Trump isn’t going to hold back in his second term. He’s going to try and get as much accomplished as possible for the benefit of the country.
And Donald Trump’s plan to destroy this radical Leftist agenda has Democrats on their heels.
President-Elect Trump Promises To Stop Transgeder Ideology
President-elect Donald Trump has declared his intention to put an end to what he described as “transgender lunacy” and establish a government policy recognizing only two genders: male and female.
“With the stroke of my pen on day one, we’re going to stop the transgender lunacy,” Trump announced to a crowd of supporters during AmericaFest 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday.
The statement, captured in a video shared by C-Span, was met with enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
“I will sign executive orders to end child s*xual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools,” Trump declared, pledging to reverse policies that allow gender-affirming care and inclusion in education.
“Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” he continued, promising to “keep men out of women’s sports.” He also added, “Doesn’t sound too complicated, does it?”

Trump’s remarks came just days after the Senate approved the Pentagon’s $895 billion annual budget, which includes provisions that eliminate coverage for transgender medical treatments for military service members’ children.
The Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in an 85-14 vote on Wednesday, sending the measure to President Biden for his signature.
The bill, which authorizes defense spending and specifies expenditures, is traditionally passed with bipartisan support. This year’s version was delayed by two months and represents a roughly 1% increase over the previous year’s budget.
Republicans included a provision in the NDAA that bars the military’s healthcare program, Tricare, from covering “gender transition” treatments for dependents under the age of 18.
The inclusion of this measure sparked opposition from Democrats, with 21 Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), voting against it.
Baldwin argued the provision would negatively affect thousands of children, estimating it could impact between 6,000 and 7,000 dependents of service members.
According to the Modern Military Association of America, an estimated 10,000 transgender youth aged 6 to 22 have parents serving in the military.
The policy changes outlined in the NDAA mark a contentious shift, as Democrats voiced their disapproval of restricting access to gender-affirming care for military families.
Meanwhile, Trump’s comments suggest that he and his administration won’t cave in to the radical Left’s push of the harmful transgender ideology onto Americans.
