The former U.S. president’s remarks are not only factually inaccurate, but dangerous.
During a conversation onstage at a Moms for Liberty event last week, former U.S. President Donald Trump said that “the transgender thing is incredible.”
“Think of it; your kid goes to school, and he comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child," he told the Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice.
First, schools are not providing sex-change operations to students. Even from a purely financial perspective, that seems obvious: Teachers still have to buy their own crayons; schools aren’t shelling out for surgeons. Second, educators are not deciding “what’s going to happen” with students, beyond subjecting them to a pop quiz or an in-school suspension.

Huge problem with this is that his supporters don’t care about truth - they only care about what feels right.
They think children just wake up one day and decide to change their gender - not realizing that it takes years living as your gender, multiple therapists, hormones, and consultations.
Just complete ignorance and apathy.
