The Trump campaign has rolled out a steady barrage of hate and fear against two groups: migrants and trans-sexual people. Hate, hate, hate!
But! The New York Times reported that the Trump administration offered gender-affirming care to prisoners. Shocking.
A campaign ad released by former President Donald J. Trump in battleground states slams Vice President Harris for supporting taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries for prisoners and migrants, concluding: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”
But the Trump administration’s record on providing services for transgender people in the sprawling federal prison system, which houses thousands of undocumented immigrants awaiting trial or deportation, is more nuanced than the 30-second spot suggests.
Trump appointees at the Bureau of Prisons, a division of the Justice Department, provided an array of gender-affirming treatments, including hormone therapy, for a small group of inmates who requested it during Mr. Trump’s four years in office.
In a February 2018 budget memo to Congress, bureau officials wrote that under federal law, they were obligated to pay for a prisoner’s “surgery” if it was deemed medically necessary. Still, legal wrangling delayed the first such operation until 2022, long after Mr. Trump left office.
“Transgender offenders may require individual counseling and emotional support,” officials wrote. “Medical care may include pharmaceutical interventions (e.g., cross-gender hormone therapy), hair removal and surgery (if individualized assessment indicates surgical intervention is applicable).”

The Hate & Fear rhetoric is strategically used to mask the amount of MONEY that is being made OFF of these two populations. Lucrative Corporate Internment Camps Contracts on the bodies of the migrants. And every manner of medical/pharmaceutical profit off the bodies of gender-affirming procedures. DJT & Friends make Big Bucks off these people while encouraging violence against their very existence.

Yes, good points. It surely could have been that, since he’s driven by $$$$$ and can never get enough of it.
Or maybe his right hand didn’t know what his left hand was doing because he’s a dimwit and lost his mind sooner than many noticed. (Can’t fathom the possibility that he actually cared when we never saw him demonstrate compassion for those people.)

The Harris team needs to take advantage of this nugget. Suggestion: start the commercial the same way and then 3-5 seconds in, switch to “OOPS, we meant to say the TRUMP administration approved this in 2018, we’re sorry. Not really.” Or the Lincoln Projectl
