President Trump made it clear that he won’t tolerate defiance when Maine Governor Janet Mills attempted to challenge his executive order barring biological men from competing in women’s sports, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
During a National Governors Association (NGA) event at the White House, Mills quickly found herself on the receiving end of Trump’s no-nonsense approach.
As previously reported, Trump signed a sweeping executive order that enforces Title IX protections based on biological sex, ensuring that men cannot take opportunities away from female athletes.
President Trump made it clear that he won’t tolerate defiance when Maine Governor Janet Mills attempted to challenge his executive order barring biological men from competing in women’s sports, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
During a National Governors Association (NGA) event at the White House, Mills quickly found herself on the receiving end of Trump’s no-nonsense approach.
As previously reported, Trump signed a sweeping executive order that enforces Title IX protections based on biological sex, ensuring that men cannot take opportunities away from female athletes.
The order directs the Department of Education to withhold federal funding from schools that allow men to compete in women’s sports. If the department is dismantled, other federal agencies will continue enforcing the policy.
Despite the clear directive, several Democrat governors, eager to appease radical activists, declared their intention to ignore Trump’s order. Mills joined the list, defiantly issuing a statement vowing that Maine “will not be intimidated” by Trump’s “threats.”
She insisted that if Trump withholds federal funding over the issue, her administration, along with Maine’s attorney general, would take “all appropriate and necessary legal action” to restore it.
That declaration didn’t sit well with Trump, and he made sure to call Mills out in front of the entire NGA gathering.
“Is the governor of Maine here?” Trump asked, scanning the room. Mills responded, signaling her presence.
Trump wasted no time getting to the point. “Are you not going to comply with it?” he pressed.
Attempting to sidestep the question, Mills responded, “I am complying with state and federal laws.”
That’s when Trump delivered a brutal reality check.
“We are the federal law,” Trump reminded her, making it clear that states defying the order wouldn’t get a free pass.
The president then warned, “You’d better do it. You better do it. You better comply. Otherwise, you’re not getting any federal funding.”
Mills made it clear she planned to fight back, telling Trump, “We’ll see you in court.”
“Good. That should be a real easy (case) one,” he shot back, making it clear that her position wouldn’t hold up. Then, with his signature bluntness, he added, “And enjoy your life after governor because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”
It was a devastating moment for Mills, who clearly underestimated Trump’s willingness to call out weak leadership right to its face.
Democrats like Mills continue to push radical gender ideology at the expense of women and girls, but Trump’s executive order signals that those days are numbered.
Female athletes have fought hard for their opportunities, and Trump isn’t about to let leftist governors strip them away to pander to the woke mob.
Mills tried to challenge Trump, and in return, she got a lesson in both constitutional authority and political consequences. When you go up against Trump, you’d better come prepared—Mills wasn’t, and it showed.
