Shortly after he deleted his post, a fellow Facebook user commented on his page, saying, “I noticed you deleted a derogatory comment you made about women, good think I saved a screenshot!”.

Charlotte Church, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, held a placard which read: “I didn’t come from your rib, you came from my vagina”, which seemed as an attempt to slap down the Biblical story of how Eve was created from Adam’s rib bone.

Theresa May who will visit the new President at the White House on Friday said she is prepared to be “very frank” with Trump and is not afraid to challenge his remarks in regards to women.
