Donald Trump recently sparked controversy by declaring he doesn’t use pronouns during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham. When asked about Vice President Kamala Harris’s decision to share her pronouns on social media, Trump responded that he doesn’t play the pronoun game. This led Ingraham to suggest that his stance might align with the use of they/them pronouns, to which Trump deflected, questioning what being gender-fluid even means and dismissing it as something people don’t understand.
Trump criticized those focused on pronouns, describing them as “going crazy” and needing to be brought “back to sanity.” He continued to take jabs at Vice President Harris, labeling her as “very radical” and more left-leaning than Bernie Sanders. Trump’s remarks were part of a broader attack on his political rivals during the Fox News interview.
While Trump claimed not to feel threatened by Harris, whom he mocked for her “crazy laugh,” he expressed skepticism about debating her, suggesting it wouldn’t be worthwhile. These comments come as the election approaches, with Trump’s provocative statements aiming to resonate with his base and draw attention to his campaign.
Trump’s comments on gender fluidity and pronouns reflect a broader strategy to appeal to conservative voters by taking firm stances on cultural issues. By questioning the validity and understanding of gender fluidity, Trump seeks to rally his supporters around traditional views and differentiate himself from more progressive candidates.
With less than 100 days to the election, it remains to be seen how Trump’s remarks about pronouns and his critiques of Harris will impact public opinion. His strategy appears to involve maintaining a hardline stance on cultural issues to galvanize his supporters and draw clear contrasts with his opponents.
