People disturbed after Trump does ‘embarrassing’ impression of trans athletes that they can’t believe is real

Warning: This article contains discussion of discrimination against the trans community which some readers may find distressing.

The president of the United States gave his impression of how he believes a female weightlifter competes in the sport compared to that of a trans athlete.

Yes, I can't believe I'm having to write this - wait until you see the cringeworthy clip! At this rate, I honestly don't think there is anything that President Donald Trump could do to wean the support from his staunch supporters.

Despite the imitation lasting a short, yet painful, 10 seconds, it was difficult to watch. But the MAGA faithful have gotten behind the nation's 79-year-old leader.

"This is the funniest president we’ve ever had," one user penned on X.

Another wrote: "There is no president nearly as hilarious as Trump. Delivery and timing all excellent. Imagine he put some real work into a bit."

"I gotta say this, his comedic timing is pretty spot-on," a third added.

You'd think the Republican had just released a Netflix stand-up special by those glowing reviews. No, instead he did this:

Unsurprisingly, it garnered dozens (if not hundreds) of messages online, with people asking whether what they saw was real or the work of AI.

However, after realizing that Trump actually did do that while delivering a speech at the House Grand Old Party member retreat, yesterday (January 6), some viewers were less than impressed.

"A man in poorly blended orange makeup making fun of trans people is peak irony," one user wrote on X.

A second added: "You support this clown. It’s embarrassing, that’s why you have to ask if it’s real."

While another posted: "He’s embarrassing and Melania agrees."

Yes, apparently the first lady isn't the biggest fan of her husband's dancing, as Trump conceded that Melania actually described it as 'unpresidential'.

He went on to explain how the Slovenian-born former model 'hates' when he dances, before name dropping Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR).

Trump told the room: "She actually said, 'could you imagine FDR dancing?' - she said that to me. And I said, there's a long history that perhaps she doesn't know because he was an elegant fellow... even as a Democrat, right?

"He was the attack by Japan, you know, he was quite elegant, but he wouldn't be doing this. But nor would too many others."
