'You better comply': Trump clashes with Maine's governor over transgender athletes
President Donald Trump sparred with Maine's Democratic governor during a meeting of governors at the White House on Friday, with Gov. Janet Mills telling the Republican president, “We'll see you in court,” over his push to deny federal funding to the state over transgender athletes.
Trump told the governor he looked forward to it, and predicted the end of her political career for opposing his order.
“Is Maine here, the governor of Maine?" he asked.
“I'm here,” she replied.
"Are you not going to comply with it?” he asked.
“I'm complying with state and federal laws," Mills replied.
Trump responded, “We are the federal law." He again threatened the state's federal funding and said Maine may be a Democratic state but its residents largely agree with him on this issue.
“We’re going to follow the law," she said.
“You'd better comply," Trump warned. "Otherwise, you're not getting any federal funding."
“We’ll see you in court,” the governor replied.
“Good, I'll see you in court. I 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."
