The Idiot in Chief mistook cancer research in mice for fucking _transgender mice_.

Link goes to the Rolling Stone.

> **[Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and...](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-transgender-mice-medical-research-1235289439/)**
>
> President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

> Even among the many lies and distortions in [President Donald Trump](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/donald-trump/)‘s never-ending [address](https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-speech-congress-tariffs-disturbance-1235288729/) to Congress on Tuesday evening, one claim stood out. The chief executive of the United States told the country that the so-called Department of Government Efficiency ([DOGE](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/doge/)) had uncovered an outrageous expenditure authorized by the previous administration: a whopping $8 million “ **for making mice transgender**.”

> As for the “transgender” mice, it’s possible that the [Trump](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/trump/) regime’s sweeping efforts to root out language associated with diversity, equity, and inclusion led them to health studies that involve “ **transgenic” mice** , lab research mice that have been genetically altered to better model human disease response. They have been called a “[revolutionary research resource](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK231336/)” for medical advancements.

Bolding mine.
