Freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump has been heralded as a champion of women's sports following his inaugural address. The 45th and 47th President of the United States will open his second term by signing approximately 200 executive orders Monday as his 'new golden age of America' begins. Among them is an effort to roll back gender diversity programs.

In front of around 600 allies, dignitaries and family members inside the U.S. Capitol building, Trump declared that the federal government will only recognize two sexes – male and female.

While he did not explicitly refer to women's sports during his address inside the Capitol Rotunda, Trump's new gender policy comes after the new Commander-in-Chief previously pledged to end 'transgender lunacy.'. Speaking at the AmericaFest in Arizona in December, Trump said: 'With a stroke of my pen on Day 1, we're going to stop the transgender lunacy.
President Donald Trump was praised by Riley Gaines for his declaration that the federal government will only recognize two sexes – male and female - during his inauguration. 'And I will sign executive orders to end child mutilation, get transgender out of the military and out of our elementary schools and middle schools and high schools.
