From Fox News: President Donald Trump stirred the hearts of the University of Alabama graduates when he reaffirmed his promise to “keep men out of women’s sports.”
During a commencement speech at the university’s graduation ceremony on Thursday night, Trump gave a shutout to the school’s SEC champion women’s track and field team before igniting a raucous applause by “vowing to defend women’s sports.”
“As long as I’m president, we will always protect women’s sports. Men will not play in women’s sports,” Trump said before the crowd erupted in cheers for its loudest and longest applause of the night.
“No way. They say it’s an 80-20 issue. No, it’s a 97-3 issue, I think,” Trump said. “No, men will not be playing in women’s sports. I said that, and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know. It’s done.”
From the looks of the response Trump received, Alabama is is no danger of losing its “red state” status for some time.
