"In a post on Truth Social at 10:47 a.m., Trump outlined several priorities under what he called 'THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.' The fifth item read: 'NO TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN, WITHOUT THE EXPRESS WRITTEN APPROVAL OF THE PARENTS.' But in a second post at 4:12 p.m., the same list appeared again with one notable change. The fifth item now read: 'NO TRANSGENDER MUTILATION SURGERY FOR CHILDREN.' The language referencing parental approval had disappeared."
"The discrepancy drew attention from U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican who represents Kentucky's 4th Congressional District and has frequently criticized Trump despite being in the same party. On X, Massie posted screenshots of the two versions side by side."
President Trump posted a policy proposal on Truth Social outlining priorities under 'THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.' The initial post at 10:47 a.m. stated opposition to transgender surgery for children without parental approval. A revised version posted at 4:12 p.m. removed the parental consent language, keeping only the prohibition on surgery for minors. The earlier version was subsequently removed from Truth Social, though screenshots remain available. The White House's official Facebook account shared the revised version without parental consent language. The discrepancy prompted commentary from Republican Rep. Thomas Massie and drew criticism from former Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene.
