President Trump and the Maine Governor Have an Explosive Public Dispute

President Trump and the Maine Governor hurled verbal jabs and threats at each other during a public event at The White House over transgender athletes.

The verbal scuffle erupted about an hour after Mr. Trump’s address. He spoke about athletes playing on teams that coincide with the sex they were assigned at birth, noting that “the NCAA has complied immediately. He then asked Governor Mills of Maine if she was going to comply with the order.

“Are you going to comply with it,” he asked. Ms. Mills replied by telling the President that her state would “comply with state and federal law.”

The response immediately put Mr. Trump on the defensive, declaring, “Well, we are the federal law.”

He then demanded her compliance saying, “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. So you better comply because otherwise you’re not getting any Federal Funding.”

Ms. Mills spat back, “I’ll see you in court.”

“Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that,” Mr. Trump said in response. “That should be a real easy one.”

He added, “And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

After the event, Ms. Mills threatened the President.

“If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides,” she said in a released written statement.

“The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the President’s threats.”

Apparently, she won’t be intimidated by the law, women’s rights or common sense either.

I’m no fan of RINO Susan Collins, but it would be just our luck to have the Governor win her seat.

I wonder why she attended. Most Maine people will not know or understand this situation anyways. Nothing out of the northeast surprises me. After I lived there 3 years I started calling them northern hillbillies, but that is an insult to hillbillies, who did much to build the USA. The northeast should join the EU.

FAFO governor. Why do you want to hurt women and girls? You are a bitter angry woman. Resign now and make your state a better place to live.

Typical woke liberal. The first thing from her mouth is lie. “YOU THREATEND ME!” There was no threat, just a simple promise to enforce the constitution and the Law of the Land (which are common sense)!
