Transgenic mice - mice used for medical research that have had genes swapped out/resequenced
Shameless Liar - POTUS
Fool who saved the money by cancelling the medical research - President Musk
Too many dwarves and quadriplegics in positions of power. That's the problem
Meh...but....
Like many things its not as simple as that. The claim was by Trump that 8 million was spent on transgender mice.
The rebuttel was that is was "transgenic mice" not "transgender mice" and the Trump claim was lies/stupidity.
The truth seems to be that 8 million of spend was citied, covering 6 projects. Only
one of these was about "transgenic mice", the others were....
“A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses”
“Reproductive Consequences of Steroid Hormone Administration”
“Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy on Breast Cancer Risk and Treatment Outcomes”
“Microbiome mediated effects of gender affirming hormone therapy in mice”
“Gonadal hormones as mediators of sex and gender influences in asthma”
All detailed here..

So although one of the six appears irrelevent, the remaining five were clearly related to gender treatment and related research.
So in this case
both sides were lying. Trump and the response both misrepresented the facts.
