UPI reports former President Trump, running for reelection, has made a key campaign promise concerning what he called the "left-wing gender insanity.".
Former President Donald Trump took aim Tuesday at transgender Americans, vowing that if re-elected he will end gender-affirming medical care for minors, ask Congress to pass legislation directing the U.S. government to only recognize one's birth gender and promote "positive education of the nuclear family" and "the roles of mothers and fathers."
Magically, “the Donald” reminds us of why he seemed a breath of fresh air in 2016. He is the guy who will say the things the rest of us are thinking but have been bullied into not saying because some snowflake's feelings might be hurt. He advocates what we wish were public policy, stuff the swamp will never push.
Most of us think if someone is unhappy with the plumbing they were born with, the problem is between their ears, not between their legs. He is the guy who will say it and act on it, driving society’s neurotics wild.
Historically his very brashness offends a fair number, especially in the legacy media and among the perpetually aggrieved. Many of us experience it as refreshingly direct, realistic and commonsensical. He speaks for society’s non-victims, which is (or should be) most of us.
Trump's forthrightness doesn’t answer the question of whether he would, if reelected, be able to get the federal bureaucracy to act on his wishes. In his first term his mastery of the bureaucracy was spotty at best, and his appointments were often a disappointment.
Those may well be issues where Gov. Ron DeSantis scores better than Trump. And DeSantis has also been outstanding at confronting the woke head-on.
