President Donald Trump made fun of the Democrats for his continuous support for Trans athletes in women’s and female sports during Thursday’s meeting with NATO leader Mark Rutte. Trump even suggested that he expects the party to continue pressing his position on the subject to damage his future electoral perspectives.
While criticizing the Democrats for continuing their public arguments to support trans inclusion, Trump suggested that 95% of Americans oppose, and that Republicans should capitalize on the position of their opponents on the subject.
“I saw this morning where one of them is quite known. One is arguing, fighting as crazy for the men who play in women’s sports. I think it is a 95%problem, but in a way, I want [Democrats] To continue doing it, because I don’t think they can win a race, “Trump said.
“I tell the Republicans: ‘Do not mention that issue at this time, because there are no elections at this time. But approximately one week before the elections, mention, because we cannot lose.”

It was the second consecutive day that Trump made fun of the Democrats on the subject, after making similar comments during Wednesday’s meeting with the Prime Minister of Ireland, Micheál Martin.
“Who would allow men to play in women’s sports? And they are still fighting him, they are still … it has to be a 95%problem,” Trump said. “But they are on television this morning, I see this person, a Democrat, say: ‘We should have the right … no, no. They should not be allowed to men: they are hurting women. They are hurting women. Very seriously, they are hurting women … and they are also degrading women. But, but who would want these things? Everything is transgender. All transgender. We won the number of records in the record. “
Trump’s statement that is a “95%problem” is not backed by data. However, there are data that at least most Americans, including most Democrats, oppose trans inclusion in women’s sports.
TO New York Times/Ipsos Survey He discovered that the vast majority of Americans, including most Democrats, do not believe that transgender athletes are allowed to compete in women’s sports, since 79% of participants said that biological men who identify as women should not afford in women’s sports. Of the participants who identified as Democrats, 67% said that transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete with women.
According to a Gallup poll Last year, almost 70% of Americans said that biological men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Additional data suggest that the problem affected voters decisions in the November elections.

TO national output survey Made by the Legislative Women’s Action Committee for Women for America, it found that 70% of moderate voters saw the issue of “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender children and men who interpret sports of girls and women and women and transgender men and men who use girls and women’s baths” as is important for them.
In addition, 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”
Trump took advantage of the problem and adopted a firm posture by prohibiting trans athletes in women and girls as a key problem of the campaign in 2024. His campaign announcement presented by the slogan “Kamala is for them/they, Donald Trump is for you” was acclaimed as the most effective announcement of the choice.
Trump did good in his campaign promised to issue a prohibition when he signed the executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” on February 5. However, many states administered by the Democrats have challenged the order and are still allowing trans athletes to compete with women.
In response, the Trump administration has launched an investigation against four of those states, California, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Maine, for possible violations of Title IX for its continuous challenge to the order.
The Trump Department of Health and Human Services has already determined that Maine has violated title IX, while the Department of Agriculture has already reduced millions of funds to eight Maine universities.
The Congress controlled by Republicans tried to establish a stricter precedent to enforce a national prohibition of trans-matters in women’s sports with the Law on the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports, but is filibust in the Senate after it did not receive support from the Democrats.
The conservative activist Riley Gaines has promised to help Trump use the strategy of using the problem against the Democrats who blocked the bill, since he has said that he will work to help disregard all the Democrats who voted against the bill in the 2026 parcies and 2028 elections.
