Just when you thought you’d heard it all, Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, has shocked the world once again with his latest business venture. He plans to form a new WNBA team, with LeBron James and other retired NBA stars — as transgender females.
“This is going to be the greatest thing the WNBA has ever seen,” Trump declared at a press conference, apparently unfazed by the stunned silence that greeted his announcement. “LeBron, Shaq, Kobe’s hologram — we’ve got them all. They’re going to be fabulous.”
LeBron James, surprised by his unexpected career shift, quipped on Twitter: “Guess I’ll need to work on my lay-ups in stilettos now…”
The proposed team, dubbed “Trump’s Triumphs,” has caused quite the stir. Critics have voiced concerns about fairness and respect for existing WNBA players, while others are still trying to figure out if Trump’s announcement was a belated April Fool’s joke.
Meanwhile, Trump remains steadfast, already gathering a team of experts ranging from geneticists to fashion designers. “We’re going to have the best uniforms. Very stylish, very chic. And the heels? The tallest,” Trump promised, to a room full of disbelieving journalists.
Retired NBA players are also coming to terms with their potential new roles. “I thought my dunking days were over,” said one, “Now Trump wants me to do it in a skirt and heels?”
Whether Trump’s plan is a genuine, albeit unusual, attempt to promote transgender representation in professional sports, or just another publicity stunt, is yet to be seen. But as the news sinks in, one thing is certain: Trump’s Triumphs are set to redefine the WNBA — and the world is watching with bated breath.
