“Under the Trump administration, it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” he continued. “Doesn’t sound too complicated, does it?”

“On January 20, the United States will turn the page forever on four long, horrible years of failure, incompetence, national decline, and we will inaugurate a new era of peace, prosperity and national greatness,” Trump declared.
Elsewhere in his speech, Trump also brushed on the topic of the Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine wars. “I will end the war in Ukraine. I will stop the chaos in the Middle East, and I will prevent, I promise, World War III,” he said, adding, “The golden age of America is upon us.”
