    Donald Trump’s own presidential campaign has failed to substantiate the former president’s Saturday rally claim about children and schools, according to CNN, which deemed the statement a “lie.”

    Trump recently spoke at a Moms for Liberty event where the former president made an eye-popping claim about transgender kids.

    “The transgender thing is incredible… your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child,” Trump said last week.

    So he’s been lying non stop for decades, but by the time some corporate news operation actually uses the word “lie” he’s already on to insane rantings.

    the claim (FTA):

    “The transgender thing is incredible… your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child,” Trump said last week.

    lets forget all the bullshit surrounding Mom’s For Liberty.

    Only people on the world dumb enough and angry enough and bigoted enough to fall for this rancid filth

    Free surgery? In an american school? Whaaaaat? <- Even a transphobe would have a hard time believing it.

    The claim:

    former president said, “Can you imagine you’re a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much. Go have a good day in school. And your son comes back with a brutal operation. Can you even imagine this?”

    Sounds like Trump’s been hanging out with Alex Jones. Next he’ll start complaining that all school shootings are fake.
