A satirical video by Kass Theaz, who goes by the TikTok username isatandstared, about Donald Trump’s elimination of the trans-species child tax credit, has gone viral online.
In the video, she explains she has a son who struggles with body dysmorphia every single day and wants to be a cat.
She explains that since Joe Biden took over the Oval Office, she had been receiving $12,000 a year for her son identifying as a cat, which she states counted as a disability.
Kass Theaz says that although the $1,000 a month was meant to help her with raising him and his transition, she used it to pay her mortgage. Now that Donald Trump has become the president-elect, she says he is getting rid of the trans-species child tax credit.

Although the video was entirely satire and sarcasm, thanks to her flawless acting skills and realistic delivery, she convinced many to believe her.
Now that the video has over 182k views, the number of people misinterpreting her satirical take has been rising.
One user commented, “It’s what we old timers call it STUPID,” while another wrote, “Why don’t you try pulling your head out of your rectum?“
However, those who understood the assignment responded to such comments, saying the video was satire and not real.
In addition, there is no such thing as a trans-species tax credit, and President-elect Donald Trump has not said anything about eliminating something that does not exist in the first place.
Instead, President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance had raised the possibility of increasing the Child Tax Credit to $5,000 from $2,000.
