"Donald Trump is getting mocked for, according to some people, transparently making up a Democrat who wants "men playing women's sports" in order to dodge a question about the economy. "Can I ask you about the economy?" reporter Norah O'Donnell said in the interview. "These are 99 to 1 issues!" Trump said. "And they don't change! I just watched this morning-" "Mr. President, can I ask you about the economy?" O'Donnell repeated."
""Yeah, just one thing, I watched a show this morning where a very well-known Democrat Congressman was fighting like hell for men playing in women's sports. They don't change." "Who?" O'Donnell asked. Trump didn't even pretend to forget and instead refused to answer, as if he suddenly became too polite to name names. "I don't want to tell you," he said. "You'll be able to check it. Just check your local TV.""
Donald Trump redirected a reporter's question about the economy by alleging he had seen a show where a prominent Democrat fought for men playing in women's sports. The reporter repeatedly pressed on the economy while Trump raised the allegation and declined to name the lawmaker, telling viewers to check local TV. No Democrats in Congress support allowing men to play in women's sports; many Democrats support allowing trans women to participate in sports as their gender. Online observers mocked the unverified claim and noted elected Democrats rarely bring up trans athlete topics in interviews.
