Trump Victory Speech Response: The Donald's 'Woman Card' Comment Blasted on Twitter
Last night was a big night for Donald Trump. He swept five primaries--Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. It earned him 110 delegates and the confidence to declare in a victory speech at Trump Tower in New York City: "I consider myself the presumptive nominee."
But that's not all Trump had to say during his victory speech. He also found time to comment on the presumptive Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton, saying "Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's card. And the beautiful thing is, women don't like her."
This morning, Trump went on Good Morning America to defend his comments, saying "It's not sexist. It's true. It's just a very, very true statement. If she were a man, she'd get 5 percent. She's a bad candidate. She's a flawed candidate."

And as you can imagine, a lot of women were not amused by the line and took to Twitter slam Trump under the hastag #Womancard. It's pretty awesome.
Some asked where they get their woman card:
Where did I put my #womancard again?

Others wondered if it provided any discounts:

A few tied to the issues like gender pay gap and employee maternity leave

When you change your name on your #womancard, plan to spend a day in lines & bring your checkbook. It's still worth less than a gun permit. — BrindaDWhoreEstrella (@BrindaStar) April 27, 2016
But the best tweet probably belong to Hillary Clinton, herself:
“If fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the ‘woman card,’ then deal me in.” —Hillary — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) April 27, 2016
