Donald Trump made an appearance at a graduation, but he couldn’t help himself from bringing up politics. He has consistently brought up Transgenders in sports, however, this time he pandered directly to his crowd. They certainly seemed to love it.
“I Can’t Get Hit” Donald Trump Mocks Democrats Over Transgender Athletes (Report)
Trump isn’t backing down from his fight against transgender athletes:
Trump appeared to mock transgender athletes during a University of Alabama graduation speech, referring to them as ‘a transitions person.’
Before he took to the stage, Trump was introduced by former Alabama coach Nick Saban.
While at the podium on Thursday night, Trump started off his speech by saying, “You’re the first graduating class of the golden age of America.”
His speech would soon take a different turn as he made sure that the young people knew his stance on transgender athletes.
“As long as I’m president, we will always protect women’s sports. Men will not play in women’s sports,” Donald Trump said.
“No way. They say it’s an 80-20 issue. No, it’s a 97-3 issue, I think. No, men will not be playing in women’s sports. I said that, and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know. It’s done.”
Later in the speech, Trump went back to the subject and mocked the Democrats for allowing trans athletes in women’s sports and the trans athletes themselves in a lengthy rant.
Trump also discussed the Paris Olympics women’s boxing competitions, which caused a lot of controversy. Two gold medalists were previously disqualified from international competitions for failing gender eligibility tests.
Neither Algeria’s Imane Khelif nor Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting identifies as transgender.
“They had a great champion a female boxer, and after one punch she walked back to the corner and said ‘I can’t get hit like that, I’ve never been hit like that before,” Trump said.
Just when you thought he was finished, Trump took aim at transgender swimmers, telling a story of a swimmer who he joked was “windburned” by a trans opponent.
Here is a video of the speech:

“One young lady, she was going to set the record, she fought all her life to set the record,” Trump said.
“Then she looks to the right and she sees the same thing but there’s a person next to her who’s a giant… that was a person that transitioned and he had the wingspan of Wilt’ the stilt’ Chamberlain.”
