US Election 2016 News & Update: Donald Trump Angered Women After Video Of 2004 Interview Resurfaced, Says Pregnancy Is An ‘Inconvenience’ For Business

Donald Trump has been again caught up in controversy for his damning views after a video of his 2004 interview resurfaced. The presumptive GOP presidential nominee of the U.S. Election 2016, who is also a well-known business tycoon, has recently angered some women after he said in the 2004 interview that pregnancy is an "inconvenience" for a business.

Donald Trump Confirmed That Pregnancy Is An 'Inconvenience' For A Business

NBC News recently republished a video of Donald Trump's October 2004 interview with the television network's "Dateline." The video called "Blonde Ambition" focused on Carolyn Kepcher who was the vice president of Trump Golf Properties and mainstay of "The Apprentice" boardroom at that time. During the TV program's episode, Donald Trump was interviewed after Carolyn Kepcher admitted that she had to wait six months before informing Trump about her pregnancy as she was worried about her career.

"Pregnancy is a wonderful thing for the woman, it's a wonderful thing for the husband. It's certainly an inconvenience for a business," Donald Trump stated in the 2004 interview in response to Carolyn Kepcher's concern. "Whether people want to say that or not, the fact is, it is an inconvenience for a person that is running a business," he affirmed.
