A clip of President Donald Trump grunting and groaning through his well-worn impression of a transgender weightlifter went viral on Friday after he delivered the routine mid-speech at a campaign-style rally in New York.
The moment came during a 'Fighting For American Workers' event at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York, on 22 May 2026, ostensibly organised around the economy but which saw Trump veer into familiar territory, including transgender athletes in women's sports, voter identification, crime, and what he has taken to calling 'Dumocrats.'
