Former United States President Donald Trump has slammed transgender athletes competing in female sports, saying it’s ridiculous

Donald Trump disagrees that athletes who are born biologically male should be allowed to compete in women’s sports, calling for it to be barred completely.

The former President spoke exclusively with TV host Piers Morgan where he slammed transgender athletes in female-only sports.

Morgan also asks Trump what is a woman? The former leader fails to answer properly.

“I’m not going to repsond to the question”

Trump backs U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s previous calls for transgender athletes to be banned in female-only sports, claiming they have an advantage.

Transgender athletes controversy

This comes amid a widespread debate about whether trans athletes should compete in female sports.

This includes most recently the participation of American swimmer Lia Thomas and U.K. cyclist Emily Bridges.

Thomas won the 500-yard freestyle race becoming the first transgender athlete to win a Division I national championship.

This sparked a flurry of debates about transgender athletes in female sports and it’s fairness.

A woman is somebody that swims at a certain time and doesn’t get beaten by 38 seconds by somebody that wasn’t even good as a man.”

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
