Donald Trump’s ‘Transgender Mice’ Slip-Up Turns Into Memes Fest On Social Media
US President Donald Trump mistakenly used the term "transgender mice" instead of "transgenic mice" during his address to Congress. This slip-up resulted in memes fest on the internet.
US President Donald Trump during his address to Congress called out the Joe Biden administration for spending millions of dollars on making “mice transgender” in a slip-up for what was supposed to be “transgenic mice”.
During his address, Trump said, “$8 million for making mice transgender. This is real”.
Soon after the speech, the Internet broke into a meme fest and trolled not only Donald Trump but also JD Vance and Mike Johnson for laughing at the remark.

TransGENIC mice

"Just got off the phone with my friend, @NormOrnstein, who explained to me the difference between transgender and transgenic. You see, Trump got a big laugh from the Republicans last night when he said the federal government "spent $8 million to make mice transgender." No, they didn't. They were actually transgenic mice (injected with DNA from another species). That said, I don't think transgenic mice should be allowed to swim competitively against regular mice. Imagine if they were injected with fish DNA!," another user posted on X.

"If you heard Trump say that US funds were going to “transgender mice” and didn’t immediately feel suspicious of such a claim, it’s pretty obvious why you’d be the type that would vote for a lying, idiotic piece of shit like him," a user posted on X.
