CNN caught red-handed lying about ‘transgender mice’ after Trump exposes $8 million in woke government waste.
In yet another embarrassing display of media incompetence, CNN was forced to eat crow after falsely claiming President Trump lied about federal funding for transgender mouse experiments. The $8 million taxpayer-funded research, which Trump highlighted during his congressional address, is indeed real – confirmed by the White House itself. This episode perfectly encapsulates how far the mainstream media will go to discredit Trump, even when he’s simply stating verifiable facts about ridiculous government spending that any rational American would question.
CNN’s Failed “Fact-Check” Becomes a Self-Own
The supposed guardians of truth at CNN couldn’t wait to pounce on President Trump after he mentioned $8 million in federal funding being used on transgender mice experiments. With their typical smug certainty, they quickly labeled his claim false – only to backpedal when the White House confirmed the funding exists. Nothing says journalistic integrity quite like having to fact-check your own fact-check because you were so eager to call the former president a liar that you didn’t bother verifying the information first.
What’s particularly infuriating about this whole debacle isn’t just the media’s knee-jerk reaction to discredit Trump. It’s the fact that our government is actually funneling millions of taxpayer dollars into hormone therapy research for rodents while Americans are struggling to put food on their tables. Priorities, right? The White House actually provided a detailed list of grants related to these studies, confirming exactly what Trump claimed – federal money is indeed being used for experiments involving mice and gender-affirming treatments.
Your Tax Dollars at Work: Mice on Hormones
While the defenders of this research insist the studies aren’t literally “making mice transgender” but rather examining effects of hormone treatments, this semantic game misses the larger point. Whether you’re making mice transgender or studying transgender hormone treatments using mice, the result is the same – millions of dollars diverted to questionable research at a time when our national debt has ballooned beyond comprehension. The White House itself confirmed multiple grants specifically for hormone therapy research using animal subjects.
What’s particularly telling about these studies is how they expose the government’s investment in pushing particular ideological viewpoints. When federal agencies prioritize funding research into transgender hormone treatments, they’re making a political statement about what science deserves taxpayer support. Meanwhile, infrastructure crumbles, veterans struggle with healthcare access, and inflation eats away at Americans’ savings. But thank goodness we know what happens when you pump mice full of cross-sex hormones!
Media Meltdown Exposes Deeper Bias
The aftermath of CNN’s embarrassing retraction reveals something far more troubling than simple media incompetence. Other outlets like Rolling Stone and NBC News continued trying to split hairs about the purpose of the funding, desperately attempting to salvage their “Trump lied” narrative even after the White House confirmed the basic facts. This coordinated effort to discredit a straightforward statement about government spending shows how deeply entrenched media bias has become.
When the media is more outraged by Trump pointing out wasteful spending than by the wasteful spending itself, we’ve entered peak clown world. The real story should be a serious examination of how our federal agencies prioritize spending. Instead, we’re treated to semantic arguments about whether mice receiving hormone therapy are technically “transgender” or just unwitting participants in transgender-related research. Meanwhile, the $8 million figure that triggered this entire controversy remains uncontested – because it’s accurate.
What This Reveals About American Priorities
This entire controversy perfectly encapsulates the disconnect between everyday Americans and the priorities of government bureaucrats and their media defenders. While families struggle with the highest inflation in decades and communities battle serious problems like crime and addiction, our federal agencies are shoveling millions into studies about hormonal effects on rodents. And when someone has the audacity to question this use of resources, they’re immediately attacked as liars or bigots.
The next time you’re shocked by your grocery bill or wince at gas prices, just remember – your tax dollars are hard at work giving mice hormone therapy. This is exactly the kind of absurd government waste that infuriates regular Americans but gets defended by coastal elites who never met a progressive spending program they didn’t like. Trump’s genius lies in his ability to spotlight these ridiculous expenditures in ways that resonate with people who still possess common sense. And the media’s frantic attempts to discredit him only confirm he’s hitting the target.
