Kim Kardashian does not think for a moment that becoming a mother should stop a woman from being sexy. According to the mother of two in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, some people may not deem it appropriate but she’s generally at peace with being sexy. SEE: Kim Kardashian flaunts cleavage in sheer bra ‘At the end of the day I still have to be me. If doing sexy shoots makes me feel confident, then I’m okay with it,’ she said. Kim continued, ‘That might not be appropriate for some people, and there’s a time and a place. There’s certain things I’ll show my kids and certain things I won’t show my kids. ‘But generally I am okay with it. In moderation. More power to the moms that look really good, work really hard, do what they can so that they still feel sexy, still feel good about themselves, ‘I don’t think for a second that because you become a mom you can’t be sexy any more.’

Reality TV star, Kim Kardashian has subtly stated her dislike for US president, Donald Trump, whom she said should not be in the White House. According to Kim, anyone could run America better than The Donald currently is; going as far to saying even her daughter, North, would make a better president. 'Anyone can run the US better. My daughter would be better,' Kim said when asked who she felt should be in the White House. She went on to say, 'Every single day when you can’t really believe what’s going on, the next day it’s something else even more crazy and tragic. 'It’s really scary, the world that we’re living in now. And when you did feel safe at home, now with Trump in presidency you just don’t feel safe any more.' But that wasn't the best part. She added, 'I don’t even follow Trump on Twitter, but I follow Obama though.'
