Men and women across the internet have fired back at reports that US President Donald Trump prefers his female colleagues to “dress like women,” giving the former beauty contest owner a lesson in exactly how women dress.

From army vets to heart surgeons and scientists, social media has hit back at the president’s out-of-touch comments.

 

A report from veteran political journalist Mike Allen says that the 45th president of the United States has very specific opinions about how his employees, both male and female, should dress at work.

Allen’s new website, Axios, say anonymous sources close to Donald Trump shared that the president prefers both men and women who work for him to look and dress a certain way.

For men, this means projecting a “strong” demeanour, and wearing solid colours and wide, traditional ties. “You’re always supposed to wear a tie,” said a source — ideally from the Donald J. Trump brand or Armani, but Brooks Brothers will do, too.

When it comes to women, though, “Trump likes the women who work for him “to dress like women,” a source who worked on Trump’s campaign reportedly told Allen. “Even if you’re in jeans, you need to look neat and orderly. We hear that women who worked in Trump’s campaign field offices — folks who spend more time knocking on doors than attending glitzy events — felt pressure to wear dresses to impress Trump.”

In response, #DressLikeAWoman quickly became the top trending topic of Twitter, as women flooded the internet with evidence of how to “dress like women.”

Many chose to highlight the many women working in the US military, donned in army fatigues and parachute packs, while others chose to show Trump how police officers and firefighters dress when they serve.

Even Pakistan’s Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai was mentioned as an example.

Images of sports icons, including tennis star Serena Williams and Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, were also shared.
