Donald Trump was criticized for his ironic comments about transgender athletes, made during a speech at the Kennedy Center.

The President of the USA, Donald Trump, generated a wave of criticism after he mocked transgender athletes in a speech delivered in front of Republican members of the House of Representatives at the Kennedy Center. During the presentation, Trump imitated a weightlifter, suggesting that she competes against a transgender athlete, using exaggerated expressions.

He also mentioned that his wife does not approve of such gestures, but he continued to make them. His gesture was applauded by some Republican figures, but it sparked negative reactions from online users, who accused him of mocking transgender individuals. This is not the first time Trump addresses the subject, having had similar reactions in the past.

Furthermore, he signed a decree that prohibits transgender women from participating in women's sports competitions in institutions that receive federal funding, a measure appreciated by Republicans but criticized by human rights organizations.
