Trump called the new policies unfair and was quoted saying “what coach wants to recruit a young woman if her record could be easily broken by someone who was born a man?… I think it’s crazy. We must protect the integrity of women’s spots.”
While the left still claim Trump is a misogynist, he’s out here fighting for integrity in woman’s athletes.
Action will always speak louder than words!

The Washington Examiner covered Trump’s comments at the CPAC:
President Donald Trump, speaking to an enthusiastic CPAC crowd Sunday, slammed efforts to allow transgender women to compete against biologically female athletes.
“Joe Biden and the Democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women’s sports,” he said to boos, noting that women born female are “incensed” that transgender women are breaking records they previously held.
Trump argued that “women’s sports as we know it will die” if coaches are allowed to recruit biological males, many of whom enjoy physical advantages when competing in women’s sports.
“We must protect the integrity of women’s sports,” the former president concluded.
Business Insider covered the story too:
During his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday, former President Donald Trump said women’s sports will “die” if trans athletes are allowed to compete.
“Joe Biden and the Democrats are even pushing policies that would destroy women sports,” Trump said, apparently in reference to the Equality Act, which seeks to expand protections for the LGBTQ community and was passed in the House last week.
“A lot of new records are being broken in women’s sports — hate to say that ladies — but got a lot of new records that are being shattered.”
While referring to weightlifting, Trump said “every ounce is like a big deal for many years,” as he pretended to lift an invisible bar. “All of a sudden somebody comes along and beats it by a hundred pounds,” he said.
Trump continued: “Young girls and women are incensed that they are now being forced to compete against those who are biological males. It’s not good for women. it’s not good for women’s sports which worked for so long and so hard to get to where they are.”
Biden’s “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation” Executive Order was signed on January 20th.
The Executive Order threatens “to pull federal funding from schools unless they allow transgender women to compete on girls’ sports teams”.
President Trump definitely gained a few more woman supporters for calling out the injustice that is taking place in woman sport’s everywhere.
