Boycott Trump visit 

To the Editor;

In the June 2 BDN article concerning Trump’s visit to Guilford on Friday,  Gov. Janet Mills is quoted as asking him to tone down his rhetoric and not foment “seeds of distrust.” She also stated that his visit could cause “security problems.”

Per his usual “I’ll show you” attitude, he said she had “probably talked me into it,” instead of a more rational response, which would have been to perhaps cancel the trip.

I am wondering how large Trump thinks Guilford is, or, for that matter, how many people there are in Maine all together when he says he expects “a tremendous crowd.” Is he aware that only this week the state was opened up to groups of up to 50 in one place?

Sen. Susan Collins, our only Republican senator, will not accompany Trump on his visit. That might be telling. 

Instead of large crowds, the citizens of Maine should boycott Trump’s visit and pay him no attention in the media. He needs to stay in Washington and take care of business there. We do not need him in Maine, without his mask, using Guilford as a photo op.
