President Donald Trump faced widespread criticism on social media after making a backhanded compliment about a professional women's basketball player during a campaign rally.

At a Monday rally in Youngstown, Ohio, President Donald Trump told former NFL coach Jon Gruden that WNBA player Sophie Cunningham is 'beautiful' but implied she helps attendance rather than scoring, prompting critics like Mehdi Hasan and Michael Salfino to call him an 'old creep' and a 'pig' on X.
