President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.

The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”

      Two panel meme. The first is a picture of a woman kayaking in a beautiful azure river surrounded by a forest and a towering mountain, labeled "Cuando visitas Canadá" (When you visit Canada). The second is a picture of an open-air mine, with a stereotypical rich Brit clipart at the bottom, labeled "Cuando Canadá te visita" (When Canada visits you).
