President-elect Donald Trump pledged to “stop the transgender lunacy” on day one of his presidency, as Republicans continue their push against LGBTQ rights.

“I will sign executive orders to end child sexual mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools”, - he said at an event for young conservatives in Phoenix, Arizona.

Trump also vowed to “keep men out of women’s sports”, adding that “it will be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female”.

Speaking to the AmericaFest conference in a border state he easily carried in the November election, Trump further promised immediate measures against “migrant crime”, vowed to designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and doubled down on his talk of restoring US control of the Panama Canal.

“On January 20, the United States will turn the page forever on four long, horrible years of failure, incompetence, national decline, and we will inaugurate a new era of peace, prosperity and national greatness. I will end the war in Ukraine. I will stop the chaos in the Middle East, and I will prevent, I promise, World War III. The golden age of America is upon us”, - said the president-elect.
