Trump said. "That's a big deal. But women are basically incredible people, do so much for our country, and we love our women."
