President Donald Trump‘s speech to the GOP lawmakers at the Trump-Kennedy Center on Jan. 6 was nothing less than a bad open-mic routine. But he decided to take it a step further and do physical comedy too. Very cringe one, at that, aimed at trans athletes.
On Jan. 6, inside the newly renamed Trump–Kennedy Center in Washington, Trump turned the House GOP retreat into his stand-up comedy stage. Mid-speech, he launched into an impression of transgender athletes competing in a women’s weightlifting event. In the now-viral video, he is bending, tightening his arms, straining his face, and mimicking exaggerated exertion of weightlifting. To make it worse, he moaned like he just soiled his pants.
