Last week, Caitlyn Jenner once again expressed how much she admires Donald Trump. The 76-year-old reality TV star and former Olympic athlete also shared a frustration on Tomi Lahren’s Fearless podcast.
On the first day of his second administration, Trump issued an executive order mandating all federal documents to reflect a person’s biological sex at birth. Jenner’s passport was thus returned with a gender marker of “M,” yet she does not blame Trump.
During the podcast, Jenner declared, “I love President Trump. I don’t know who underneath him was putting this thing together. I can’t travel internationally anymore,” she continued. “This is a safety factor.” During a visit to Mar-a-Lago, Jenner claimed to have left a handwritten note with the president’s Secret Service detail, but she didn’t get an answer.
The official title of the executive order is Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government. The Supreme Court upheld it in November after it was signed in January 2025. It, in fact, was a key campaign promise that was repeated in debates and at rallies. Back then, Jenner watched everything and applauded.
One commenter on social media said, “Well, well, well… if it isn’t the consequences of [your] own actions.” Someone else wrote, “YOU VOTED FOR THIS.” A third observed, “I guess [she] thought [she] was special.”
On Monday’s episode of The View, co-host Ana Navarro said, “Caitlyn Jenner? Girl, cry me a river. Let me play my little violin for you.” She cited Janetta Johnson, a trans advocate who, in 2015, called Jenner a “rich, White [expletive]” who “used none of her power to help the community.” Navarro’s point was that “[Jenner] only [cares] about [herself] and [not] about (…) others.”
Notably, her co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is a Republican, referred to the passport mandate as “stupid” and said it was “meant to embarrass people.” She also admitted, Fox News reports, that it had no real use for the average American.
The repercussions are a daily reality for the thousands of transgender Americans hit by the same order. Jenner noted this, saying that “for a lot of people, this is a huge issue,” before going back to expressing her love for Trump.
