At the White House on Friday, President Trump told a reporter that failed presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren lost her campaign not because of sexism, but because “People don’t like her.”
Warren dropped out of the race on Thursday, lamenting that she had failed the girls she met on the campaign trail whom she wanted to inspire. “One of the hardest parts of this is all those pinky promises, and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years,” she said. “That’s going to be hard.”
“I think lack of talent was her problem,” Trump stated. “She had a tremendous lack of talent.” He went on to acknowledge, however, that Warren was a good debater. “She destroyed Mike Bloomberg, very quickly like it was nothing,” he said. “That was easy for her.”
But what really scuttled her shot at the White House, according to Trump, is that “People don’t like her. She’s a very mean person, and people don’t like her,” he pointed out. “People don’t want that. They like a person like me that’s not mean.”
