Maine Gov. Janet Mills stood up to President Trump on Friday, telling the president to his face: “See you in court.”

The two tangled when Trump met with the nation’s governors, singling out Maine for refusing to comply with the president’s executive order withholding federal funding for states that allow transgender women to compete in women’s school sports.

“The NCAA has complied immediately, by the way. That’s good. But I understand Maine – is Maine here? The governor of Maine?” Trump said.

“Yeah, I’m here,” responded Mills, a Democrat.

Asked by Trump if she would abide by the executive order, Mills responded, “I’m going to comply with state and federal law.”

“Well, we are the federal law,” the president retorted. “Well, you better do it. You better do it. Because you’re not gonna get any federal funding at all if you don’t.”

Trump then boasted about his performance in Maine in the 2024 election while serving a warning to Mills.

“And, by the way, you’re population – even though it’s somewhat liberal, although I did very well there – it doesn’t want men playing in women’s sports,” he said. “So, you better comply because otherwise you’re not getting any federal funding.”

Mills shot back: “See you in court.”

Trump welcomed the opportunity.

“Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one,” the president said, before claiming Mills’ position on trans issues doesn’t bode well for her political future.

“And enjoy your life after, governor,” Trump said, “because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”
