Trump threatens Dem governor as part of demand for a 'full throated apology'

Seemingly out of nowhere Donald Trump renewed his war with the governor of Maine who stood up to him at a White House luncheon over a month ago.

In late November the president berated Gov. Janet Mills (D) in front of reporters when he insisted she follow his directive on banning trans youth athletes by telling her, "Well, we are the federal law. You better do it. You better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't."

After he added, "And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports, so you better comply because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding," she calmly shot back, "We'll see you in court."

On Saturday morning, the still-smarting Trump took to Truth Social to complain that he has yet to receive an apology.

"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," he wrote.

He then added, "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. 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!!! DJT"
