9. He just can't NOT be a raging asshole, can he?

He really gets a thrill out of causing chaos and pissing people off.

I don't just want to see him lose in November. I want to see his life and the lives of every member of his family (except Barron and Tiffany) fall apart spectacularly, publicly and brutally.

11. He's going to Maine to bail out his friend and supporter, Susan Collins. I'm sure she is grateful.

12. Interesting

"The president replied that people like "their president".

So why isn't he out talking to them in front of the WH instead of hiding in a bunker and telling the governors to "get tough on the protesters" saying it's not his job?

He is a coward, plain and simple.

13. Why Maine?

He ain't getting the one electoral vote this time.

15. People like their president? Has he been paying attention to the same riots we have?

[mainer]

16. Where's he staying? There's no Trump hotel here.

And I bet Susan Collins doesn't want him to come.

We sure don't want to foot the bill for his security.

17. Maybe she could close the airport

[liberaltrucker]

20. Can the Governor refuse to provide security?
