Immediately after taking office, the 47th president signed an executive order decreeing that it’s now the “policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.” Trump has also signed executive orders blocking people under the age of 19 from access to gender-affirming care, banning trans women from competing in women’s sports, and forbidding trans people from serving in the military.

Several of these actions, among others, are under some level of federal review. But as judges weigh the legality and scientific accuracy of the orders, the message is loud and clear: the Trump White House thinks there’s something wrong with trans people, and will do anything possible to make their lives more difficult.

All to say, it feels very unlikely that the current president’s vision for Trump Gaza would include provocatively dancing seaside xaddies rocking long beards and midriff-revealing bikinis and skirts.

But here we are, and to that end, the dancing figures’ inclusion in the promotional video raises unfortunate questions.

      It’s because of the Christian support that the GOP is targeting abortion and lgbtq rights.

        Not all Christians are on the far right. There are plenty of caring views and plenty of Christians who are completely liberal.

          Agreed. I’m not saying all are going against their own tenets, but it’s the broad support from the group as a whole that’s empowering these bigoted policies coming from the GOP.
