Donald Trump is asking a lot from those who are conservative in nature and who believe in law and order to support him. Is his life one of a person who has been influenced by traditional norms and family values? Does he respect the rule of law and order? In addition to inciting a mob to attack the Capitol and being subject to more than $500 million civil judgments, Trump is a two-time divorced, two-time impeached, four-time military draft deferred, five-time indicted, six-time filer for bankruptcy protection and 34-time convicted felon.
Since Donald Trump will not even man up and admit he lost the 2020 presidential election, we must turn the page and move on. He is a deeply flawed character whose judgment during any second, final term could not be trusted. Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and stolen through fraud by Democrats is without any evidentiary support. He is not stable. His unsubstantiated election denial, left unabated, has sadly eroded trust in the democratic process and has the potential to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
