Washington (CNN) — 

Former President Donald Trump is littering his public remarks with fictional stories.

This isn’t run-of-the-mill political spin, the kind of statistic-twisting and accomplishment-exaggerating that political candidates of all stripes engage in. Rather, the Republican presidential nominee is telling colorful lies that are completely untethered to reality.

One of Trump’s recent LIES is his wild story about schools determining which children need gender-affirming surgeries and sending children to get such surgeries without their parents’ awareness or involvement.

Transgender children and schools

At an event held by a conservative group in late August, Trump claimed that schools are sending children for gender-affirming surgeries without their parents’ knowledge. He said, “The transgender thing is incredible. Think of it. Your kid goes to school and comes home a few days later with an operation. The school decides what’s going to happen with your child.”

Trump’s campaign subsequently made clear to CNN that it could not find a single example of such a thing having happened anywhere in the United States. Parental consent is required for gender-affirming operations; schools have not performed or approved these surgeries for minors behind their parents’ backs.

Even after Trump’s campaign demonstrated that it couldn’t substantiate the story, he repeated it days later at a Wisconsin rally in early September.

Parental permission is required for such surgeries, and Trump’s campaign cannot produce one single example of a school determining that a child needed gender-affirming surgery and taking the child somewhere to have the surgery performed without any parental consent or involvement.

Even after this wild LIE was exposed, Trump continued to tell this absurd story. Wilfully telling such a horrible lie about schools in our country is an indication that Trump is a SOCIOPATH, and NOBODY should want our country to be led by a president who is a SOCIOPATH and a pathological liar.

This wild story might encourage some right-wing NUT JOB to murder teachers or school administration officials because he/she believed that the teachers or school officials were forcing children to have gender-affirming surgeries without the children’s parents knowledge and consent. Trump has no concern about the terrible consequences that might well result from his wild LIES about teachers and schools. He does not care about the consequences of his LIES, because he is a SOCIOPATH.
