Donald Trump has made yet another groundbreaking discovery: everything is transgender. Yes, everything. The birds? Trans. The Eiffel Tower? Definitely non-binary. Even your morning espresso? Probably questioning.
During a meeting with Irish prime minister Micheál Martin on March 12, Trump declared to journalists: “Everything is transgender. Everybody transgender. That is all you hear about and that is why we won the election in record numbers.” Of course, because what really swung the vote wasn’t the economy or global crises, but a worldwide trans takeover.
He then claimed that the mere existence of trans people is “demeaning” to women—classic Trump feminism—before suggesting that Democrats should just forget about all this and focus on tax policies instead. A bold request from someone who’s spent his second presidency rolling back trans rights, banning gender-affirming care, and erasing diversity programs.
Naturally, the internet responded. “Less than 1% of the population is now ‘everybody’… got it,” one person noted. Another added: “Republicans talk about trans people 10 times more than normal Americans.” Almost like a weird obsession…
Meanwhile, here in Europe, we’re still trying to understand why a country that calls itself “the land of the free” is so terrified of people living their truth.
