"Lost his goddamn mind": Trump claims Minnesota is kidnapping kids & forcing them to transition

Donald Trump said that six states can kidnap children from school and forcibly transition them, and that Minnesota was one of those states. This is not true in any state.

Trump, for years, has claimed that schools are forcibly transitioning children, specifically turning cis boys into trans girls. In the past, his claims have been more vague, but at a rally in Bullhead City, Arizona, yesterday, he got very specific, saying that the state of Minnesota – along with five other unnamed states – take children away at school, "mutilate" them, and change their names from Jimmy to Janet.

"Mutilate your children. They want to mutilate, cut your children," Trump told the crowd. "It's unbelievable what they do."

"Six states, I mean, they could do whatever they want, and they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy. And comes back home in three days as Janet," he said as some people in the crowd laughed.

"And they don't even ask you. Most people don't believe that, you know, they think it's, like, an exaggeration. It's not."

"They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. These people are sick. Minnesota is one of those states that can do that."

This is a claim that Trump made repeatedly on the 2024 campaign trail, although he didn't specifically mention Minnesota at the time. LGBTQ Nation ran a fact check of this statement and rated it "False."

The saddest part about this is not that the President of the United States is lying to its citizens. The saddest part is that people will believe him without even questioning whether it is true. No one in government seems to be interested in calling him out or holding him accountable. As a result, our country slips deeper into the swamp.

As he's named a state and told lies about them, isn't that grounds for a lawsuit?

His defense would be that he lies so much no one could possibly believe a word he says.
