    White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called transgender procedures on children a "barbaric" practice in remarks she made in response to a question from Daily Wire White House Correspondent Mary Margaret Olohan.

    Olohan asked Leavitt during Friday's press briefing about the executive orders that Trump has signed on the issue of protecting children.

    "Is he interested in backing congressional legislation on this point?" Olohan asked. "And does the Trump administration have interest in investigating doctors who perform these irreversible procedures on kids such as a double mastectomy on a minor girl?"

    Leavitt responded: "Well, the president has already taken a very strong stance on this issue this week with the signing of his executive order, a few executive orders in this space."

    "First, he made it the official policy of the federal government that there are only two sexes, male and female, and we have directed all federal agencies to comply with that policy," she said. "As for congressional legislation to support the president's agenda in this space, and certainly ending the mutilation of young children, the chemical castration of young children, which is a barbaric practice that the vast majority of Americans do not support, for young, minor children, certainly, the president would support Congress' efforts, as he has already made that very clear this week."

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?
  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.
  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.
  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.
  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
