Trump calls Texas Senate candidate 'six genders, a real hit on Jesus'

politicsMay 15, 2026272,396

When asked about endorsements, former president Donald Trump described the Democratic candidate in the Texas Senate race as "six genders, a real hit on Jesus." He then called the candidate "bad news," referenced a recent mask and said the candidate "was a vegan." Those remarks deploy culture-war themes and personal insults in a high-profile Senate contest and may shape Republican voters' and endorsers' decisions ahead of the primary.

Q: Who are you going to endorse in the Texas Senate race? TRUMP: I'm looking at it. I think the Democrats have a weird, weird candidate. Six genders, a real hit on Jesus. This guy is bad news, with his mask from relatively recently. He was a vegan.

So this rapist, felon, insurrectionist, business fraud and pedophile thinks Veganism is somehow a disqualifying characteristic for a politician?

ChiTownChristine343

How is this a string of words about a person? However, if you had gender, Jesus, and vegan on your bingo card it was a win for you.

Joshua Samuels227

“He was a vegan” to trump means he ate a salad one time

Berner Account145

A six gender vegan sounds like a upgrade

Dr Robin114

Trump is just making stuff up and throwing it at the wall to see if it sticks because he has 2 shit MAGA candidates who are on their knees to pick from.

Miles Grant74

Time for another NYT op-ed about how it’s Dems who need to drop their obsession with trans & cultural issues

PJ Irwin49

There’s a non-zero chance he heard the word “cisgender” and thought it was six genders. Just like he kept saying that going into Iran was an excursion instead of an incursion.

Lori 🇺🇦💩🐸👑42

He's a "Vay-Gun" Dude is such a weirdo. And what the hell does six genders mean?

ADaveSaysWhat41

"He was a vegan" WTF??

Serious Talk32

What does any of that even mean? "A real hit on Jesus." Huh? This man is completely incoherent.

Dona Dickinson31

Oooooh not a vegan! How frightening!

Squee23

has anyone decoded the "with his mask from relatively recently" bit yet?

Kristen21

Once again, making zero sense

C.V. Danes21

Everyone knows there's at least eight genders.

#FBPE. DMs will be ignored.21

Maybe he thinks he's a Vogon? "Regrettably, your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition. The process will take slightly less than two of your Earth minutes. Thank you very much."

Trevor WH 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 he/him17

Oh Jesus, is this what the six genders thing is about? 🤦‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/rexh...

Jolene From Canada 🇨🇦 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦17

I’m going to need more clarification, which six genders is the candidate, and how are they hitting Jesus??

🌊 Matt Gaetz’ Unredacted Life 🌊16

he speaks in glossolalia

Dharwin15

He is alllmost at the point where he responds with just buzzwords, with no sentence around them. “Jesus, vegan, gender, mutilize. Belch.”

Mial Pagan15

A real hit on Jesus would be creating an AI version of yourself as Jesus & posting on social media. But no intelligent person in their right mind would do that. Oh, hang on a moment...

Crazy Cat Lady Abroad14

The guy who thinks refugees seeking asylum are escaped mental patients, and is also the same the guy who thinks transgenic mice are transgender, has now announced that he thinks cisgender means there are six genders. Yeah. That tracks.

Crooked Bridge13

My parents are in the 90's. They have never said anything as discombobulated, mush headed and plain dumb as that asshole does on a daily basis.

Mo Walker12

If Cornyn and Paxton want his endorsement, they better beef up their anti-vegan credentials. 😆

Lobsterlen10

He’s not a vegan. He bought vegan products from a local company to reduce his meat consumption and to show support for a local small business.

trueblueguy.bsky.social10

LMAO. Even if it were true (and it’s not) I’ll take six genders and vegan over this idiot Trump every day…

John Doan9

What is that word salad even supposed to mean? 🤔

Steve9

We’re just gonna skip over the way he says “veygan”???

Pareto9

The Vegan reaction: [shaking head] Those cheeseburgers with their high fat, higher cholesterol and highest sodium had one job.

EricaJones9

Why don’t reporters say “what do you mean by six genders?” Make him explain his crazy talk.

John Coy9

I feel a great deal of Trump’s pull on his followers is his inability to speak in complete sentences. Inadvertently he winds up creating a string of disjointed hashtags. The keywords are all his followers hear.

ph00tbag8

Six genders is rookie numbers.

