In the most 2018 incident yet, Kim Kardashian headed to the White House to talk prison reform with President Donald Trump.
The 37-year-old reality star met POTUS to advocate for a pardon for Alice Marie Johnson, who is serving a life sentence for a low-level drug offence.
Whatever your thoughts about the Kardashians, it’s pretty cool of Kim to attempt to help those mistreated in the prison system – with great-grandmother Johnson already having served 20 years in prison for a non-violent drug trafficking charge.
But certain people and publications didn’t seem to register this – instead focusing on her bum.
Today’s New York Post front cover has attracted quite a bit of criticism, after it headlined a picture of Kim and Trump in the Oval Office ‘Trump Meets Rump’.
Because even when involved in politics, women are reduced to their curves. Go figure. Other offensive taglines on the front page read ‘the other big ass summit’ and ‘Kim Thong Un pitches prez on prison reform’.
Ah yes, ‘Kim Thong Un’, because she’s a woman who wears underwear.
ROFL. Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of people taking to Twitter to hit out at the Post for their headline choices:

The New York Post is pathetic.— Kevin Drew (@UndergroundPixl) May 31, 2018
Kim Thong Un?
Don't pretend to support women or #MeToo when you can't give @KimKardashian, who was at the White House to fight for prison reform, common decency.@nypost should be ashamed of themselves.
This is so disrespectful! Where are the woman activist, feminist and metoo movement ? @newyorkpost should know that this is misogynistic, shaming @KimKardashian because she is woman that’s wants to make a change. Well y’all had nice headlines for Stormy Daniels I wonder why. pic.twitter.com/LNFLQMeGAr— Terrence K. Williams (@w_terrence) May 31, 2018
Love to see #NewYorkPost be shut down for explicit bias. That cover of Kim K was downright disrespectful. Is it because she's a woman actually trying to do the right and good thing? Rather than talk about it?— X (@LilBubly) May 31, 2018

The New York Post is evil. They referred to @KimKardashian as Kim Thong Un.If you guys don't believe me either Google it or go to the newsstand at 7 a.m. #sexist— Raven R.🌱 (@raven_wingtips) May 31, 2018
This is misogynistic and disgusting. I'm glad Kim is using her power to make change. Fuck this headline and fuck the New York Post.— CAY💫 (@babyvolk) May 31, 2018
One person wrote: ‘Hey men who wrote this cover page @newyorkpost, fuck you. @KimKardashian, sorry woman.’
And another tweet read: ‘Love to see #NewYorkPost be shut down for explicit bias. That cover of Kim K was downright disrespectful. Is it because she’s a woman actually trying to do the right and good thing? Rather than talk about it?’
However, there were many others who found the puns hilarious, and congratulated the Post on the front page.
Following the announcement that Kim was visiting the White House, social media was abuzz with shock that the mum-of-three knew her stuff about prison reform – because apparently knowledge of politics and the legal system and reality TV do not align.
You know, despite the current president being a former host of The Apprentice. After her meeting with Trump, Kim said: ‘I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon.
It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.
‘We are optimistic about Ms. Johnson’s future and hopeful that she – and so many like her – will get a second chance at life.’
