This week, Donald Trump has joined the Congress session, where he said the Biden administration spent $8 million on “making mice transgender.” Throughout the session, Trump’s comments were about the government’s spending along with the recommendations from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). An interesting incident that happened was his remarks about the government spending on the biotechnology businesses. His remarks about “making the mice transgender” have prompted laughter and jeers in Republican lawmakers.
Trump’s Claims in the Congress Session
Although Trump has not cited the specific origin of the discussion during the session about the news, he has raised concerns about the money the government is spending on biotechnology research. He has raised his concerns in front of Republican Representative Nancy. He discussed the allocation of taxpayer money on the research and other procedures, but the hearing gained the title “Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies” because of his claim. He says that the National Institutes of Health spent millions of dollars in the Biden administration performing “transgender experiments on mice.”
It seems like maybe Trump was confused between the “transgender” and “transgenic” mice. The transgenic mice are genetically modified mice with genes modified from other animals. These are the vital biomedical research models known for disease studies and development treatments.
On the other hand, transgender mice are the third gender in mice. The researchers say there is no such research performing in the labs these days.
How Much is Government Spending on Biotechnology Researches?
- Trump’s statement has started a new discussion, and the White House has responded to him with the list of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants.
- For the hormone theory and HIV response study taking place in mice, the government is spending $455,000.
- About $2.5 million has been spent on the examination of steroid hormone consequences by the administration.
- To study the hormonal influence on the asthematic patients, $3.1 million has been spent.
- An important study of testing the testosterone therapy impact on breast cancer has a budget of $299940.
- In the report, some other very critical studies were mentioned, and overall, $8.2 million is spent on the studies related to health and biotechnology.
Why Trump has Mentioned Mice?
Mice are widely used in the medical, biological, genetic, and biotechnological fields. These are crucial to study the effect of specific genes and their changes in the biological processes. The aim of these studies is to understand the disease in humans, such as neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and other.
Unlike Trump’s claim, there is no active study on making mice transgender in laboratories. The experiments are to study the change in the genetics and the effect of these changes in human diseases. Artificial intelligence and other techniques are helping researchers to deal with such issues and to predict and study every minor change. Similarly, AI is helping the websites and apps to perform better and provide safe and smooth performance.

Trump About Elon’s Tech DOGE
Elon Musk is leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a department for federal technology modernization and dealing with government waste. Under Musk’s leadership, DOGE has been tasked to suggest the cost-cutting measures the government should take to maintain the budget. In the Congress session, Trump mentioned Elon Musk’s DOGE, suggesting the cost-friendly measures that are not followed by the Biden administration, and he has spent a lot of money on mice and other animals’ experiments.
