The fitting welcome for Trump on his Portland visit?
Disavowal, repudiation
By The BDN Editorial Board
The Republican nominee returns to Maine on Thursday, but we cant expect anything resembling a serious policy discussion during his time in Portland.
Trump has proven himself so vapid, so indecent, so dishonest, so superficial and so devoid of intellectual curiosity during his campaign for president that it defies purpose to call on Trump to iron out the details of an unbalanced tax plan or to get serious about addressing the addiction epidemic.
With Trump, theres nothing serious about his run. Theres nothing decent or noble about his candidacy or what motivates it. We cant fathom the thought of someone so narcissistic, so shallow and so immature in charge.
And as November approaches, Trump manages only to reach new lows.

(42,862 posts)1. If Trump were ever elected, he'd never survive the first six months.
He'd be impeached and convicted and removed, or he'd resign, or he'd die (health? hostility? suicide?) or he'd just lose his mind and be committed.
Just predictions and possibilities and expectations. No threats implied, no harm desired. Just logic and observations.

"Days after Inauguration before catastrophe."
I think he'd make it 5 days, but no way does Trump make it all the way through the first weekend, as President.
Does Vegas have a Line on that, yet?
