Members of the University of Georgia\u2019s winning women\u2019s tennis team were blocked by Donald Trump on a platform in a White House<\/a> photo.<\/p>\n Sharing a snap taken with the eleven members of the Georgia Bulldogs team, who won the NCAA championship this year, Trump towered above the women. <\/p>\n Posing with a thumbs up, members of the university\u2019s coaching staff stood alongside the President, in front of the winning women\u2019s team. <\/p>\n \u2018What a great job. That\u2019s not easy, winning in tennis,\u2019 Trump said of the team. <\/p>\n \u2018That\u2019s a tough thing to do. I play tennis a little bit, not quite at that level, not quite, but that\u2019s a great achievement.\u2019<\/p>\n Still, hundreds were quick to point out the bizarre photo positioning, which saw Trump tower over the champions on a platform of his own.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018I can barely see the women\u2026 This is embarrassing, and the image is a great visual representation of the Republican Party<\/a>\u2019s attitudes towards women,\u2019 one wrote.<\/p>\n Another pointed out: \u2018Why are the actual players all in the back? Shouldn\u2019t they be promoted first?\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019m so confused. I thought you guys wanted men OUT of women\u2019s sports,\u2019 one person wrote, referencing Trump\u2019s ongoing campaign to remove transgender people from sports.<\/p>\n Shortly after retaking office last year, Trump threatened schools that went against his executive order banning transgender athletes.<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t Trump\u2019s executive order titled Keeping Men Out of Women\u2019s Sports directs\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0agencies to withdraw federal funding to any schools that do not comply.<\/p>\n Surrounded by dozens of young female athletes in uniform and women as he announced it last February, Trump said: \u2018From now on, women\u2019s sports will be only for women.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018The radical left has waged an all-out campaign to erase the very concept of biological sex and replace it with a militant transgender ideology.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018With this executive order the war on women\u2019s sports is over.\u2019<\/p>\n The Republican president alleged that \u2018men claiming to be girls\u2019 have \u2018stolen\u2019 more than 3,500 victories and \u2018invaded\u2019 more than 11,000 competitions designed for women.<\/p>\n Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@metro.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more stories like this, check our news page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Mandatory](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/SEI_294136435-bbad.jpg\")
