Of course he did...... most of his cult members hadn't even thought about trans athletes before he mentioned it (especially considering I think there were only like 10 athletes total in the US that this would affect). Just like with "dei" and "fraud, waste and abuse" they are buzz phrases that work before they never look past the surface level and are easily manipulated.

Kind of like "you're fired" from his reality TV days (though his presidency feels like a season of the real housewives with their stupidity and drama).
