Donald Trump is sick of the political games. He’s taking the gloves off.
And now Trump’s gone nuclear on this top Republican for this stunning betrayal.
On Saturday, former U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Ohio Republican Gov. Mike DeWine for vetoing a measure that would have banned child s*x changes.
House Bill 68 passed with a resounding majority in the state legislature, but DeWine nonetheless chose to veto it on Friday. Biological males could no longer participate in women’s sports, and the statute outlawed juvenile s*x modifications as well.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “DeWine has fallen to the Radical Left. No wonder he gets loudly booed in Ohio every time I introduce him at Rallies, but I won’t be introducing him any more. I’m finished with this ‘stiff.’”
“What was he thinking,” Trump continued. “The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!”
During the 2022 NCAA championships, swimmer Lia Thomas of the University of Pennsylvania sparked controversy in the U.S. by swimming as a woman even though Lia was born a biological male. While competing as a female, the biological man achieved great success, winning the 500-meter final and placing strongly in other events. He had previously ranked at #462 as a male.
Several Republicans, such as Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, voiced their disapproval of DeWine’s veto.
Interestingly, Trump supported DeWine as he ran for reelection in 2022. It seems that this veto is the straw that broke the camel’s back in the eyes of former President Donald Trump.
Governor DeWine’s veto betrays kids and families. The bill would protect Ohio’s children from harmful and experimental puberty blockers, hormones, and sterilizing surgeries, and safeguard a fair and level playing field for young women throughout the state.
It’s astonishing that… https://t.co/DGCXLIYlqA

The political issue surrounding transgenderism has become a major talking point amongst conservative Republicans.
Some Governors like Florida’s Ron DeSantis and South Dakota’s Kristi Noem are brave enough to draw the line at the point when kids are getting involved in the nonsense.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed several anti-transgender bills Wednesday which ban gender-affirming care for minors, ban children from attending drag shows, and target how students learn about and engage with the LGBTQ+ community. https://t.co/UQRPKrT8yN

The radical Left wants everyone to believe that giving drugs designed to literally stop puberty for children is merely “gender-affirming” care. They say that the kids need this care for their mental health.
On the flip side, conservatives suggest that if someone wants to make a medical change after they become an adult, that’s on them. But to want innocent minors to make permanent medical decisions that will impact the rest of their lives is unconscionable.
All over the country there has been a resurgence of parents attending school board meetings as more and more Americans become concerned about how schools are handling the transgenderism issue.
In Virginia, the Loudoun County school board tried to keep the assault of an innocent young girl at the hands of a “transgender girl” student in a bathroom under wraps. The county even had the father of the victim student arrested for speaking out at a school board about this tragedy.
He was eventually outright convicted of a crime for speaking out about his daughter being attacked by another “transgender” student and the school board’s attempts to sweep it under the rug. Many believe that this tragedy reaching national news turned the tides for Republicans in the state of Virginia and led to Glenn Youngkin’s upset win over Democrat Terry McAuliffe back in November of 2021.
Glenn Youngkin eventually pardoned the father, Scott Smith, of his wrongful conviction for merely speaking out about the mishandling of his daughter’s attack.
