Trump demands ‘full-throated apology’ from Maine gov on trans sports flap to settle funding dispute — even as universities back down
NY Post ^ | March 22, 2025 | Ryan King

President Trump on Saturday demanded a “full-throated” apology from Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) before his administration can settle its dispute with the state for defying his executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports.

The University of Maine System (UMS) backed down earlier this week and promised to follow the executive order on transgender competition, but Trump suggested the dispute over federal funding won’t be resolved until Mills’ mea culpa.

“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“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.”

Looks like a five o’clock shadow developing. The creature depicted looks like it swallowed something really foul. Crow? But probably too smug to apologize.

Desperate Democrats are brazenly challenging President Trump in every way possible, even to his face (like that deranged Democrat Governor of Maine at the White House luncheon in front of an entire crowd of state governors and the media). Reminds me of that movie, "A Few Good Men," when Col. Nathan Jessup told his subordinate officer, "Don't ever question my orders in front of another officer." Same thing. And Trump now demanding an apology from that deranged Democrat Maine Governor is the same as Col. Nathan Jessup demanding from Tom Cruise's character: "You have to ask me nicely." LOL.

Democrat women (such as Maine's Democrat Governor) enthusiastically support grown men beating up women in sports. Doesn't even one Democrat consider that misogynist and sexist?

What about women's rights? Hey, crazy Democrats, don't women have the right to compete in sports without men beating them up?

All 75 Million kamaLa/Tampon Tim Walz-voters are totally lost at sea ... they just say random idiotic stuff with a straight face (thinking everyone will believe them).

Insane Democrats have truly lost their marbles.
