Former President Donald Trump questioned the increasing
acceptance
of
transgender Americans
during his speech at the annual
Moms for Liberty
event on Friday.
He
criticised
transgender women participating in women’s sports and advocated for
restricting access
to gender-affirming healthcare.
The Republican presidential candidate also railed against illegal immigration.
He accused school boards of acting like “dictatorships” and harming students by implementing policies opposed by parents.
“Our country is being poisoned. And your schools and your children are suffering greatly because they’re going into the classrooms and taking disease, and they don’t even speak English,”
Trump
said.
Trump also targeted President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, calling the later as a 'defective person.' He also shared personal stories about his family and career, including his rise to fame as the reality television star of "The Apprentice."
Moms for Liberty, a group with over 130,000 members known for opposing LGBTQ+ discussions and structural racism in K-12 education, gained prominence for its stance against racial equity programs and transgender accommodations in schools, as well as its support for book bans.
The group also backs
Project 2025
, a comprehensive conservative agenda for the next Republican presidency, although Trump has distanced himself from it.
