Donald Trump's presidential campaign has come under fire for its latest advert attacking Kamala Harris' pro-trans views.

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has come under fire for its latest advert attacking Kamala Harris’ pro-trans views, once again parroting the former commander-in-chief’s claim that the Democratic nominee is funding gender-affirming surgeries for “illegal aliens”.

The advert was posted on Trump’s social media channels on Friday (20 September), repeating his claims that Harris supports taxpayer-funded gender-affirming care for prisoners and undocumented immigrants.

The ad, branded “trans panic” by social media users, ends with the tagline: “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you.”

GLAAD president and chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis responded by telling The Advocate: "This reeks of desperation… [voters have] "repeatedly rejected candidates who target transgender people and have strongly stated that they want extremists out of our doctors’ offices and private lives.

    This from a man that paints his face orange, with a running mate rumored to use eyeliner. Are we sure Trump isn’t trans? This could be more projection.

    I can’t tell if they think transition surgeries are a good thing they want to stop immigrants from getting, or a bad thing being forced on unsuspecting children.

      Well, you see, immigrants are all bad and inherently illegal, and trans people are bad and they are trying to make them illegal. If somehow you started creating mutant trans immigrant hybrids, then the fabric of society would tear like some cheap hosiery worn by a Latino drag queen whilst he chases your children.

    Weird. Trump uses male pronouns, but I see 2 or 3 vaginas on his neck.

        Check 270towin.com, popularity wise he has no chance. Unfortunately we have electoral college and with that he has 50/50 chance currently.

        That’s scarily too close.

        Edit: this is why it is important to make sure you vote. Historically electoral college typically matches popular vote.

        The manipulation is possible when the turnout is low. The gerrymandering also works the best with a low turnout, and if turnout is unexpectedly high it can backfire and turn otherwise red counties into blue. This is why it is important to vote, even in the states you think your vote doesn’t matter.

        What’s ironic is that the non voting population is so high, that if they all turned in and voted they would override everyone else who normally does.

        Do NOT get complacent. He has a very real shot at winning if it is assumed he’s already lost. That’s one of the reasons he got elected the first time.

          Honestly I feel it’s even more likely he’s elected this time. The “Hillary hands down” polls were so much wider than any I’m seeing. Unless polling has gotten considerably more accurate, there are going to be a lot of sad and shocked people out there days after the election.

          I truly hope my feelings are unjustified but the nation is in big fuckin trouble.

        Looking that way. Vote anyway. Let’s see if we can break a record of voter turnout and margin of difference. No more of this stupid late night “still 50%/50% results, too close to call” because everyone thought it was a done deal and they didn’t need to show up. Amazing how when everyone thinks that, there aren’t enough votes…
