It took Trump exactly one nod at Democrats’ egos to get them on their feet during the State of the Union washex.am/2St4e6C
"No one has benefited more from a thriving economy than women who have filled 58 percent of the newly created jobs last year," Trump said.

The president continued, advising Democratic lawmakers to stay on their feet for what he was about to say next. They complied.
"Don't sit yet. You're going to like this. And exactly one century after Congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in Congress than at any time," he said with a grin.
