President Trump doesn’t understand that Maine Gov. Janet Mills has compassion and empathy with the constituents she serves. And Gov. Mills understands that she serves her constituents, not the other way around. The president has much to learn from our governor’s role model.
Gov. Mills has worked as the first woman DA in the country, and then as attorney general. She understands issues her constituents face, and she understands and accepts teenage transgender girls for who they are, and she also understands that suicide has a very high instance in transgender people. She has empathy as a leader and as a person.
Gov. Mills makes Maine a safe place where all our children can thrive.
I hope that once President Trump leaves office he has produced half of the real needs of his constituents that Gov. Mills has provided all Maine children, including Maine’s transgender children.

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.
