Donald Trump Says Maine Won't Receive Federal Funds Over Trans Athletes OrderIan MillerFebruary 20, 2025 10:05 PM EST
One of President Donald Trump's first actions after taking office in January was to protect women's sports. Trump issued an executive order prohibiting biological males from competing in women's athletic competitions, a policy with near-universal support among the American public.But as is so often the case when the right enacts laws or makes executive governing decisions, far left states are deciding they can ignore orders they don't like. Just recently, in Maine, a trans-identifying male won a state title in girls' pole-vaulting, beating a female competitor by a whopping six inches."I heard men are still playing in Maine," Trump said at a Thursday press conference. "Is anybody here from Maine. Ah, who is that? Is that the governor? (Laughs). Well, I hate to tell you this: we’re not going to give them any federal money. They are still saying that we want men to play in women’s sports and I cannot believe that they are doing that. We’re not going to give them any federal funding. None whatsoever, until they clean that up."
