In a TV ad about the economy Trump lies eight times in 30 seconds! The truth is inflation has been dropping steadily, gas prices are falling, interest rates are down, jobs are up by millions, wages are rising, drug prices are lower, the stock market is at an all-time high, and there’s no recession.
Food prices remain painfully high thanks to corporate price gouging. Vice President Harris is going after these greedy guys. Trump has promised them higher tax cuts.
Harris promises to lower the price of gas, food, health care and housing for American families. Trump will cut taxes for the richest 5% and impose tariffs on imports that will raise the cost of living for all of us by 10%.
Take your pick, folks … it looks like a no-brainer to me.

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.
