"But 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. Who would believe that? We've been talking about we must ban it, and we must ban it immediately."
"Fifteen years ago, if somebody was up here and said that, they'd say, what's wrong with him? But now we have to say it because it's going on all over numerous states without even telling the parents."
"Look, nobody stands up. These people are crazy! I'm telling you, they're crazy. Boy oh boy, we're lucky we have a country with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country."
Trump delivered remarks calling for a ban on gender-affirming surgery for transgender youth, highlighting a detransitioned woman named Michelle as an example of bravery. He expressed concern that such procedures occur in numerous states without parental notification or consent. Trump stated that such practices should be universally opposed and banned immediately. He noted that Republicans in the House chamber applauded his remarks, while pointing out that Democrats did not stand or clap. Trump characterized Democrats as destructive to the country and suggested that Republican leadership has prevented further damage.
