Trump Demands a 'Full Throated Apology' From Maine Governor Who Challenged His Decree Against Trans Women in Sports

President Donald Trump took to social media to demand an apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills about a month after she started a legal battle against him to protect transgender athletes.

The 47th President took to his social media app, Truth Social, to express his opposition to transgender athletes playing in women's sports, calling Mills out for her support of these athletes.

"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 House Governor's Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases," Trump wrote.

"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," he continued. "I'm sure she will be able to do that quite easily. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"

Last month, the White House hosted a reception for the nation's governors during which Trump threatened to cut federal funding for the state of Maine if the state's government did not ban transgender athletes from playing in women's sports.

"We'll see you in court," Mills replied.

"Good, I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one. And enjoy your life after governor because I don't think you'll be in elected politics," Trump said.

"This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation," said Mills in a statement after the Department of Education (DOE) warned the DOE in Maine that it would investigate the issue.

Following the conclusion of the investigation, the Education Department declared that Maine had violated the Title IX anti-discrimination law by permitting transgender girls to participate on girls' sports teams, giving the state just 10 days to concede to a list of demands or face repercussions from the Justice Department.
