Why was Trump’s compliment of Macron’s wife criticized?

Published 1:30 am Friday, July 28, 2017

Reading the salacious headline “Trump caught complimenting Macron’s wife’s body,” I thought I would read a salacious story to go with it. Then I read the story and found these supposedly offensive words, “You know, you’re in such good shape” and “Beautiful.” Have we come so far down the word-police pathway that we can’t tell someone they look in good shape and/or are beautiful? Or is it bigger than that, and the fake news media saw an opportunity to twist another Trump story into a salacious headline? I know it was an Associated Press story, but The Herald saw it fit to be printed. Don’t look now, Herald, but your bias is showing again.
