He noted the superior qualities of women, expressing admiration for their impact on his administration.
A New Republican Women’s Caucus

The initiative strategically positions Republican women to push for representation in leadership roles.
Participants, including Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, praised Trump’s support for women by highlighting his appointments of women to top roles and protection of opportunities. The event honored numerous historical figures such as Betsy Ross and Harriet Tubman, as well as current leaders like Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Executive Orders and Future Initiatives

Another executive order addresses the prohibition of transgender women in sports, and a separate directive aims to improve access to and affordability of in vitro fertilization (IVF) services, cementing Trump’s role as a “fertilization president.”
“For four long years, we had an administration that tried to abolish the very concept of womanhood and replace it with radical gender ideology… Under the Trump administration, we’re ending the Marxist war on women,” Trump notably said.
Trump’s assertions against previous anti-women policies and his promise to end what he called the “Marxist war on women” further reaffirmed his stance. His leadership endeavors to ensure that women can compete on a level playing field, underscoring his commitment to empowering women across the nation.
