Trump rails about Gov. Gavin "Newscum" and men in women sports [1]

Unsatisfied with his crusade against Maine and Gov. Janet Mills over trans in women sports, Trump has decided it is time to show how big he is by taking on California and Gov. Gavin Newsom.
There is no doubt that this diatribe was written by Trump. Sections all in caps, and words in quote marks to deligitemize them.
In Maine, it was about two trans high school athletes. In California, it took only one to set Trump off.
"California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum..."
Doesn't even bother to call him Governor. Just uses his silly derogatory "Newscum" to show how uncompletely non-presidential he is, and mentally unfit to be President.
"... continues to ILLEGALLY allow 'MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN'S SPORTS.'"
He sure doesn't like is executive order to be ignored. The king's edict must be followed.
"This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won 'everything' and is now qualified to compete in the 'State Finals' next weekend."
He seems to be, although no one can be sure, talking about AB Hernandez, who came in second in the long jump last week in the California Interscholastic Federation's Southern Section Masters track and field meet.
So, Hernandez did not win "everything," but there are still people upset that Hernandez is competing at all.
"As a Male, he was less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable." She came in second.
"THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS."
No one is out to deliberately harm or embarrass girls. The state makes the competition rules and if you want to contest them, do so, and find if they are fair or not. Going ballistic after the event is not fair to anybody.
"Please be advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to."
Apparently, Donald didn't get the memo that California has the fourth largest economy in the world, ahead of Japan. If California decided not to send money to the Federal government, you're looking at a massive government deficit. Seeing as how California gives more than they receive, and keeps all those red state MAGA idiots supplied with more than they deserve, maybe Trump should shut up about this one.
The problem is that Governor Newsom has broken with other Democratic leaders and said that transgender athletes are unfair. Newsom has suddenly decided to take the wrong stance on many issues recently.
"I will speak to him today to find out which way he wants to go???"
What's with the triple question mark at the end of the sentence? He's lost track of what he's talking about, which is usual.
"In the meantime, I am ordering local authorities, if necessary, to not allow the transitioned person to compete in the State Finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!"
Trump, of course, has no power at all to strong arm local authorities. It's all up to the California Interscholastic Federation. If the trans athlete is following their rules, then no one has anything to complain about. If you don't like it, ask for the rules to be changed. If you lose, stop fighting it.
This is an issue that polarizes people way too easily. If there was a way to create some sort of handicap to deal with it, I would support that. But there is no way to come up with that for every sport. This is one of those things where if Trump is against it, I must automatically be for it.
If life was fair, Donald Trump wouldn't be president.
