President Donald Trump blasted Democrats and the gender transition industry Tuesday night during his State of the Union speech.
“Surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents’ arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will. Who can believe that we’re even talking about it? We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately,” Trump said in a video posted to X.
Trump then glared at Democratic lawmakers who refused to applaud protecting children.
TRUMP: “Surely we can all agree no state can be allowed to rip children from their parents arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents will.”
*Democrats stay seated*
