Trump just released one of the most terrifying videos I’ve ever seen of him. He’s boasting that he would prosecute many of my colleagues and me for simply speaking on trans issues to students. He would also ban basic medical care and remove federal funding from trans programs. pic.twitter.com/GBjU0c5rp9
