To those who rejected Trump’s victory, I say:
• The people of this nation have spoken loud and clear.
• We reject radical left policy.
• We don’t want open borders, but welcome those who enter legally.
• We are not confused by gender identity. We were born male or female. If there is any confusion, check your biological birth certificate.
• We don’t want less police. We need more.
• We don’t need mandated electric vehicles. We have plenty of oil to drill, and natural gas for our needs.
• We believe prayer should be back in our schools.
• We believe this nation was founded by imperfect men, who were led by a just and holy God, who gave them His wisdom to write our Constitution.
Even many formerly Democrat states had a big swing toward Trump. This might be a good time for people to rethink their policies.
While Trump is a coarse and abrasive man at times, I would like to point out that God has used many such men throughout history to lead nations. One that comes to mind is Cyrus in the Old Testament, who God used to help Israel rebuild their ruined city, even though he was an unbeliever. Trump has publicly stated his belief in God.

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.
