Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Monday said the U.S. should not tell countries with large Muslim populations to forbid burkas. 

{mosads}”They want to [wear them]!” Trump said to his supporters at a town hall in Atkinson, N.H. “What the hell are we getting involved for? In fact it’s easier. You don’t have to put on makeup, look how beautiful everyone looks. Wouldn’t it be easier?” 

Trump then waved his hand across his face, alluding to a burka, and said it’d be a lot easier for women to forgo putting on makeup and instead wear the traditional Muslim covering. 

“I’m ready darling, let’s go,” he said, mimicking a woman.