Dave Cohen7

What the heck is this demented old man talking about???

tbox7

A masked, six-gendered vegan hitting an evangelical, caucasian Jesus. A comic book in the making.

Random Hajile7

I don't even know what that means?! If Trump was a democrat talking like this, acting like this, doing these things the Republicans would want him removed from office. The hypocrisy is beyond belief.

Tr_resident7

That’s quite the word salad. He couldn’t come up with a criticism so he used every GOP negative talking point in one sentence. And threw in vegan for good measure 😂

Addled Pixie7

Because of how he is pronouncing the word, I genuinely thought he was saying Vegan, as in, the star, Vega. As if he were talking about a person being from Vega. (Don’t ask me why I was giving him enough credit to even know the name of the star because he most definitely does not lol.)

annabcide6

What in the hell is he even talking about. "six genders" ???? WTF??? He needs a cookie and a nap. 🫣

Tee6

Word salad = dementia. My mom did that but you know, she wasn’t the effing President. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Jane6

He was a vegan! Oh no, the horror of it all. That moron heard cisgender and he translates it to 6 genders. Fucking idiot

Debra Meeks6

Lol. Did he come up with that all by himself?

rotweinscholle.bsky.social6

This reminds me of the incident when he tried to say "origins" and repeatedly said "oranges". You can see that he knows that he mispronounces the word, but he says it again and again, as if he desperately tries to find the correct pronunciation somewhere in the empty depths of his brain.

Butterfly Photographer5

“Texas doesn’t like Vay-guns.” Can’t wait to hear him pronounce seitan. Satan See-tan Sigh-tan. Some people are saying.

rictho1966.bsky.social5

He clearly doesn't know what cisgender means. Curious if he knows what a vegan is. Maybe he thinks it's someone who refuses to eat garbage McDonald's food that's been sitting in warmers for who knows how long.

Elliot Edelstein5

Stick a fork in this moron

Susan Wallace5

His staff doesn't have the nerve to tell him it's "cisgender"?

forced2bnice2u.bsky.social5

Vegans are disqualified, Lord help this old man. 🥴

R. Lee5

If Jesus created six genders then who are you to question it, Mr. Trump?

Tight Pants & Cheap Motels = No Ballroom5

Gird your loins, the lead up to the mid-terms is going to be "transgender" all the time, every day, via a deluge of despicable ads.

Mr. International4

Talirico has a Masters in Theology from a seminary and is working on a Master's in Divinity. WTF is Trump talking about saying he's weird on Jesus?

franko25.bsky.social4

How is he still breathing? His brain is mush.

Jenny4

What is a "vagan"?? "Six genders"? Grandpa can't even read his cue cards today. "Texas doesn't like vagans".

Birthday June 1 🍗4

He confused the word Cisgender for Sixgenders. Man has a hearing and cognitive issue for sure.

P3nny_Dr3dful4

He loves looking like they caught him in the middle of important business and he’s deigning to briefly stop and answer their questions. I long for the day when nothing he says is deemed relevant.

MrJohnBusiness4

Everyone eats vegan food. Most people just don't eat vegan food exclusively. Such a weird take to bag on them.

Sara Jane Organizing4

Did he mean “cis genders”? I can’t even with this.

🇨🇦🇨🇦loripeterson 🇨🇦🇨🇦4

What's a vagan? And how does anyone have time to manage 6 genders? As Lawerence puts it daily, "he is the stupidest person in the room."

Javs & Arts4

The Knight of the six genders

marcosantana3

Please not Kale. @jaketapper.bsky.social you could write a book. Just saying.

💚❤️Jasmijn Bovendeert 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺3

Was Jesus bad news and a vegan?

crow3

Are we going to talk about the “that’s a real hit on Jesus” part? I mean

Ian B. Bautista3

⁉️ I THINK I can decode some of this. But, what do "a real hit on Jesus," and "his mask from relatively recently," mean?

Partyglouberman3

Six genders, a real hit on Jesus. That thing we all say.

Beachjon3

What’s he fucking taking about

shawshankexemption.bsky.social3

Trump says, 'Texas doesn't like weird "vaguens" that hate Jesus.' [Pastor] James Talarico Wins Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate Race in Texas He’s Religious and a Democrat. www.politico.com/news/magazin... Talarico responds to pastor who wants him killed www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n...

Spicy Zebra3

Ok so does he mean cisgender? Because ?

