Unfortunately, the positions of first and second lady aren't exactly senior-level government positions. Nor are they, strictly speaking, "jobs." And while we can make a case that Donald Trump did technically make Melania first lady, it's a real stretch to say that he picked Mike Pence's wife for him. But that's just scratching the surface of how ham-fisted and bad faith this PR is. As Ashley Feinberg points out at Huffington Post, claiming that Trump appointed more women than any other administration is just a straight up lie. According to government records, he's on par with the George Bush administration, and trailing behind both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

Let's also consider the men Trump has appointed. There's noted female athleticism skeptic, Stephen Miller, for example. There's Rob Porter, who was accused of domestic abuse then vigorously defended by the Trump administration until shocking photos of Porter's ex-wives surfaced. Former adviser Steve Bannon faced similar accusations from his ex-wife. And Trump himself has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen women. But his press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders assures us that none of those women can be trusted.
