British journalist Piers Morgan revealed details of his recent interview with Donald Trump in his Twitter account.
In particular, he apparently considered it especially important to inform internet users about the "sensational" fact that the US president is not a feminist.
In an attempt to make his tweet catchy, Morgan provided it with a caption: "BREAKING NEWS."

President Trump has declared he is NOT a feminist.
He tells me: ‘No, I wouldn't say I'm a feminist. I mean, I think that would be, maybe, going too far. I'm for women, I'm for men, I’m for everyone.'

The post went viral, with internet users reacting to it mostly with sarcasm, noting that Trump has given people little reason to believe that he could somehow be associated with the feminist movement.

Another comment that set Twitter on fire was made by the US president himself. His remark came as a response to the recent statement made by American rapper Jay-Z, who assessed Trump's presidency as "disappointing" in an interview with CNN on Saturday.
"Yes, it's disappointing and hurtful. Everyone feels anger. After the anger, it's really hurtful because he's like looking down on a whole population of people," Jay-Z said.
On Sunday, Donald Trump responded to the rapper's statement.
Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!

Social media users were quick to react to his post.
Your policies? Really! It wasn't Obama's last 8 years in office of hard work and persistence that brought down unemployment? Get here you are down trying to claim credit for everything he did.SAD!

According to official data, African American unemployment went down to 6.8%, reaching an all-time low, in December 2017. However, some experts argued that credit should rather go to the Obama administration, as the unemployment started to "decline dramatically on Barack Obama's watch," according to FRED economic data.