HikingMarmee3

I guess he is referring to James Talirico. The guy actually has a Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. A real “hit” on Jesus. 🙄

Doctor Worm3

What the fuck does he mean mask?

Olwen3

So in other words, the guy doesn’t eat animals and thinks “Love thy neighbour” should mean just that.

AwntieWithaW3

He doesn’t ’think about’ dictators, but he’s outlined this whole thing

Tracey Lynne3

Oof. The aphasia has gotten really bad!

Alex W3

I know it's a minor point in what is a mess of idiocy, but I'm old enough to remember when Dem advisor were telling Tim Walz to stop calling Republicans "weird."

Alan Kelly3

Trump still confused that the Chinese premier’s pronouns are apparently Xi/him

Elizabeth 03

Do other people pronounce vegan that way? Does he know what vegan is?

jcs77.bsky.social3

Does he even know who's running in TX?

Calvin Chann3

He doesn’t know who’s running

drwhofan1.bsky.social3

He makes no sense. Is he trying to say cisgender? Maybe heard the candidate say it and didnt understand???

rebeccaco3

Everything is so wrong with him

ʟɛֆ ƈɦʀօռɨզʊɛֆ ɖ'օʟɨʋɨɛʀ3

Incompetent and childish. The adjectives, other systematic superlatives, and the vocabulary he uses against his supposed detractors or enemies are those of a 7- to 10-year-old trapped in the body of an 80-year-old, delusional, degenerate old man. Pathetic.

That frontal lobe is gone.

Georgia - today is last day of early voting!! May 15th!! Election is on May 19th. There are Supreme Court elections!! Go vote.

The🇨🇦Beard3

WTF is he babbling on about?

The Fucking Bitch of the Welsh 🫘2

Nurse! Nurse! Grampa's out of bed again!

Petrarca2

"He's a vaguan, he's not a vaguan..." it's all very vague.

Roams The Dunes2

“Vay-gan” what in the AF?

Blue Kentucky Gal2

Darn. And we thought Trump was going to endorse a Democrat for Texas US Senate.

Thia2

A VAY-gun is an alien from a planet orbiting the brightest star in the constellation of Lyra. A VEE-gun doesn't eat or use animals.

onefinekitty.bsky.social2

The kiss of death will be on anyone endorsed by Trump if there is a God!

chrissy64.bsky.social2

Oh my he’s vegan…has the dummy confused veganism with worshipping Satan?

carlg1000.bsky.social2

Pronounced it like the distant star visited in the movie Contact. “Is Talarico texan or space alien?” Jesus H!

cyborg2024.bsky.social2

“vay-gun” LOL!!! What an absolute idiot.

Merry Miller 8647 congress 202-224-31212

He hit on Jesus? With 6 genders? While eating salad? I thought trump was Jesus, or so he says.

RepugnantCon 2

Who is this low energy corpse they're interviewing Sad!

Kathy Byrne2

imagine what he’d say if it was Crockett and not Talerico

HongKongDongSong2

He's a vaygan with a mask. What a crazy old goober.

Vin Ascioti2

At his weekly yearly doctor appointment next week, his next cognitive test should be to name all six genders.

MargotH 💙 🖖🐈🧪🌊🌈📎☕️🍷🇺🇦 🇨🇦2

WTF. 6 genders - what is that? Does he mean cisgender, if so, so what? Talarico has a Masters in Divinity so I think he knows something about Jesus.

Orange Peel2

WTF is he talking about. Time for the straight jacket and the padded cell.

Scrubbing Bubbles2

Donald Trump calling someone weird when he is a child raping pedophile is insane.

bewareofthephog.bsky.social2

A vegan from Texas? Shocking!

Ann G. 🎭🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇲🇽🇺🇦2

donald trump is an idiot

Frottage! In The Outfield2

He's a six gender vague 'un

Brooke2

When you can’t really come up with a reason to not support the candidate so you just make shit up on the fly.

Shoulder2wheel2

Is vegan like some kind of sort of a culinary communist and is it part of the initiation rituals to become Antifa? Well then, sign me up!

Aunty Christ2

Hit on Jesus? Man I wish, but I'm too nervous to approach that guy.

Nguyen-È the Pooh2

The Vaygan Boys are coming…

QUIET PIGGY! PA - your primaries are next Tuesday, May 19th. There are 4 house seats in the state that could flip. PA 01, 07, 08, 10. Silence this idiot.
