Donald Trump just made a shocking joke about having sex with models in the middle of a coronavirus briefing last week.

On Friday, the POTUS shared the new recommendation given by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on how to prevent the further spread of the deadly coronavirus.

According to the CDC, Americans should consider wearing non-medical facial masks voluntarily to help slow the spread of the virus. While reading the recommendation, the president stressed the fact that the directive should be done voluntarily.

He also said that non-medical facial masks may be purchased online or may also be made at home using old fabric. These types of face covers may be washed and reused for as long as possible.

“I want to emphasize that the CDC is not recommending the use of medical-grade or surgical-grade masks. We want that to be used for our great medical people that are working so hard and doing some job,” he said.

But during the press briefing, the POTUS made a cryptic comment about coronavirus models that did not sit well with his critics. While speaking with Dr. Deborah Birx, the coronavirus coordinator for the White House, Trump dragged his past history with models.

“I want to come way under the models. The professionals did the models. I was never involved in a model. But – at least this kind of a model,” he joked.

Immediately after, the POTUS was lambasted by his critics online. Twitter user @ECMcLaughlin couldn’t believe how Trump had the audacity to joke about his past history with models while the country is dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

“The President of the United States just made a joke about being involved with models, in the very same breath as saying the death toll could be hundreds of thousands, at the pandemic press conference,” Twitter user @HollHox said.

The POTUS seems to have a soft spot for models. After all, he is married to former model Melania Trump. But even before they tied the knot, he also dated other models.

From 2001 to 2003, Trump dated model Kara Young. Years earlier, the president was also linked to model Kylie Bax. Following their split, the two have maintained a close friendship with each other.

According to Mirror, Trump also dated model Rowanne Brewer Lane very briefly after meeting each other at a pool party. At that time, Lane was just 26 years old.
