Like many other MAGA Republicans, President Donald Trump has often attacked Democrats for supporting transgender rights — claiming that their position is “transgender for everybody.” But in some Thursday, March 5 posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump appeared to be “softening” his tone somewhat. And he is drawing scathing criticism from some MAGA culture warriors because of it.
In a morning post, Trump wrote, in all caps, “NO TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PARENTS.” But in a subsequent post, Trump wrote, “NO TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN” and left out the “written approval” part.
