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 provide a source.

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.

This is why women shouldn’t vote.

You going to link a source at all, or you’re just content to spout lies and assume everyone will take your word for it…?

Tell me you only look at headline news without telling me…..

And if this is your platform and all you have to run on (considering the malaise that people are dealing with daily due to the incompetence of this regime), BRING IT ON!

So we agree that government should stay out of both of these issues, right? 😄

Wow, that is a specific claim. I am certain you can give us the exact quote from President Trump, or provide the video clip?
— ShariRae (@ShariRae3) April 30, 2024
You can’t make this stuff up. We had a Trump administration, and he was not authoritarian. Didn’t even mandate vaccines. The dems are the ones for control not conservatives.

Again, file this under things Trump never said even during his first term as president. The source for this claim is probably some blog like The Mary Sue or Jezebel.
