President Trump and the Governor of Maine Governor hurled verbal jabs and threats at each other during an explosive clash over transgender athletes during a packed public event at The White House.
The verbal scuffle erupted about an hour into Mr. Trump’s remarks when he turned his attention to his recent EO which requires athletes play on teams that coincide with the sex they were assigned at birth, noting that “the NCAA has complied immediately. He then looked out into the crowd and asked Governor Mills of Maine if she was going to comply with the order.
“Is Maine here? The Governor of Maine?” he asked before Ms. Mills made her presence known.

“Are you going to comply with it,” he asked. Ms. Mills replied by telling the President that her state would “comply with state and federal law.”

The response immediately put Mr. Trump on the defensive, declaring, “Well, we are the federal law.”
He then demanded her compliance saying, “You better do it because you’re not going to get any Federal funding at all if you don’t and 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. So you better comply because otherwise you’re not getting any Federal Funding.”
The tit-for-tat quickly escalated as Ms. Mills spouted back, “I’ll see you in court.”

“Good, I’ll see you in court. I look forward to that,” Mr. Trump said in response. “That should be a real easy one.”
He then hit the governor with a verbal jab in an attempt to get the final word.
“And enjoy your life after governor, because I don’t think you’ll be in elected politics.”

After the event, Ms. Mills double down on her threat of legal findings should Mr. Trump pull the plug on the state’s funding.

“If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides,” she said in a released written statement
“The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the President’s threats.

Trump Will Block $280M+ in Federal Education Spending Over Maine’s Failure to Protect Female-Only Spaces, Sports
"President Trump announces Maine will not receive federal funding until they comply with the executive order keeping men out of women's sports. Moral clarity & accountability are back in the White House. Praise God." - Riley Gaines

These federal funds are project and policy specific, many are for after school gatherings or absolutely absent of real education. Some are blatant indocunation and more than often mean the school must raise money for busing students home for after school events. Strings attached to these funds would give parents and local taxpayers concerns. And there are not included in the school budget presented to the taxpayers. They are grants beyond the regular school budget. Maybe, Mills' contempt will convince President Trump to do away with the US Department of Education. Mills has stepped into a bucket of poop.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
