The president of the United States claimed that Democrats want to turn everyone transgender "if they're not feeling well," while he ranted at a recent speech that was ostensibly about the economy.
"I think 'transgender for all' is a great, great thing for the Democrats to be talking about," he said during a speech at the Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, casino yesterday. The speech was billed as a chance for Trump to "reclaim the economic narrative," according to The Guardian.
"Transgender for every member of your family. If they're not feeling well that night, let's just change their sex," he said, getting the crowd to laugh. "Let's not talk about it. Let 'em go and let 'em fight, fight, fight just to get these things."
While Trump claimed that Democrats won't stop talking about transgender issues, that's far from the truth. Trump made trans people's rights the centerpiece of his 2024 campaign, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on anti-trans ads, while Kamala Harris' campaign stayed fairly silent on trans rights.
In reality, liberals see trans people as a discrete, historically oppressed minority in need of the protection of the law. Expanding or restricting transgender people's rights won't change the number of transgender people; it will just change whether they feel safe in living their lives authentically, according to the liberal worldview. Trump's argument appears to be that the fact that Democrats want to make transitioning easier for some people means that they want everyone to do it.

He knows it fires up the people he most wants to appeal to. He's not crazy. Or if he is, he is in the same way someone like Nigel Farage is in the UK (one of his best buddies, as it goes). When you're going for the right wing, hate everything different, our land for people born here crowd, then... stuff like this is their bread and butter. They lap it up.
Doesn't matter how accurate it is. How much common sense it makes. It only matters how much it gets the people you want to agree with you... to agree with you. It's social media without the media. Probably anyone with a modicum of common sense looks at this and shakes their head. His fanbase though will be ecstatic. That's how populism works. Tell the people you think matter exactly what you think they want to hear. No matter how insane it sounds. It won him two terms.
You have to remember this is the guy who would have you believe that immigrants had an appetite for household pets and that people with covid should inject themselves with bleach. An ocean of salt just isn't enough to take with good ol' Don. Thankfully he won't be in office too much longer.
