Donald Trump travels to Maine amid protests and a pandemic with the state's Democratic governor telling him to 'check his inflammatory rhetoric at the door' and GOP senator Susan Collins refusing to go

After Friday's Rose Garden press conference, President Trump will board Air Force One and head to Maine amid protests over the death of George Floyd and the coronavirus pandemic.

Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, asked the president on Thursday to 'check his inflammatory rhetoric at the door,' while begging demonstrators to exercise proper social distancing if they decide to come out in support or opposition of Trump.

The president will make two stops in the state. First, he'll talk to commercial fishermen in Bangor and then head to Guilford, where he'll tour the headquarters of Puritan Medical Products, which used $75.7 million under the Defense Production Act to produce swabs for COVID-19 testing.

Some of these governors are so full of themselves.

I’m firmly convinced that Facebook and Twitter need to be shut down for the good of the country.

Gov. LePage is one of the best arguments AGAINST term limits.

This Mills woman seems to be as much a tinpot dictator as the tinpot dictators in the larger states. She doesn’t get as much attention because she’s in remote, though beautiful, Maine.

Great that Trump is going to be meeting commercial fishermen, though.

Trump should just visit the red states. These people were attacking him immediately after the jobs report. He offered rats an olive branch this morning. They don’t want it. He should make it clear that if they want to continue to riot, spread corona, and keep your states shut down the red states will move forward without you. He shouldn’t send the military. If they don’t want the help it’s on their states.

Social distancing, unless you’re at The George funeral rally.

Hey Maine- Fix your state- boot those two to the curb the next election- You are a great state, but sadly you are in decline- rapidly declining due ot socialist policies and a republican that might as well be liberal- get a real republican in there- Watch your state grow and succeed-

A Maniac is a person who leaves Maine- (only these days- there is more and more incentive to leave there- thanks to the destructive liberal polices of the past- but so far- it’s still a great state- and those that leave are Maniacs-)

[[He should make it clear that if they want to continue to riot, spread corona, and keep your states shut down the red states will move forward without you. ]]

And that federal money will NOT be coming their way when they later declare their state needs to be bailed out because of disaster that they themselves brought on their state-

Trump should absolutely visit every state that was over aggressive on the lockdowns.

Collins, like the rest of the limp spine DC “hostage” GOP class always misread the climate. They do so because they live and breathe for the approval of the DC elitist set. They cower at the fake media.

Right now they are reading that everybody hates Trump because of the riots. They believe that he is responsible for them.

They fail to read that everyone who has seen their businesses destroyed by the lockdown is SCREAMING about the fact that nobody can come into their stores or restaurants yet can protest and riot en masse. They are also SCREAMING because said looters and rioters can further destroy their businesses even if they are managing to survive.

Chaos is on nobody’s agenda who isn’t already a dyed in the wool Trump hating democrat drone. I don’t care what Mattis or any other perfumed general prince says.

Disgusting. So weak and disgusting.

But on the bright side, this reminds all of us why we supported Trump in the first place. These people have forsaken us, utterly.

I’m for his continuing to offer aid to the blue states, so that when they try to blame him for anything covid and protest related, he can turn it back on them.

She did good with her Kavanaugh speech. The only thing I remember that’s good.

Since the Democrat/media-led coup attempt is ongoing, I support President Trump in rounding up all these communist traitors and shipping them to Gitmo, for military tribunals and summary execution. They've murdered the Republic; go full Pinochet on them, Mr. President!

The Democrat Party/Left is all-in on stopping Trump’s re-election. As nothing else has worked over the past three years, the Democrat Party/Left has turned to nationwide violence and will stop at nothing ... including even the most recent petty torment by Maine’s little-piece-of-fluff governor.
