President Donald Trump spoke out about the U.S. Supreme Court cases over trans athletes in women’s sports, calling out the justice who he believed appeared to be “fighting” to keep “men playing in women’s sports.” Trump told reporters at a White House press conference Tuesday that he believes the justices who appeared to be on the side of the trans athlete plaintiffs should “lose a lot of credibility.””Big Supreme Court case. I mean, I can’t believe it. Some of the justices were fighting hard for men to be able to play in women’s sports. A couple of them, I can’t imagine it. But I think anybody that rules that way should lose a lot of credibility. But we banned men from playing in women’s sports,” Trump said.

It’s very demeaning to women.”Trump earlier called out the justices and former President Joe Biden’s administration for its stance in supporting trans athletes in women’s sports. “The past administration, they had no clue or they were really bad, but they basically had no clue. But they did have, a concept. I mean, they’re still trying to sell the idea of men playing in women’s sports. You saw that in the Supreme Court. I mean, some of those justices were fighting for them, too,” Trump said. “They were fighting for them. But you saw that just the other day in the Supreme Court, men playing in women’s sport doesn’t work.”The two cases that were heard before the Supreme Court last week focused on the issue of states’ rights to pass laws that ban biological males in women’s and girls sports. Idaho and West Virginia were each sued by trans athletes in those states, who successfully blocked the state laws to protect women’s sports. Now, the Supreme Court will review both cases and cast a potential landmark ruling. Justices Kentaji Brown-Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor delivered questions and statements during the hearing that might suggest they will rule in favor of the trans athlete plaintiffs. During the opening arguments of the hearing, Brown-Jackson pressed Idaho Solicitor General Alan Hurst about the state’s law meant to protect girls’ and women’s sports. “I guess I’m struggling to understand how you can say that this law doesn’t classify on the basis of transgender status,” Jackson said to Hurst. “The law expressly aims to ensure that transgender women can’t play on women’s sports teams. So why is that not a classification on the basis of transgender status?”Justice Clarence Thomas was seen slouching in his seat with his hand covering his face during this question by Brown-Jackson, as witnessed by Fox News Digital in the courtroom. There were other moments during the hearing where Thomas was seen in the same pose.
