Some have dubbed President Donald Trump the nation's Comedian-in-Chief because of the often humorous stories and impersonations he typically includes in his speeches.

Trump's jokes and impressions, however, sometimes get him "in trouble" with his wife, first lady Melania Trump, the president acknowledged during a speech at the University of Alabama's graduation ceremony, People magazine reported.

Yet, while mindful that Melania would likely be "very upset" with him later for being "not presidential," Trump proceeded to hilariously imitate the stark difference between a biologically female and transgender weightlifter during a lighthearted riff against biologically male competitors dominating women's sports.

Trump addresses issue of transgender athletes in women's sports

On Thursday, President Trump delivered remarks to the 2025 graduating class at the University of Alabama, and it didn't take long for him to focus initially on the school's incredible success in several different sports, including football, basketball, and track and field, among other athletic competitions.

"And as long as I'm president, we will always protect women's sports. Men will not play in women's schools. No way!" Trump exclaimed. "They say that's an 80–20 issue. No, it's a 97–3 issue, I think. No, men will not be playing in women's sports. I said that, and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know. It's done."

The president proceeded to give the graduating students plenty of solid advice and encouragement as they prepared to launch careers and find their way in the real world, but eventually returned to the transgender athletes issue later in his speech, even as he admitted that his jokes about the topic could land him in hot water with the first lady.

Trump's impersonation of a transgender weightlifter

At one point in his University of Alabama speech, President Trump humorously riffed for several moments on the innate unfairness of biological males who identify as transgender females to engage in athletic competitions that are supposed to be only for biologically female athletes, and used the sport of competitive weightlifting to make his valid point.

"And they have -- should I imitate it? You know, my wife gets very upset when I do this. She says, 'Darling, it's not presidential.' It's here, but people like it. Should I do it or not? Do it!" Trump said to the crowd. "All right, I'm in trouble when I get home, but that's okay. What the hell. I've been in lots of trouble before."

Trump then spoke about a female weightlifter who aimed to break a longstanding record and hilariously imitated her struggling mightily to just barely achieve the incredible feat for women. "And then a guy comes along -- or a gal, or whatever -- a transitioned person comes along. And he was a failed weightlifter as a man. But he comes along -- 206 pounds. They put the little thing on. And he goes ... and breaks the record by 119 pounds," the president said while imitating an effortless deadlift. "That's not right."

After citing other examples of biological males dominating women's sports, such as swimming, Trump stated, "And, you know, honestly, it's demeaning for women. Very demeaning. These are great athletes -- it's very demeaning. And we're going to protect women. We're going to protect women. We're going to protect everybody."

"So now that I'm in trouble with my wife, I'm going to blame the University of Alabama for asking me to go through with that stuff," he jokingly added. "But it's pretty descriptive, isn't it? Really helps."

America's Comedian-in-Chief

President Trump, who could likely have been a successful stand-up comedian if he weren't already involved in politics and business, likes to use humor in the form of recollected stories and impersonations of others to help bolster his points, and those jokes can occasionally creep right up to or even cross the line of acceptability.

To be sure, Trump's hilarious tales are often sharply criticized by humorless Democrats and media scolds, but he has made it abundantly clear that he really doesn't care if they are supposedly offended by his remarks or not.

That said, he does seem to care, at least somewhat, about whether the first lady approves of his jokes, but even then, he has shown that he's willing to go ahead and get the laughs while likely seeking forgiveness from his beloved spouse later.
