A heated exchange erupted at the National Governors Association session at the White House when President Donald Trump confronted Maine’s Democratic Governor Janet Mills over transgender athletes, warning that federal funding will be cut off if the state refuses to comply with his executive order.
🎥 The exchange was caught on video, adding fuel to an already intense debate over transgender participation in women’s sports.
🔥 Trump Stands Firm on Transgender Athlete Ban
🔴 Trump called out Mills directly at the event, demanding to know whether she would enforce his recent executive order banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports, including at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
🔴 Mills pushed back, citing state law: “I’m complying with state and federal law.”
🔴 Trump’s response? “We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get federal funding.” 💥
🔴 Mills wasn’t backing down either: “See you in court.”
🔴 Trump fired back: “Enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.” 👀
🚨 Maine Pushes Back Against Trump’s Ultimatum
✔️ Maine’s Attorney General Aaron Frey slammed Trump’s move as “disturbing” and vowed legal action: “The rule of law still applies in this country, and I will do everything in my power to defend Maine’s laws.”
✔️ Mills declared that her administration “will not be intimidated by the President’s threats.”
✔️ The Maine Principals’ Association has refused to ban transgender athletes, citing state anti-discrimination laws.
🔥 Trump’s Executive Order: A Game Changer?
📌 Trump’s ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports is one of his most controversial policies yet, aiming to reverse Biden-era protections and reshape federal policy on gender and athletics.
📌 The executive order applies to all federally funded schools and extends to the 2028 Olympics.
📌 Can Trump enforce this nationwide? That’s the legal battle brewing—and this video showdown just made it even bigger.
