Trump thinks he and his friends are above the law

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Hey, Susan Collins: has Donald Trump “learned his lesson” yet? Last night, Trump thumbed his nose at the rule of law by commuting the sentence of friend and former campaign advisor Roger Stone. Stone was convicted, by a jury, and sentenced to jail for lying …

Fair weather President

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Trump was scheduled to hold a rally in Portsmouth, NH, just miles from the Maine border, tomorrow evening. Trump postponed the rally because of the “big storm” coming in. The forecast is 78 degrees and partly cloudy. What I think really happened is that Trum…

This can't be right

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Did you know that the Trump administration is actively working to strike down the ACA...in the middle of a pandemic...at a time of record unemployment? That would kick 23 million Americans off of their health care. Who would go along with this plan? Well, Su…
