Trump Right again, demands full-throated apology from Maine gov on trans sports flap
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."
