President Trump is now threatening to fine the state of California for allowing a transgender athlete to compete in girls’ sports. Trump made a Truth Social post on Monday night, calling out Governor Gavin Newsom and saying “large scale fines will be imposed.”
It comes after 16-year-old AB Hernandez from Jurupa Valley High School won two medals in the girls’ division at last weekend’s state track and field championships in Clovis. Hernandez’s participation in the track meet has prompted rule changes, federal investigations and previous financial threats from President Trump.
The president says the state allowed a “biological male” to compete in the girls’ state finals despite his previous warning “not to do so.”
