When it comes to transgender athletes competing in women’s sports Donald Trump plans to ‘just ban it.’
The ex-president got a question from the crowd on the topic of transgender individuals in sports during a Fox New town hall on ‘The Faulkner Focus’ Wednesday afternoon.
During the event Trump was asked by a woman in the all-female town hall audience what he would do ‘about the transgender issue in women’s sports.’
Trump smiled and shot back, ‘It’s such an easy question.’
Donald Trump told a woman during a Fox News town hall Wednesday that his plan to deal with the ‘transgender issue in women’s sports’ is to ‘just ban it’
‘Everybody in the room and you know that answer, we’re not going to let it happen,’ the ex-president responded.
‘Just yesterday they had a volleyball match, did you see that? Where a person that transitioned, we have to be very careful because this can terminate your political career if you say it slightly off, but transitioned from man to female.’
The former president was seemingly referencing Blaire Fleming, a San Jose Sate University (SJSU) volleyball player.
Fleming, a redshirt senior, has been cited as the reason four schools have forfeited matches against SJSU so far this season because of safety concerns.
Most recently they went viral for spiking a ball and hitting another player forcefully in the face. Even the broadcaster noted the woman’s pink face after she was hit.
‘And I saw the slam,’ Trump told the crowd of women. ‘I never saw a ball hit so hard, hit the girl on the head.’

His reasoning was that it is within a president’s authority to ban transgender individuals from playing organized sports with women
‘Other people even in volleyball they’ve been permanently, hurt really badly,’ he continues.
‘We absolutely stop it. You can’t have it. It’s a man playing in the game.’
The the Faulkner hops in and presses the former commander-in-chief.
‘So how do you stop it? Do you got to the sports leagues? Go to the Olympic counsel?’ the Fox News host inquires.
‘You jut ban it. The president bans it, you just don’t let it happen,’ Trump quickly responds.

The crowd of women erupted in praise for the ex-president’s policy proposal.
Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday was also asked about her stance on transgenderism.
Fox News host Bret Baier inquired about whether Harris supports taxpayer-funded sex surgeries for trans inmates and illegal immigrants during his highly-anticipated interview with the candidate.
‘Every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access,’ Harris is seen saying in 2019 that has been repurposed by the Trump campaign into an ad attacking the Democrat. Baier asked her if she still holds the same beliefs.
‘So are you still in support of using taxpayer dollars to help prison inmates or detained illegal aliens to transition to another gender?’ Baier asked.
Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris sat for a one-on-one interview with Fox News anchor Bret Baier Wednesday. During the interview she was pressed about her stance on taxpayer-funded sex surgeries for migrants and inmates, to which she opaquely says she would ‘follow the law’
Harris answered without saying what she personally believes: ‘I will follow the law.’
Then she launched into an attack against Trump without clarifying her stance.
