"He's a Democrat consultant and he was screaming, ‘No, no, no! Don’t let him do this to you! It's a trap! It's another trap!'" Trump quoted.
"What he's talking about is like men playing in women's sports. They said that's an 80-20 issue – no, it's a 97-3," Trump said. "I saw a politician today, that you all know very well, fighting like hell for men playing in women's sports."
"I agree they're human beings, but you can't have a seven-foot man playing basketball with the women. You know, just one of those little problems in life," he continued.

"This is the best of all. They're gonna fight me," Trump said.
