Days before President Donald Trump’s anti-trans State of the Union address, in which he falsely claimed that schools across the country are secretly “transitioning of students without their parents’ knowledge” and used a Virginia college student as a prop to argue for schools outing trans kids to their parents, trans celebrity Trump supporter Caitlyn Jenner attended a gala concert at Mar-a-Lago.
According to The Times of India, the former Olympic gold medalist and reality TV star was among the “billionaires, industry titans, financial leaders, entertainment moguls, and global influencers” gathered at the president’s Palm Beach, Florida, resort for pianist Omar Harfouch’s performance of his “Concerto for Peace” on February 20.

PatriotTakes shared the same post on X, where reactions were markedly different. While many users on anti-trans billionaire and Trump supporter Elon Musk’s social media platform posted similar comments questioning which bathroom Jenner was required to use at the event and comparing her looks to the surgically enhanced “Mar-a-Lago face” that has become common among MAGA women, others defended Jenner, citing her opposition to trans women and girls participating in women’s and girls’ sports and claiming she has “never claimed to be a woman.”

Jenner attended Trump’s inauguration in January 2025, writing “Congratulations Mr. President. Thanks be to God!” in a post on X.
Early last February, Jenner declared Trump’s executive order aimed at banning trans women and girls from women’s and girls’ sports “another victory in the fight for protecting women’s sports!”
