I have to admit, I was shocked when I first saw this clip.
There’s been a lot of talk about Trump’s recent interview on SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show,” but his answer to what may have been one of the most important questions was so horrifying awful, I can’t even wrap my head around it.
During the interview, Megyn Kelly asked Trump a very simple question: “Can a man become a woman?”
Easy, right? The answer is “No, absolutely not.” It’s not complex or complicated. There’s no room for nuance, different points of view, or interpretation. A man cannot become a woman. A woman cannot become a man. There’s no gender spectrum, nor are there more than two genders.
Yet, in response to the easy question, Trump first replied with an “Ummmmmm,” then a chuckle, before saying, “In my opinion, you have a man, you have a woman. I think part of it is birth. Can the man give birth? No, although they’ll come up with some answer to that also someday. I heard just the other day they have a way that now the man can give birth. No, I would say I’ll continue my stance on that.”
What kind of an answer is that? Look, the sad reality is that there is no middle ground on this issue. Trump may be strongly against the mutilation of children by the transgender cult, but it feels like Trump is trying to have it both ways on this transgender nonsense, and you just can’t.
Sure, he banned transgender people in the military and is against giving children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones and such, but at the root of this issue isn’t merely whether or not a kid has the mental capacity to consent to transitioning,

The trans issue is a mental health issue. It doesn’t really get more complicated than that until they started mutilating people, especially kids, to placate their mental issue rather than deal with the root cause of this form of mental impairment.
Some men are effeminate. Some are really girly but they will never be a female. You know, that whole science thing gets in the way of that. Some women are butch. So what. Deal with it ladies. Be gay or own your tom boy status or both.
Expecting the general population to go along with this mental issue known as gender dysphoria is what is truly insane.
On the whole I prefer not talking with idiots, especially on the record, but Trump is not averse, which may be why he is successful in many ways.
He would sound better if he wasn’t talking with idiots on their ground, but that is the way of the world.
He could do better if he could find better people, but I don’t think he is overlooking a huge pool of willing talent of a much greater calibre.
I’d probably rather have the author as a teacher than Trump, but teachers do need to remember to climb out of ivory towers every now and again.
Because the lefties that listen to that drivel won't get far enough to hear themselves being called crazy.
because they are.
The man said NO and yet he’s being attacked as if he said YES. Self immolation on the right likely championed by DeSantis bots
He said “no” to anybody who was listening.
Next.
The root of the response was such that it wouldn’t necessarily alienate any possible voters with different ideals. If he said flat out no then those potential votes are gone, if he said flat out yes, we’ll he’d be done as a viable candidate.
If I or anyone else were running, we would produce a similar word salad.
Yes, it would have been far better if he could have stated that men are men and women are women and you can't change your chromosomes, but that's also exactly what they wanted him to do.
Now is not the time to fight that battle.
“Sure, he banned transgender people in the military”
And don’t forget that Vivek said he would change that policy and us taxpayers would have to pay for the ‘transition’ when this is not possible in the real world.
RE: Are you saying that’s what Trump is doing?
Whether he’s aware of it or not, by using the wrong pronoun for guys like Bruce Jenner, that’s the end result.
Trump said No. And he emphasized the No by giving a reason for the No: men can’t give birth.
I am now a one issue voter.
Who will restore the republic.
I do NOT care about anything else.
Because if we don’t restore the republic, none of the rest of it is gonna matter.
Fooled you.
Folks, take a clue from our Founding Fathers.
The republic comes first.
We can sort out the rest later.
Why don’t you “seek and find” a clue.
Why don’t you follow your own advise?
RE: Well that’s it then, I am not voting for Trump. /sarcasm
You don’t have to tell me who you Will or will not vote for. It’s your decision.
Why don't you Trump ankle biters go away.
Clearly you posted this to trash Trump and influence an anti Trump sentiment.
Why don’t you guys who think Trump is perfect go away?
