Do not believe this is an achilles heel. Trump needs to make his position clear, That’s it.

She and her lawyer at the time, Gloria Allred, called on the Miss Universe organization to nix the rule that mandated contestants be “naturally born” females.

But by then, pageant organizers already reversed course, allowing Talackova to compete at the behest of Trump, who was president and owner of the Miss Universe pageant, Reuters reported.

“As long as she meets the standards of legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, which we understand that she does, Jenna Talackova is free to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant,” Michael Cohen, then-special counsel to Trump and executive vice president of his business group, said at the time.

“Nobody is capitulating. Rather the Miss Universe organization is respecting the laws of Canada,” Cohen told Reuters, adding that she, “like all the other contestants, is wished the best of luck by Mr. Trump.”

Not quite as cut & dry as DeSantis is making it out to be. Perhaps he should go to Canada and try to do something there that breaks the laws there, since he is such a big talker.

But thanks for the link, because at least now we have far more information as to the circumstances surrounding the issue.

DeSantis will never get my vote for sure, in any future attempts he may try to become this nation's leader. Because he is a deceitful person.

Trump had enough sense to see that under Canadian law he would look l;okle an ogre in court.

I don’t see in any of his statements that he was enthused with the idea. Accepting the inevitable does not denote enthusiasm.
