'I’m finished with this stiff': Trump flips out on Ohio's GOP governor
Reacting to the news that Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a ban on gender-affirming care in his state, Donald Trump raged at the popular Ohio Republican and let him know he would no longer be welcome at his rallies.
On Friday DeWine declared he would not sign a bill from the GOP-dominated legislature that would not only ban gender-affirming care for residents of Ohio but also those from neighboring states who are forced to travel because their own states have blocked them.
Announcing his decision, the Ohio Republican explained, "This bill would impact a very small number of Ohio’s children. But for those children who face gender dysphoria, the consequences of this bill could not be more profound. Ultimately I believe this is about protecting human life. Many parents have told me that their child would not have survived, would be dead today, if they had not received the treatment they received from one of Ohio’s children’s hospitals.”

News of the DeWine decisions set Trump off on his Truth Social platform where he called DeWine a "stiff" doing the bidding of the "Radical Left."
He wrote, "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 (sic)."
"I’m finished with this 'stiff.' What was he thinking. The bill would have stopped child mutilation, and prevented men from playing in women’s sports. Legislature will hopefully overturn. Do it FAST!!!" he added.
