Trump’s Transgender Mice Gaffe: Ignorance or Deliberate Deception?
During his address to Congress, President Trump highlighted the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) budget cuts, specifically citing $8 million allegedly spent on “making mice transgender” and $40 million for “improving the social and economic inclusion of sedentary migrants.” He lauded Elon Musk’s leadership of DOGE while simultaneously imposing surprise 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada, sparking trade war concerns. The speech was punctuated by Rep. Al Green’s expulsion for protesting Medicaid cuts and contrasting statements on law and order alongside pardons for January 6th rioters, including those who assaulted police officers. Democrats repeatedly interrupted with chants of “January 6th.”
