Swedish climate minister appears to mock Trump administration with all-women photo
http://thehill.com/homenews/news/317758-swedish-climate-minister-appears-to-mock-trump-administration-with-all-woman
Swedish Deputy Prime Minister and Climate Minister Isabella Lövin appeared to mock the Trump administration with a photo of herself surrounded by women as she signs a climate law.
In the photo, Lövin stares straight at the camera and is surrounded by seven women as she signs a law that set a goal of phasing out fossil fuels by 2045.
The photo bears a resemblance to an image of President Trump signing an executive order on his third day in office to restrict funds for overseas organizations that provide abortion services or support abortion rights.
In the photo, Trump is surrounded by Vice President Pence and six male advisers.
Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) presented the photo on the House floor last week.
“Look at this picture. Where are the women?” Maloney asked. “Yesterday, the president signed an executive order affecting and restricting healthcare for millions of women across the world while no woman was present.”

I love it when I wake up in the morning and America's allies are trolling our awful president! Especially when other governments have way more women than ours.
