Trump stunned by female supporter at Arizona rally

As the crowd erupted into cheers, Trump scoured the crowd to identify who was behind the compliment. “Where is that woman?” he queried while taking a pause mid-rally. “Stand up!” he added. Upon noticing her, the ex-prez exclaimed, “Look at her. Wow! I would say — that’s beautiful.”

A visibly awestruck Trump took shots at political correctness that rendered him unable to make comments about her appearance. “Is she your wife? You know what? I would say she’s a beautiful woman but if I did say that — my political career, you’re not allowed to say that. So I’m not allowed to call you a beautiful woman,” he said.

Despite suggesting that his political career would be under threat should he call the woman “beautiful,” Trump whispered into the microphone, “But she is!” He went on to reiterate his views on political correctness, saying, “It’s crazy what’s gone on! You have to be politically correct nowadays.”
