Donald Trump has grabbed national headlines recently for expressing disgust about a woman pumping breast milk and for suggesting that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly was tough on him at the first GOP debate because she had "blood coming out of her whatever." He's also on record calling Rosie O'Donnell "fat" and "ugly," and for telling a female contestant on The Apprentice, "That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees."

So it might surprise many Americans that in a Monday interview with MSNBC's Morning Joe, Trump said, "I would be the best for women, for women's health issues." When Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Trump how he'd tackle women's issues like equal pay and helping more women get access to capital, he responded by slamming Jeb Bush's fumble on women's healthcare last week, in which, according to Trump, "he said 'no money going to women's health issues' or essentially that."

While Trump wouldn't give any insights into his own policy ideas for women, he did promise that "there will be nobody better than Donald Trump." Watch below. Becca Stanek
