President Donald Trump quickly did a cost-benefit analysis on Thursday night.

He concluded that an angry wife was worth the amusement from the crowd inside Coleman Coliseum.

While speaking about transgender athletes in women’s sports during his more than hour-long speech Thursday night in Tuscaloosa, the president bemoaned transgender women who shatter records set by biological women.

“The greatest is, like, weightlifting. You ever see the weightlifting? Where they have a record that wasn’t broken in 18 years?” Trump said.

“Should I imitate?” the president asked the crowd. “You know, my wife gets very upset when I do this. She said, ‘darling, it’s not presidential.’ Yeah, but people like it. Should I do it, or not?”

The loud cheers were all it took to sway the president.

“Alright. I’m in trouble when I get home but that’s OK,” he said. “What the hell. I’ve been in lots of trouble before.”

“But you look at the weightlifting where 18 years it stands and they have this young woman. And her parents are right where you are in the front row. And they’re so proud of her. And there’s like 209 pounds. And she’s gonna lift that, the record stood for 18 years,” Trump continued.

“And they put 1/8 of an ounce here, an 1/8 of an ounce there – little tiny, little bit – and she’s gonna do it,“ the president said. ”‘Mom, I love you. I’m gonna do it for you, mom. And she goes, and she lifts, and she gets it, and,”

Trump then imitated a woman struggling to push a barbell over her head.

“Mom, I’m gonna do it. Mom,” the president said before giving up.

“Cant do it,” he said. “And then a guy comes along – or a gal, or whatever – a transitions person comes along.”

Trump then pantomimed a lifting weights with ease.

“And he was a failed weightlifter as a man – but he comes along – 206 pounds – they put the little thing [weights] on – then he goes ‘boom, boom.’

“And breaks the record by like 119 pounds,” Trump said. “That’s not right.”
