After a jaw-dropping exchange Friday between President Donald Trump and Maine’s stubborn Democrat Gov. Janet Mills, Maine taxpayers might find themselves on the hook for Mills’ vanity project: a looming legal battle to defy Trump’s order to stop men from competing in women’s sports.
The exchange happened in the White House as Trump addressed governors from around the country gathered for the Governors Working Session.
His speech covered numerous topics, including his Feb. 5 Executive Order to protect women and girls competing in sports, by keeping men and boys who masquerade as women from playing on women’s teams.
Trump said the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) complied with the order “immediately,” but not the state of Maine.
