President Donald Trump I've faced it The Democratic governor in front of the other governors refused to enforce federal orders banning men in women's sports.
Trump was speaking to a governor's meeting at the White House on Friday. Mills fought back, and the two of them screamed in a short cry.
“And enjoy your life after the governor, because I don't think you're in elected politics.”
“I understand Maine – is Maine here? Governor of Maine?” asked Trump.
“Yeah, I'm here,” Mills said.
“You're not going to comply with that?” he asked in connection with his orders.
“I'm going to follow state and federal law,” she replied.
“Well, I-We're federal law. Well, you better do that, because you won't get federal funds if you don't.” He added. “And by the way, your population, despite it being a bit free, I did very well there, but your population doesn't want men to play in female sports.”
The president poses the same threat of cutting federal funds from Maine on Thursday evening.
“So you'll comply better – because otherwise you don't have federal funds,” Trump continued Friday.
“See you in court,” retorted Mills.
“Like, see you on the court. I look forward to it. It should be really easy,” he said. “And enjoy your life after the governor, because I don't think you're in elected politics.”
That's how the exchange was Posted on social mediaIt quickly went viral.
Mills responded to the threat in a statement he posted before his White House interaction.
“If the President unilaterally attempts to take the benefits of federal funds to schoolchildren in Maine, my administration and the Attorney General will be able to revive all the appropriate and necessary items to restore the funds and the academic opportunities it provides. They will take legal action,” she wrote.
