A Democratic governor beat Donald Trump’s White House in court after what she described as a “jaw dropping” interaction with the president. Now, she’s telling others how to handle him.
Maine Governor Janet Mills appeared on MS NOW on Sunday, and was asked about a moment when she literally and figuratively stood up to the present. Mills stood in a room with others when the president tried to force her to “comply” with rules about trans people in sports.
The incident was in February of 2025, when Mills told the president, “I’ll see you in court,” after he confidently declared, “We are the federal law.”
Mills ended up filing that suit, and the Trump administration quietly backed down, according to a host on the network.
Speaking on MS NOW over the weekend, Mills said it’s “time for the congress” to stand up to Trump’s ICE. In doing so, she notes, “If you don’t stand up to a bully, they never stop. He’s bullying the people.”
Mills then brought her own experience with the president into the equation.
“And when I had that confrontation with the president… when we said we are the federal law, that was a jaw-dropping moment for me and many Americans,” she said. “We know what the constitution says. The constitution says the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, not that he can make up laws across America and terrorize people. That’s not his job.”
