  1. Forget science and repeat after me: it is always the woman’s fault.

  3. What about the promise to release the Epstein documents?

  4. He reminds me of Elmo, holding billions of dollars and complaining about low fertility rate on twitter daily.

    Is hard to raise a baby in the basement.

  5. I’m calling it now. Fertile women in ICE camps will be diverted to bear children for the loyalists.

  6. Another promise broken and lie: Trump was going to “protect” women…as if.

  8. Women not having working uterus’s? What are they stupid? /s

  10. So… another slight to the interest of women and families wanting children…

    To be fair, he’s treating Ghislaine Maxwell amazingly well… free health care and Pilates workshops in her summer camp – Club Fed. She’s sitting pretty after giving Trump a “clean” bill of health – disclaiming ever having seen him do anything concerning or inappropriate during his decades long BFF with Epstein.

    I’m sure that Blanche and the DOJ are gonna verify her assertion via corroboration by the 1000+ Epstein victims.

  11. The Project 2025 people are avidly against IVF, so this is no big surprise.

  12. 10 years from now, people won’t believe you if you said the US used to be an education and research powerhouse

  13. Let’s ban Viagra and blame God for male impotence.

  14. So I am to blame for having Endometriosis?   Noted.    

    I’m getting a hysterectomy next year anyhow so… Fuck off, taco turd.   

  16. Trump doesn’t care about women. Project 2025 is trying to do away with women’s rights.
    This is just another distraction.
    Release the Epstein files.

  18. Donald Trump is a pedophile and the GOP are his enablers

  19. It is so funny they claim that want to help with underlying conditions like endometriosis but at the same time demonize birth control pills.

    I had my endometriosis surgery four years ago. And the only medication I take to prevent future endometriosis is daily birth control pill

  20. This guy- ya just gotta love him. He fooled millions of people into thinking when he’s telling the truth that he’s “just joking” and that when he’s lying he’s telling the literal truth. He opens his mouth and the media trips over themselves to put a microphone in front of it. He runs get rich quick grift after grift selling steaks, sneakers, bibles, cellphones, crypto and people run at him with fists full of money. All after bankrupting his own businesses, getting arrested and finally convicted on multiple counts of fraud.

    In what universe if anyone actually knew a person like this in their life would they associate themselves with them? He’s a walking trash bag of a human being. If he weren’t born into his privilege he’d have nothing at all.

  21. So, men are never to blame for infertility? Wow.  Gilead, here we come.

  22. An avid Trump supporter “friend” of my wife is furious – and she blames Democrats.

    Her logic is that if democrats would just leave poor Donald alone he would have supported IVF.

    This friend has had 3 failed IVFs. I had to use all of my willpower to hold back in telling her how evangelicals view IVF and therefore direct and guide Trump on these topics.

  24. White Americans made up about three-quarters of the electorate in 2024, with roughly half casting their votes for Trump. And of that, around half were women.

    Everyone else with subsequent significant political power understood the assignment, but the freaks will blame *anyone* else. Classic America.

  25. I wake up every day and think this country can’t get worse and every day I’m proven wrong.

  26. He promised Tulsi fertilization though! Since that’s how she got pregnant! Come on, pedo! Can’t even keep your promises on fertilization?!

  27. Of course, we’re second class citizens. How women can vote for a misogynist of this magnitude is beyond me.

  28. remember when this con artist fuck called himself the “father of IVF”? he could say he invented electricity and his cult of pedo protectors would find a way to agree. everyday he goes on is proof there is no God, or at least, not a good one

  29. Well, maybe it’s better to have no free IVF than have this administration implement eugenics stipulating eye, skin, and hair color requirements for free IVF babies.

  30. Anybody else remember the speech? Where he was saying he would be called the “fertilization president”.

    Yup. This dude lies nonstop.

  31. LOL.

    If the public hasn’t figured out that he will say literally ANYTHING to get what he wants in the moment, just to backtrack, lie, or literally laugh in your face…by now? They never will.

    All these people tripping over themselves in his inner-circle will ALWAYS come out worse for wear once he’s done with them.

    Trump was a tabloid, con-artist, rapist piece of shit 20 years ago and now he’s an even bigger tabloid, con-artist, rapist piece of shit now.

    The fact that ANYONE believes him anymore is just proof of my fellow American’s gullibility. If a sucker is born every minute…a lot of them settled on the conservative side of politics.

  32. LOL – had severe endometriosis when I was younger. During the time where I was undiagnosed and desperately going from doctor to doctor trying to find someone to help me, I went to who said this “Well, we see a lot of women in your situation, and I have to tell you it’s because you are working and independent. Women like you who are denying their womanhood tend to have a lot of pain. It’s like you’re denying your body. Work on embracing being a woman and you’ll feel better in no time”.

    I kid you not. Medical professional my ass.

  33. Instead he’s going to select leaders called Commanders and pair them up with fertile young women. They’ll wear red dresses to show their status in society. 

  34. Fuckin obviously. He was always more likely to side with the Alabama Supreme Court and anyone who actually thought otherwise has the intelligence of a sperm cell.

  35. May the barren breeders that voted for him suffer childless for all their days.

  36. There was that one lady that voted for him because of his “promise” for paid/covered IVF treatment. She lost her federal job and now…this happens. Never trust the devil….

    Take little weight/don’t listen to folk who’ve never been where you’ve been, lived your experiences, or don’t express compassion for others.

  37. My eggs suck so bad I am not a good candidate for IVF. And insurance companies rarely cover any fertility treatments. I was telling my friend (back in December) about how this administration makes me nervous they’d ban fertility treatments under some religious guise. And she responded that “but Trump said he’s going to make insurance companies cover IVF” and I just say they’re dumbfounded at the response. Like he’s a fucking liar and IVF is so expensive there ain’t no way he’d force the hand of carriers to cover it.

    Glad to be vindicated here but it still tastes like vinegar to be right.
