Recently, Donald Trump made some very strange comments during a town hall meeting, leaving many people scratching their heads. In a tweet about this awkward moment, Mike Sington pointed out, “Trump gets all creepy at Fox News town hall. Calls himself the ‘father of IVF,’ and describes US Senator Katie Britt as ‘young’ and ‘fantastically attractive.’

When asked about abortion bans and their effects on IVF treatments, Trump said that Britt called him in a panic, saying, “Emergency! Emergency!” A judge had ruled that IVF clinics in Alabama needed to shut down. Trump then admitted, “I didn’t even know they were going, you know, they were — it’s fertilization.” Wait a second! How can someone who calls himself the “father of IVF” not know how it works?

Britt explained IVF to Trump over the phone, and he asked her to “explain IVF very quickly.” After just two minutes, he claimed he understood everything. If he’s the “father of IVF,” shouldn’t he already know the basics?
Trump also tried to take credit for fixing the situation in Alabama. He claimed he wrote a “really powerful statement” about IVF and said the Republican Party was “totally in favor of IVF.” But if they really cared, why was there so much confusion? Many people are worried about access to IVF because of strict laws. It’s hard to believe they are true supporters when they keep making it so difficult for women to get help.
Instead of focusing on serious issues, Trump seems more interested in flirting and making strange remarks. It’s important to see that while Trump and his supporters want to say they are pro-IVF, their actions often tell a different story. They support laws that control women’s bodies and limit access to important medical treatments. If they truly cared about families, they would support IVF without hesitation.
Trump’s comments show a big lack of understanding and respect for women. We need leaders who truly care about women’s health and rights, not just their looks. We also need leaders who focus on real issues instead of making awkward comments and confusing claims.
