Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for observing Easter Sunday, a significant day in the Christian faith, as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” In a statement from the Trump campaign, Trump denounced Biden’s designation of “Trans Visibility Day” on Easter Sunday as blasphemous and urged the self-proclaimed devout Catholic to apologize to Christians nationwide.
The statement began by expressing dismay over the Biden administration’s prohibition of children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event and the formal proclamation of Easter Sunday as “Trans Day of Visibility.” These actions were portrayed as additional evidence of the Biden Administration’s prolonged assault on the Christian faith.
The statement concluded by calling on Joe Biden’s campaign and White House to apologize to the millions of Catholics and Christians who believe Easter Sunday is solely dedicated to the celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection.

The White House issued a statement on Friday announcing that Transgender Day of Visibility would coincide with Easter. The statement emphasized honoring the courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reiterated the nation’s commitment to equality for all individuals. It conveyed a message of support and belonging to the transgender community, asserting that they are valued members of America. President Joseph R. Biden Jr. officially declared March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility.
Trump was among several conservative and Christian figures who criticized Biden for scheduling “Trans Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday.
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy called out Biden for his decision, questioning the selection of March 31st for “Transgender Visibility Day.”
Joe Biden just proclaimed that “Transgender Visibility Day” is on Sunday, March 31st. I wonder how he came up with that date.

Benny Johnson, a conservative commentator, posted a screenshot of the White House statement, remarking, “This is a significant insult to Christians across America…”

“Joe Biden has declared Easter Sunday as ‘Transgender Day of Visibility,'” stated Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV) on X. “The timing seems quite coincidental, doesn’t it? This represents a direct affront to Christianity. It’s yet another instance of this administration attacking religion and longstanding traditions.”

What a coincidence on the timing, right?

“Our ‘catholic’ president has chosen the highest holiday on the Christian calendar to celebrate transgenderism. This man is a demon,” wrote the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh in a fiery post on X.
Biden’s “Catholic faith” is coming under growing scrutiny. Despite his claims of being a “devout Catholic,” his decisions, often conflicting with Christian principles, have raised doubts among many. Even Pope Francis has criticized Biden’s position on abortion as “incoherent.”
