News to Us: Donald Trump Wants to Track Your Menstrual Cycles

Brett T. | 4:30 PM on April 30, 2024

This editor started writing for Twitchy during the 2012 election. At the time, there were a lot of rumors going around about Mitt Romney, like he was going to ban tampons. No, really. That idea came from a satirical piece, but it spread as fact anyway. MSNBC hosts started wearing tampons as earrings.

Now we're hearing that Donald Trump, as part of his second term as president, wants to track women's menstrual cycles. That's funny coming from people who think men can have periods and have mandated tampon dispensers in boys' bathrooms.

Melanie D'Arrigo is the executive director of the Campaign for New York Health:

Donald Trump wants states to track your menstrual cycle, and Republicans think that ISN’T a violation of your rights.

They don’t want states to track your gun purchases, because they think that IS a violation of your rights.

Guns have more of a right to privacy than women.

We missed that Truth Social post.

Can you show me where Trump has said this?

Please cite your source, I can’t wait to hear this speech. Tracking menstrual cycles. Really!

If people are so far gone you think Trump wants to literally track your cycle, I don't know what to say.

I can assure you Mel, The Don wants nothing to do with your menstrual cycle. As you lobby for Team "I don't even know what a woman is" you might slow down long enough to realize how badly you've already lost this argument.
