Maine governor threatens President Trump with court action over male in female sports

| February 23, 2025

President Donald Trump spoke at a governor’s summit held at the White House. A video segment shown on social media shows Trump talking about males participating in female sports. Trump singled out Maine and called for Maine’s governor. After she voiced her presence, Trump warned her to comply with the order banning males from female sports. Trump warned her that Maine could lose federal funding if they continued their policy. Maine’s governor threatened Trump with court action:

From The Federalist:

“You better comply, because otherwise you’re not getting any … federal funding,” Trump told Mills at a governors’ summit at the White House on Friday. “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.”

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

Immediately following the exchange, the Department of Education sent a letter to Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin over “allegations that it continues to allow male athletes to compete in girls’ interscholastic athletics and that it has denied female athletes female-only intimate facilities, thereby violating federal antidiscrimination law.”

The investigation includes an inquiry into a Maine school district where a male student who claims to be a female at Greely High School competed against girls and stole first place in the girls’ pole vaulting championship.

The Department of Education told schools across the country to drop their policies allowing men in women’s sports and DEI initiatives because they violate civil rights law, including Title IX. The department threatened to revoke federal education funding from any state or locality that does not comply, as Trump promised to do with Maine specifically on Thursday. Maine’s K-12 schools serve to lose $250 million, according to the Portland Press Herald.

I believe Trump tried to explain the concept of FAFO to the Maine governor. Now the FO is on the way. Enjoy.

She is being applauded for having the balls to defy Trump.
Wait….what?

Deckie

Actual applause? Or tard spasms?

5JC

More curious about her having balls.

I call it political constipation. That’s when Shit backs up in your brain and you get that look!

It didn’t seem to be a problem when Obama and Biden threatened to withhold federal dollars to states that won’t follow their policies.

Wasn’t a problem in the eighties when Reagan threatened to withhold federal highway funds from states that wouldn’t raise the legal drinking age to 21. IIRC, Wyoming sent him a check for the full amount they’d received. Said they wouldn’t submit to federal extortion. They eventually caved but the point was made.

Wasn’t a problem in the 70s either when the national speed limit went to 55 for all.

But.it.was.for.the.abortions. Unless it was gun control in which case it was for the children.

Hack Stone

Gun control, to save the children we didn’t have aborted.

How quickly libs forget.

Trump should re-open Loring or at least threaten to.
The jet fuel pipeline that runs from Searsport on the coast is
still intact and recently suggested for NG from Canada but
libs hate NG.

Libs can learn a new trade…coal mining, the old fashioned way.

Greedy h.s. doesnt care because they beat the other H.S.’s in the pole vaulting. The fuckin A-Hole female pretender never came in at first place at his old h.s in pole vaulting against other men. What a fuckin shitbird along with the governor.

The whole Democrat party is sham. The party that “protects” women actively works against them. They can’t define a woman, so that makes sense. Dems love to beat up on women, steal their awards, and let perverts into female spaces. It doesn’t work the other way because guys can’t be threatened by a wanna-be ‘man’.

SFC D

In order for the Dems to “protect women”, they must first create threats to women, and also create “women”. This plan has worked well for race hustlers for decades, they just adapted the previous OPORD.

Yeah, still waiting for the NFL’s first trans Middle Linebacker………………

Marine0331

“He” would be 5’10” and 170lbs and the NFL would rule that the running back would have to fall down when “it” tackles you, you know, so that the back is being inclusive.

Stacey Abrams looks about right.

Marine 0331

Shes certainly fugly enough to be a linebacker.

Sad when a poor little boy has to compete against a little girl but loses.

e.

Poor baby has to compete against girls…? But loses! How embarrassing.

I am pretty sure other governors attending are guilty of their states doing the same thing. This was a shot across their bow to take heed. Gov. Scott of Vermont was there and hopefully he will see to it that things change in the Green Mtn State.

Shouldn’t she be on the stupid people of the week also?

All week.

Interesting, when a (nominally) female politician doesn’t care to protect young women.

A level of disgusting behavior that only a (D)emented (D)epraved (D)isgusting person could exhibit.

I’ll just leave this here:

IIRC, she’s a butch.

A little over three hours after Mills mouthed off, the DoJ Civil Rights Division filed suit against the State of Maine and Gov. Janet Mills. Enjoy whatever is left of your career as a politician, Crone.

5JC

They are literally the whitest state in the country, however a lot of African immigrants were moved there under Biden.

AW1 Rod

It began LONG before Biden, when the Catholic Charities (one of the useless NGOs now getting the well-deserved axe) started dumping Somalis into the state in the late ’90s. Lewiston and Portland are little Mogadishu, now.

Yes. I stand corrected.

Trump should just drop a huge steaming pile of Phil Monkress on her yard.

In other news Congress has its highest approval rating in years, sort of.

Among their own parties; Democrats are polling at record lows (32%) and Republicans at record highs (79%). It averages out to a overall net improvement for the Congress.

Don’t worry it won’t be on the tv news.

Hmmm. I don’t a flying F about his degree from Penn State but, otherwise, his credentials look pretty good.

Let Michael Douglas service her… he seems to have more immunity than SARC IDC.

One would think it would have taken years to make the progress we appear to be making. Even if half of this stuff doesn’t stick we made huge step in the right direction.

Odie

Nope.
