President Trump SHREDS Maine’s Far-Left Governor For Failing to Protect Women and Girls

The Federalist: In a jaw-dropping exchange Friday between President Donald Trump and Maine’s Democrat Gov. Janet Mills, Maine taxpayers might find themselves on the hook for Mills’ vanity project: a looming legal battle to defy Trump’s order to stop men from competing in women’s sports.

The exchange happened in the White House as Trump addressed governors from around the country gathered for the Governors Working Session.

Six hours later, the Office of Civil Rights announced they were investigating Maine for Title IX violations.

It’s an outrage to see the governor of Maine defying the wishes of the people who elected but it is typrical of Democrats.

“Is Maine here, the governor of Maine? Are you not going to comply with it?” Trump asked Gov. Janet Mills, striking up a conversation in the middle of his speech.

Mills answered off microphone that Maine will comply with state and federal laws.

“Well, we are the federal law,” Trump said. Mills Said a few single words off microphone, but Trump talked over her. “You better do it. You better do it, because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t. And by the way, your population … doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports. So you better comply, because otherwise you’re not getting any federal funding.”

Mills retorted, “See you in court!”

Trump fired back without missing a beat.

“Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a really easy one,” he said. “And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

It was a shocking and thrilling flex. Trump then turned to the broader audience and repeated what he told Mills.

His speech covered numerous topics, including his Feb. 5 Executive Order to protect women and girls competing in sports, by keeping men and boys who masquerade as women from playing on women’s teams.

Donald Trump Tells Democrat Maine Governor: Comply with Women’s Sports EO or Lose Funding

By: Nick Gilbertson, Breitbart, 21 Feb 2025:

President Donald Trump and Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) had a contentious exchange over her defiance of his executive order protecting women’s sports.

Trump called out the Maine governor at the Governors Working Session at the White House on Friday for opposing the order that aimed to protect women’s sports.

“I signed an executive order banning men from playing in women’s sports. Many Democrats are fighting me on that. I hope you continue because you’ll never win another race,” he told Democrat governors before zoning in on Mills.

The order rewrites Title IX to withhold funds from schools where biologically male athletes can compete with girls and women, as Breitbart News noted.

“Are you not going to comply with it?” Trump asked Mills.

“I’m complying with state and federal laws,” she said.

“Well, we are the federal law,” Trump responded. “Well, you better do it. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”

“And by the way, your population, even though it’s somewhat liberal — although I did very well there — your population doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports,” he added.

Mills said she would see Trump in court, and he declared he looked forward to it.

“That should be a really easy one, and enjoy your life after governor because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics,” he said to conclude the back-and-forth.

Trump said Thursday night as well that he will withhold federal funding from Maine unless it complies with the order.

A New York Times/Ipsos poll published in January found that almost 80 percent of Americans are against biological men competing in women’s sports, while just 18 percent support it.

The poll sampled 2,128 Americans from January 2 through 10 and has a margin of error of ±2.6 percentage points.
