Former US president Donald Trump made some harsh remarks on the contentious practice of allowing transwomen to participate in women's sports during theTurning Point USA's Student Action Summit in Tampa on Saturday, July 23. During his speech, Trump suggested that if he were a womens basketball coach, he would ask LeBron James to transition to a woman and become a star player on his team. Trump said, Id be the greatest womens basketball coach in history. I dont like LeBron James, I like Michael Jordan much better. But, Id go up to LeBron James. Id say, LeBron, did you ever have any desire to be a woman? Because what Id love for you to do is star on my team that Im building up. I will have the greatest team in history. They will never lose. Nobody will come within 70 points of this team.
While the comparison also highlights Trump's stance in the LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan argument, his true intention was to indicate that he supported a move that would forbid trans women from participating in women's athletics. We have to change that. And we have to make it OK to talk about it, Trump added. Earlier, Donald Trump highlighted a swimming event where a person with a mans body competed and won the womens competition comfortably.

According to the Daily Mail, he also joked how the female athlete competing in the same competition got injured when the contestant with male body swam by her. He also talked about weightlifting where a similar thing happened, and a contestant with a male body broke records in a womens competition. Trump said at the time, It is actually demeaning to women, and it should not be allowed. People do not like to talk about it. People think it is politically incorrect, I dont. Somebody has to do it.

Lia Thomas, a swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, made history earlier this year when she became the first transgender athlete to take home a Division I national title. Thomas claims that she became a transwoman not to get a competitive edge but because it made her 'happy'. Thomas said in an interview with ABC and ESPN, The biggest misconception, I think, is the reason I transitioned. People will say, Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage, so she could win. I transitioned to be happy, to be true to myself.

Meanwhile, the 'woke agenda' has been brought up by Trump at many of his recent rallies. On June 26, during a rally in Mendon, Illinois, We will get critical race theory out of our schools, out of our military, and out of every part of our federal, state, and local governments. They say it is politically incorrect but lets say it anyway. We will also keep men out of womens sports. Is that okay?He stated during his Texas Rally in February 2022 that if reelected, he will ban men from participating in women's sports. He referred to it as absurd and declared, We will ban men from participating in womens sports.
