California just got a harsh wake-up call, and President Trump isn’t playing games. When a biological male competed in the California Girls State Finals for track and field—taking home a major win—Trump’s reaction was swift and unapologetic. In a blistering post on Truth Social, amplified by Benny Johnson on X, Trump called out Governor Gavin Newsom, dubbing him “Gavin Newscum,” and didn’t mince words: “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!!!” For Trump’s loyal supporters, this is the ultimate “FAFO” (F*** Around and Find Out) moment, a clear sign that the President means business when it comes to protecting women’s sports.
The controversy centers on AB Hernandez, a trans athlete who competed under a California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) rule change allowing trans students to participate in sports aligned with their gender identity. The decision came despite Trump’s earlier warning to pull federal funding if California didn’t reverse course—a warning the state ignored. Now, with Hernandez’s victory at the finals in Clovis, Trump is following through, promising heavy fines to hold California accountable. It’s a move that fits perfectly with his ongoing mission to safeguard women’s sports, a cause that’s struck a chord with his base and beyond. An AP-NORC poll from May 2025 found that 7 in 10 Americans believe trans female athletes shouldn’t compete in women’s sports at any level, a sentiment Trump is clearly tapping into.
The firestorm on X says it all. Voices like Gunther Eagleman didn’t hold back, declaring, “Time for Newscum to suffer the consequences,” while The Scoop cheered, “President Trump is DEFENDING women’s sports from California’s radical left insanity!” Outside the event, protesters held signs reading “Save Girls’ Sports,” their frustration palpable. For many, this isn’t just about one race—it’s about the future of fairness in female athletics. The Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into California’s policies for potential Title IX violations only adds fuel to the fire, putting the state in a precarious spot.
Trump’s immediate response isn’t just talk—it’s a warning to other states flirting with similar policies. Push the trans agenda in sports, and there will be consequences. For his supporters, this is a moment of pride, proof that their President fights for what’s right. For California, it’s a bitter lesson in accountability, one they won’t soon forget. The battle over women’s sports is far from over, but Trump’s made his stance crystal clear.
