Donald Trump
Mocking the ongoing "#MeToo" movement that is slowly spreading to various parts of the world, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that he needs to censor himself due to the rules of this movement, which is being enforced by the press.
Trump made the remarks while addressing a mid-term election rally in Pennsylvania.
"There's an expression, but under the rules of #MeToo, I am not allowed to use that expression anymore. I can't do it," Trump said and then he pointed at the phrase "the girl that got away".
"It's the person that got away. The old days, it was a little different than Pennsylvania to it," Trump said referring to the GOP's inability to win presidential elections earlier.
Pointing to the media, Trump said he would use the original phrase, except for the media. "I would do it except for these people up there. They would say, did you hear what President Trump said? Did you hear what he said?" he said imitating reporters.
"So, there is an expression, but we'll change the expression. Pennsylvania was always the person that got away. That's pretty good," he said amidst applause from the audience.
