Earlier this afternoon, Donald Trump landed in Maine--after a week where he tweeted that protestors should be shot, announced that he was instructing the US military to overtake American cities, and ordered the tear-gassing of peaceful protestors in Washington for a photo-op. Now, he wants to use Maine’s essential frontline workers as a backdrop for a “victory” celebration even while the pandemic rages, unchecked.
Trump chose Maine because that’s the home of Susan Collins--the last Republican in the New England delegation. He thinks that by visiting there, he can put his finger on the scale and maintain control over the Senate.
Well we have news for Trump: it won’t work. And we’re partnering with the Maine Dems to make sure of it.
