Isn’t the job of government to make our lives better? How is this president making anyone’s life better?
He said he might be dictator on Day One, but he seems to be continuing in that regard. In taking away the security details from anyone who has apposed it, he seems to be saying, “I hope you die.” By putting a spending freeze monies for Meals on Wheels, fuel assistance and Head Start, among other much-needed programs, is he saying, “I don’t care.” Is he going to use that money to pursue his prosecution of immigrants? Or to give tax breaks to the rich, who don’t need his help.
What kind of country are we becoming? What kind of president have we elected? Will we ever be given the chance to vote again? That day can’t come soon enough.

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.
