President Donald Trump threatened on Tuesday to involve local police if California continued to allow a transgender athlete to participate in the sports of girls.
Trump quoted the organic male athlete in California who will participate in the length of the girls and the triple jump in the state championships next week. The athlete recorded a distance from 40-04.75 to triple jump, compared to the finalist of 39-06.00. During the long jump, the athlete recorded a distance of 19-03.50, while the finalist succeeded 19-00.75.

The transgender athlete continued to perform in California under the events of the Interscholastic Federation (CIF) of California despite the executive order of Trump to prohibit organic men from participating in the sports of girls and women.
Trump called California Governor Gavin Newsom in an article on Truth Social.
“California, under the direction of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to illegally allow” men to play in female sports “. This week, a male athlete in transition, during a major event, won” everything “and is now qualified to participate in the” state final “next weekend”, wrote Trump. ” Less than means.
“It is not fair and totally degrading for women and girls. Please be informed by the present that federal large-scale funding will be retained, perhaps permanently, if the decree on this subject is not respected. The governor, himself, said that it was” unfair “.”
Newsom had previously talked about transgender participation in girls sports in March with the eminent conservative Charlie Kirk.
“The young man who is about to win the state championship during the long jump in female sports, that should not happen,” said Kirk. “You, as governor, should go out and say no. Would you do something like that? Wouldn’t you say men in female sports?”

“I think it is a problem of equity. I fully agree with you. It is a problem of equity – it is deeply unfair,” Newsom told Kirk. “I do not fight with the problem of equity. I totally agree with you.”
Kirk insisted Newsom to condemn the athlete in question of the secondary school Jurupa Valley after the athlete won another event at the time. Newsom did not directly deal with victory, but said “it is a problem of equity”.
“So it’s easy to call injustice,” he said. “There is also a humility and a grace. … These poor are more likely to commit suicide, to take anxiety and depression. And the way people speak to vulnerable communities is a problem with which I also have trouble.
“So, the two things that I can hold in my hand. How can we solve this problem with the type of decency that I think, you know, is inherent in you but not always expressed on the question?”
Newsom also explained his point of view at a press conference on April 2 when asked if there should be a law to ban men from participating in the sports of girls and women.

“And I am about as transparent about this subject as anyone there, in particular in my party, on this subject, and insofar as someone can and do it in a respectful and responsible way and could find a kind of balance, then I am open to this discussion.
“And that, I think, was colored and armed by the right to be 10 times, 100 times greater than it is and therefore I focus on a myriad of other problems of this state. And insofar as someone could find this good balance, I would adopt this conversation and the dignity which, hopefully, presents itself in this conversation, meaning humanity around this conversation, not politics around this conversation.”
Trump, in his social article on Tuesday, wrote that he would talk about it with Newsom.
“I’m going to talk to him today to find out in which direction he wants to do? He wrote.

PK Press Club Digital contacted the Newsom and CIF office to comment.
The Trump administration has already warned the CIF and the high school of the consequences of the athlete to allow the situation. The Federation was the subject of an additional examination when its officials would have forced athletes to withdraw shirts which read “Protect Girls Sports” to the preliminaries of the South section on May 10.
