President Donald Trump at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, said people from Saudi Arabia think Americans are "crazy" for advocating for transgender athletes in women's sports.
At the forum, hosted at the Kennedy Center, Trump described being shocked watching a congressman fighting for biological men playing in women's sports, explaining a situation where a biological man broke a women's weightlifting record.
"The man was 119 pounds higher than a woman champion, who was a phenomenal champion," Trump said. "Beat her by 119, and he was an average lifter prior to transitioning. A lot of the Saudis are sitting here saying, ‘What the hell is he talking about — transitioning?'"
