US President Donald Trump refers to Chelsea Manning as "he."
Such disrespect. SAD!
Would you expect anything different?
No matter how he feels he needs to satisfy his base - and to many of them there is no such thing as a transgender person. XX and XY are the only things that matter. The right wingers I've debated with online cannot be persuaded to change their understanding by any argument or fact
They have to believe that gender and sex are one and the same. It's a matter of religious faith, literally.
We're running out of places to nail him to his cross...

Not really. But what strikes me is that it is SO petty. After he pardoned Sheriff Arpaio a lot of conservative people compared his pardon to hers and so she tweeted "Why do people keep comparing me to some crooked sheriff?" I think that got under his skin and he has a habit of, as he always says, "Anybody Who Hits Me, I'm Gonna Hit 10 Times Harder." But the pettiness of the malicious misgendering is, I think, quite frankly, SAD!
Trump cares about two things: money and power. Anything that will get him more of either of those two things, are going to strongly influence what he says and does.
I agree with Lady Sarah. Trump is at his core a soul-less panderer. He just as easily have used Chelsea as his hero if it served his purposes. And those purposes always are about making him the greatest and bolstering his very leaky ego.
Just wait until the heat really cranks up on his grossly illegal acts that Robert Mueller is looking into. He will throw everyone including his kids under the bus and not blink an eye and it will be completely justified in his tiny little mind. Unfortunately, for him he is the ultimate target of the investigation. Wont be able to deflect his guilt to others. About time.
Locked.
Bashing as usual.
