President Donald Trump again spoke out against transgender athletes competing against women, taking aim at weightlifters once more.

Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami, Trump took a swipe at trans athletes, claiming that “men” competing in “women’s sports” is “over.” He did, however, say that a “man” won “one of those all-day races” by five hours and 18 seconds “the other day.”

“And Mamdani, whatever the hell his name is, in New York. He thinks it’s wonderful to have men playing in women’s sports.”
It is not clear what race or weight lifting event Trump was speaking about. Mamdani has not made any public comments about transgender athletes in women’s sports. A representative for Mamdani did not immediately respond to an email from Fox News Digital.

“The swimming’s good, too. Records being beaten by numbers nobody thought possible. But a lot of those records are being changed back to where they should be,” Trump said.
