Transgender men should not compete in women's sports, US President Donald Trump said as he spoke near Allentown focused on economic issues, according to Report.
"Here is a transgender man. That's the term. He was at the bottom of the men's weightlifting list, but now he is a female weightlifter. Look at the weight, I think it was 210 pounds (about 95 kilograms). That's a heavy weight for a woman, but not for a man who can lift it with one hand."
He continued, "He won a medal, and everyone said: what a great thing! Are we crazy? Men should not compete in women's sports," reaffirming his stance from his election campaign and political decisions.
