It's not believable because it is a lie
Trump: "Transgender for everyone! Bring your kids in, we're gonna change the sex of your child. Just send them our way. In some cases, like in Minnesota, they don't even tell the parents. Nobody believes it when I say it. They operate on the kid, they don't tell the parents. It's not believable."

The Republican lawmakers who are listening to this know Trump is lying. They approve of him lying because they think it helps keep them in power so they can stuff more money in their pockets.

Not coincidentally, the states losing federal money are among the few that guarantee families more than the most inhumane level of cash assistance.

Blue states should withhold federal taxes
“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.”

The changes are a “systematic attempt” by health officials “to erode public confidence in childhood vaccines,” said @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social. “Their longer range goal is to make vaccines unavailable by making impossible demands on the vaccine producers” www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Here is the Trump Doctrine, as articulated by Stephen Miller in his truly frightening interview with Jake Tapper this afternoon. It is very much like the doctrine of the dictators we fought and defeated in World War II and of Putin today. It is un-American at its very core.
