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.”
Never said such a thing. I can dislike our Liberal PM without being a con idiot. This is not a what about moment but lots of my fellow countrymen choose to make it so. Very murica of you all. Guess we’ll get fascism too while you all judge.
You’re so angry.
… And I’m not sure I follow your point.
People are making it a what?
How did you take the leap from Carney not standing up to Trump about trans people to straight up fascism?
I’m more confused than anything.
Don’t let your tankies moralize Canada into the ground. You guys are in a position to NOT become like us. The US is currently fucked and your own Alberta MAGA is gaining head way. Do whatever is necessary to prevent Canadian conservatives from power. Even if your Liberals are garbage.
