President Trump vowed to impose hefty fines on California after a transgender athlete won a high school track and field championship, stirring up national controversy.

Trump called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) over the situation, saying he knows the administration could enforce penalties for allowing the athlete to compete.

“A Biological Male competed in California Girls State Finals, WINNING BIG, despite the fact that they were warned by me not to do so. As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, large scale fines will be imposed!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The Justice Department threatened to take legal action against California public schools on Monday, arguing the state’s bylaw the allowed the transgender athlete to compete violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution and discriminated against athletes on the basis of sex, The New York Times reported.

Let him try!

She was duly elected by the people of Delaware.

10. In a democracy, you have to have a law that has been broken, specifying the fines

And Trump's tame Republicans have been spectacularly lazy in Congress, so I doubt there is a law specifying fines.

Trump can try suing, and getting the Supreme Court to say the Californian laws are against the Constitution, or that they've decided to rule on who is allowed to compete in sports, but that wouldn't produce a fine, just a decision on "who won" and the rules to follow in the future.
