Indicted former US president #DonaldTrump has claimed his #Republican supporters care more about restricting #transrights than cutting taxes during a speech to the #NorthCarolina #RepublicanParty. During the speech, made at a rally in #Greensboro on Saturday (10 June), Trump said it was “amazing how strongly people feel” about things like “#transgender insanity”, #criticalracetheory and teaching “racial, s3xual or political content” to children. He is currently campaigning to become the #Republicancandidate for the #2024presidentialelection race. #Trump’s comments were met with a standing ovation from the crowd and rapturous applause, as seen in video of the speech shared online by journalist #Aaron Rupar. The anti-trans speech was made two days after he was indicted for his handling of classified documents. After the rapturous reaction from his audience, Donald Trump said he did not get such a response when talking about “cutting #taxes”. “I talk about transgender, everyone goes crazy. Who would have thought? Five years ago, you didn’t know what the hell it was.” He also discussed abortion rights in the US, claiming responsibility for “killing #RoevWade”, and saying US conservatives had shown that #prochoice supporters “were the radicals, not the #prolifers”. His rant continued, spouting misinformation about abortion, claiming pro-choice supporters “were willing to a k!ll a child … even after the child is born”. He added that “radical left lunatics” were trying to interfere with #elections “by using law enforcement”, which was “totally corrupt.” During the speech Trump also targeted #RonDeSantis, who is considered his closest rival for the #Republicannomination at the 2024 US presidential election. He said #DeSantis was “heading south quickly” and had “no personality”.
