Trump was also likely referring to the female pilot of the military helicopter.

His new head of the military doesn't think women should be in active duty roles, so this would make sense.

Are you thinking of frontline roles? No active duty women would be absurd, but I am not familiar with this Hegseth or whatever his name is I suppose it's possible

  • Hegseth has stated on record that he doesn't think women should be in physical, in-person combat roles like infantry. He has stated he has no problems with women pilots, etc. so the GP is exaggerating.

  • He seemed to mostly talk about combat, flying a VIP person out of the white house during an attack would be some form of combat IMO.
