Maine governor challenges Trump over trans athletes (BIG MISTAKE)

President Trump hosted governors on Friday at the White House for the annual meeting of state leaders. Among the topics discussed was Trumpโ€™s executive order banning men from participating in girlโ€™s and womenโ€™s sports. President Trump noted that โ€œthe NCAA has complied immediately.โ€

Trump asked Democrat Maine Gov. Janet Mills is she would comply with his executive order. Mills responded, โ€œIโ€™m going to comply with state and federal law.โ€

The president said Mills had โ€œbetter do it because youโ€™re not going to get any federal funding.โ€ He added โ€œMaineโ€™s โ€œpopulation doesnโ€™t want men playing in womenโ€™s sports.โ€

Gov. Mills scowled, saying,โ€ Weโ€™re going to follow the law, sir.โ€ But her parting shot was, โ€œSee you in court.โ€ Mills said Maine will not be intimidated by the Presidentโ€™s threats.

Big mistake. She just played into the presidentโ€™s wheelhouse.

Not only did the president tell the governor he was looking forward to it, he predicted the end of Millsโ€™ political career for opposing his executive order.

In the 2024 presidential election, Harris beat Trump by only 7 percentage points in a blue state, thus splitting the stateโ€™s electoral votes. A solid blue state for over 30 years, Maine turned partly red, as many formerly blue states did.

Gov. Mills may have overplayed her hand, considering how many Mainers voted for Trump, and by extension, his policies. President Trump promised to see her in court.
