'Hand of Providence': 7 top moments in Trump's State of the Union address marking nation's 250th anniversary
5. Trump says ‘These people are crazy’ after Democrats refuse to support bill to ban social transitioning of children without parental consent
Trump introduced Sage Blair, a girl who school officials in Virginia sought to socially transition at the age of 14 back in 2021. School officials declined to share their intentions with Blair’s parents, and a confused Blair ran away from home.
“After she was found in a horrific situation in Maryland, a left-wing judge refused to return Sage to her parents because they did not immediately state that their daughter was their son. Sage was thrown into an all boys’ state home and suffered terribly for a long time.”
After Trump revealed that Blair has seen her gender dysphoria subside and now has a full scholarship to attend Liberty University, the chamber erupted into applause.
“It’s going on all over, numerous states,” Trump lamented, referring to schools socially transitioning children without receiving their parents’ consent. “Surely we can all agree: No state can be allowed to rip children from their parents’ arms and transition them to a new gender against the parents’ will.”
“We must ban it, and we must ban it immediately,” said Trump, expressing disappointment that congressional Democrats refused to stand in support: “These people are crazy, I’m telling you. They’re crazy.”
