Trump wildly claims hospitals are performing 'reverse surgery' on trans patients 'at my order'

President Donald Trump falsely claimed Friday that American hospitals are performing "reverse surgery" on transgender people because he ordered them to do so.

"In fact, hospitals now are doing reverse surgery at my order," Trump told supporters at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center in South Carolina. "They're doing reverse surgery. Nobody ever heard about it."

Trump made the claim while campaigning for U.S. Sen. Darline Graham ahead of Tuesday's Republican primary runoff against Rep. Ralph Norman.

Adrian Shanker, who served in the Biden administration as deputy assistant secretary for health policy and senior adviser on LGBTQI+ health equity at the Department of Health and Human Services, tells The Advocate that Trump's confusion demonstrates why politicians should not make personal medical decisions.

Spoken by someone who does not understand what is involved in transgender surgery.

Where are they getting the "parts" that were removed and incinerated?

I am shaking my head, not at chump for yet another insane claim, but at the dems for not calling it out and adding it to the burgeoning case to have him declared incompetent! His boldness at making these crazy claims is supported by the lack of accountability to which he is held. If he can constantly get away with this, it is not beyond belief that he could enact orders like this!

Frustrated...

Is he huffing Carbona or something? LMFAO What the hell?????

What are they gonna do? Gimmie testaclees from a cadaver? What a doof.

He's an idiot and he's wrong. 

There is something that prompted him to say this, but it more bad news. 

"The Trump administration has pressured two major hospital systems into agreements involving care for people who want to detransition. Texas Children's Hospital agreed to establish a multidisciplinary "detransition" or "restorative care" clinic, and Cleveland Clinic agreed to provide $2 million worth of services to people who had received gender-affirming treatment before age 19 and later sought to detransition. Those services can include hormones, fertility care, counseling and, when medically appropriate, surgical revision or reconstruction."

Tell me again that we are not in a dictatorship. The number of people who deny this are insane.

He's mad as a bag of badgers.

🤣.Don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. My guess is trump made a statement that is wholly not true. Hugs

It is a dictatorship, or perhaps he sees himself as an emporer.

George Costanza once said "It isn't a lie if you believe it"

He also wants people to be scared of him.
The mid terms are going to be interesting

From an outside view:
Narcissistic.
Sociopathic.
Perhaps also psychopathic.
Pathological liar.
No one is providing any resistance worth mentioning, meaning the press and media and congress.

But elections aren't about outside views and what the typical voter over there thinks and votes is a bit foggy from here.
YMMV.

I know he says that he doesn't drink...but come on. That sounds like a whiskey driven statement.

Oh my God! THANK YOU! You know how many friggin times I use that exact phrase and people respond with: "I don't live in a dictatorship." I scream at them: "Do you live in the United States? If the answer is 'yes', you are in a damn dictatorship!" Yeah, I am LONG past the point of being nice about this, in person. No matter who it is. I've had enough.

I hate to say, "I told you so..."

OK, that's a lie. I don't hate it. I called it a LONG time ago:

Girl, we've been on the same page the entire time. I was saying exactly the same thing at that point. Why do you think this makes me so angry? I knew that we would be in trouble in '91 when George HW Bush talked about the New World Order. People don't understand at all. We're in the endgame and tens of millions of Americans are utterly oblivious.

Nope. It's brain atrophy.

Maybe Kegsbreath was in his head.

I tend to agree with this. Micro strokes or dementia.

Problem is he has installed some very dangerous people in high places and set about destroying democracy. 

It's going to take a lot of work to repair the damage
