At a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday, Donald Trump decried President Biden for issuing a White House proclamation of March 31 as the annual Trans Day of Visibility, which this year happened to fall on Easter. "What the h--- was Biden thinking when he declared Easter Sunday to be trans visibility day?" Trump complained, to loud boos from the audience. "Such total disrespect to Christians." The former president omitted that Biden has observed Trans Day of Visibility on the same day every year of his presidency, and the overlap with Easter was purely coincidental. Instead, Trump turned from stoking fears of Christian persecution to another campaign trail favorite: predicting his election victory. "November 5th is going to be called something else," he said. "Christian visibility day, when Christians turn out in numbers that nobody has ever seen before." The crowd reacted, of course, with raucous applause.
