Trump Demands Apology From Maine Gov. Janet Mills for Defending Trans Women
Briefly

President Trump recently called for an apology from Maine Governor Janet Mills following a contentious discussion about an executive order banning transgender women and girls from female sports. During a recent session at the White House, Trump's demand was characterized as a retaliatory move, coinciding with increased scrutiny on Maine, including investigations and funding cuts. Political figures criticized Trump's requests, emphasizing the absurdity of demanding apologies from state leaders for exercising their views. The incident reflects the heightened tensions surrounding gender and sports policy in America.
While the state of Maine has apologized for their governor's strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women's sports while at the White House Governor's Conference, we have not heard from the governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the federal government again, before this case can be settled,
This new scrutiny on Maine comes as the state has been subject to numerous probes and funding cuts following that exchange that "have been widely interpreted as retaliatory,” according to the local outlet the Maine Morning Star.
King Trump demands an apology from the Governor of Maine because she embarrassed him,” wrote former NBCUniversal studio executive Mike Sington. “Pathetic.”
