President Donald Trump made fun of the Democrats for their continuous support for Trans athletes in female and girls sports during Thursday’s meeting with NATO chief Mark Rutte. Trump even suggested that he hoped that the party continues to push its position on the issue to harm their future electoral prospects.
While criticizing the Democrats for having continued their public arguments to support the inclusion trans, Trump suggested that 95% of Americans opposed it and that the Republicans should capitalize on the position of their opponents on the issue.
“I saw this morning when one of them is fairly known. We argue, fighting like crazy for men playing in female sports. I think it’s a 95%problem, but in a way, I want [Democrats] To continue doing it, because I don’t think they can win a race, “said Trump.
“I say to the Republicans:” Do not bring this subject right now, because there are no elections at the moment. But about a week before the elections, lift it because we cannot lose. “”
Democratic voters abandon the Party after AOC, Jeffries says that the anti-trans-tranity athlete bill responsible for sexual predators
It was the second consecutive day that Trump made fun of the Democrats on the issue, after making similar comments at Wednesday’s meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin.
“Who would allow men to play in female sports? And they still fight, they are still … it must be a 95%problem,” said Trump. “But they are on television this morning, I see this person, a democrat, say:” We should have the right … No, no. Men should not be authorized – they hurt women. They hurt women. Very badly, they hurt women … and they degrade too.
Trump’s assertion that this is a “95%problem” is not supported by data. However, there are data that at least the majority of Americans, including most Democrats, oppose Trans inclusion in female sports.
A New York Times / Ipsos survey I have found that the vast majority of Americans, including the majority of Democrats, do not think that transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in female sports, because 79% of participants said that biological men who identify as women should not be authorized in female sports. Among the participants who identified as democrats, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
According to a Gallup poll Last year, almost 70% of Americans said that organic men should not be allowed to compete in female sports.
Additional data suggests that the question affected voters’ decisions during the November elections.
How transgender in sports changed the 2024 elections and sparked a national counterculture
A National exit survey Directed by the Legislative Action Committee for women concerned for women for America revealed that 70% of moderate voters saw the question of “Donald Trump’s opposition to boys and transgender men playing sports for girls and women and transgender boys and men using bathrooms and women” as important for them.
In addition, 6% said it was everyone’s most important problem, while 44% said it was “very important”.
Trump took advantage of the problem and took a firm position in the ban on trans athletes in female and girls sports as a key campaign problem in 2024. His campaign announcement that featured the slogan “Kamala is for them / them, Donald Trump is for you” was greeted as the most effective announcement of the elections.
Trump held his campaign promise to deliver a ban when he signed the decree of the execution of female sports “to keep men in women’s sport.
In response, Trump’s administration launched an investigation against four of these states – California, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Maine – on the potential violations of title IX for their continuous challenge of the order.
Trump’s Ministry of Health and Social Services has already determined that Maine has violated title IX, while the Ministry of Agriculture has already reduced millions of funds in eight universities in Maine.
The congress controlled by the Republicans tried to create a stricter precedent to apply a national trans-athlete prohibition in female sports with the protection of women and girls in sport, but it was compulsory in the Senate after receiving any support from democrats.
Conservative activist Riley Gaines promised to help Trump to use the strategy of using the question against the Democrats who blocked the bill, because she said that she will work to help dislodge all the Democrats who voted against the bill in 2026 in mid-term and in 2028.
