Why Do They Hate Us?

All that comes out of Trump's mouth are lies about us, designed to cause fear and anxiety in our community while creating hatred against us.
The president and Linda McMahon turned a back-to-school celebration into a barrage of falsehoods about transgender students, education and vaccines.

President Donald Trump and Education Secretary Linda McMahon used a White House back-to-school celebration Monday to spread lies about transgender children and education in front of students. Trump then inexplicably invited attendees to tour the construction of his helipad and ballroom, returning to his White House construction obsession.
And now come the lies:
“Every public school in America is now on notice that if they tell a child that they’re trapped in the wrong body, they are committing child abuse,” Trump said.

That’s not true. No Biden policy forced children to identify as transgender, and Trump cited no law making affirmation abuse—the targeted policies concern names, pronouns and privacy — not medical treatment.
And more lies:
McMahon repeated the lie that schools secretly transition children and threatened their federal funding over supposed “radical experiments.”

“After the Biden administration allowed schools to secretly transition students without parents’ knowledge, President Trump is defending parental rights like never before,” McMahon said. “At his direction, we are working hand in hand with the Department of Justice to ensure no school district ever has more power over a child than their own parents.”
Trump repeatedly lies about us, using those lies to create fear and anxiety in our community while fueling hatred toward us.

The mainstream media are complicit in this by not calling Trump and his administration out on these lies. FactCheck.org reported:

On the first day of his administration, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to no longer consider a person’s gender and to recognize people as either male or female, as defined by the size of their reproductive cells.

The directive served as a basis for a series of subsequent orders that called for defunding medical or educational institutions that have protections for transgender students, provide gender-affirming medical care to transgender youth or allow transgender girls or women to participate in women’s sports. Another order attempted to ban transgender people from the military. 

But some of those orders — and Trump’s later comments — lack context or include incorrect or misleading statements.

“For four long years, we had an administration that tried to abolish the very concept of womanhood and replace it with radical gender ideology,” Trump said on March 26 at a Woman’s History Month event at the White House.
Is it just for political gain that he is willing to cause harm to children? I don't know what is worse: the fact that he is using us for political gain, the fact that he is willing to accept that children will suffer lifelong consequences from not receiving appropriate medical care, or the fact that he is willing to accept that some children might harm themselves.
