Donald Trump issued a direct threat to Maine Governor Janet Mills during a White House meeting with state governors on Friday, February 21, demanding that she comply with his executive order.

The President of the United States, 78, insisted that Mills enforce his directive, which prohibits transgender women and girls from participating in women’s sports. He warned that failure to do so could result in the loss of federal funding.

“Are you not going to comply with it?” Trump asked the governor.

“I’m complying with state and federal laws,” Mills, 77, responded.

Trump then escalated his warning: “We are federal law, you better do it. You better do it, because you’re not going to get federal funding… Your population doesn’t want men in women’s sports.”

Mills stood firm, replying, “We’ll see you in court.”

“Good. I’ll see you in court. I’ll look forward to that. That should be a real easy one,” Trump said. “And enjoy your life after, governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”
