Trump explains trans sports controversy to Saudi investors who he says 'don't do a lot of transitioning'

President Donald Trump at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, said people from Saudi Arabia think Americans are "crazy" for advocating for transgender athletes in women's sports.

At the forum, hosted at the Kennedy Center, Trump described being shocked watching a congressman fighting for biological men playing in women's sports, explaining a situation where a biological man broke a women's weightlifting record.

"The man was 119 pounds higher than a woman champion, who was a phenomenal champion," Trump said. "Beat her by 119, and he was an average lifter prior to transitioning. A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, ‘What the hell is he talking about — transitioning?'"

He went on to say, unlike the U.S., the Saudis "don't do a lot of transitioning."

"The Saudis are saying, ‘What is he talking about?’" Trump said. "They're saying, 'What do you mean women are playing against men? No, that doesn't happen, does it?' Yeah, it does. These people are crazy."

A group of 130 congressional Democrats recently filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court urging justices to rule in favor of Becky Pepper-Jackson, a trans teen from West Virginia who successfully challenged a state law barring biological males from competing in girls' sports, and Lindsay Hecox, who successfully challenged an Idaho law to compete on Boise State's women's cross-country team.

The Saudis have their own forms of public insanity.

Arrrrrgh! Curse you, Babylon Bee! You got me again! Just like yesterday when you reported that Trump grabbed the The Crown Prince’s hand and said, “I don’t care where that hand’s been. I’m going to shake it. “

The country where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers came from if ever there was public insanity.

The Chinese terms for “American left-wing social warriors” are derogatory and often translate to “white left” or “leftist elite.” A common term is “baizuo” (白左), which literally means “white left” and is used to describe Western liberals and leftists. In Hong Kong, the term “zo gaau” (左膠) is used, which literally means “left dumbass” or “leftard”.

Alex, learn to write at the most basic level. That’s what you get paid to do.

There is no need to write “biological man”. Just write “man”. Or, “men in women’s sports”. Always write simply and directly, clearly and succinctly.

Or put another way, why wouldn’t you also specify “biological women’s sports” or “biological women weightlifter’s in this piece? Makes no sense.

So 130 rats filed a brief to allow the creeps into women’s sports and the sick and invasive crap that goes with it. You just don’t hate these people enough.

Trump has a great sense of humor. People forget that.

Trump: “so there it is in a nutshell. Pardon the pun.”

Saudi: “In our country if you steal we cut off your hand.

“If you want to change from male to female we can do that too. We chop it off. We good at choppin’.”
