Editorial: It’s All Trump’s Fault — Except It Isn’t
By Jon Fetherston

For years, Maine Democrats have relied on one tired political trick: blame Donald J. Trump.

If electricity rates are crushing families, blame Trump. If schools are failing, blame Trump. If homelessness is exploding, blame Trump. If drug dealing is happening in the open, blame Trump. If MaineCare fraud is bleeding taxpayers dry, blame Trump. If working families cannot get ahead, blame Trump.

That is the message Janet Mills, Graham Platner, Shenna Bellows, Nirav Shah, Troy Jackson, Hannah Pingree, Chellie Pingree, and the rest of Maine’s Democratic establishment want voters to swallow.

Everything wrong with Maine and America, they insist, is Donald Trump’s fault.

But it isn’t.

At some point, Maine people need to stop accepting the excuses and ask the question Democrats desperately want to avoid: who has actually been in charge of this state?

For the last eight years, Janet Mills and Democrats in Augusta have controlled the direction of Maine government. They have controlled the agencies. They have controlled the budgets. They have controlled the priorities. They have controlled the policies.

And the results are not just disappointing.
They are disastrous.

Maine has a massive fraud problem. MaineCare fraud and abuse did not appear out of nowhere. It was allowed to fester under a state government that expanded programs, weakened accountability, ignored warning signs, and failed to protect both taxpayers and vulnerable Mainers who depend on legitimate services.

That happened under Janet Mills and the Democrats in Augusta.

Maine has some of the highest electricity rates in the country, leaving families, seniors, and small businesses struggling to keep the lights on. The same Democrats who lecture Mainers about compassion have backed energy policies that make it more expensive to heat homes, run businesses, and live in this state.

That happened under Janet Mills and the Democrats in Augusta.

Rural Maine has been hammered by illegal Chinese-linked marijuana grows, criminal networks, and the consequences of a state government that failed to respond aggressively enough while communities were being overrun. The so-called “Triad weed” scandal is not Donald Trump’s fault.

That happened under Janet Mills and the Democrats in Augusta.

Maine’s schools are failing too many children. Reading scores are down. Academic performance has slipped. Too many kids cannot read at grade level, and too many families are trapped in a system that protects bureaucracy before students.

Who has been in charge?
Janet Mills and the Democrats.

Special needs clients and vulnerable Mainers have been left in unacceptable conditions in a system that should be held to the highest standard. Families have watched as the state’s human services bureaucracy became larger, more expensive, and less accountable. When care providers fail, when oversight collapses, and when vulnerable people are neglected, the politicians running the system do not get to blame Washington.

They own it.

Then there is the economy. How is that “no tax on tips” or “no tax on overtime” working out for Maine workers? Who stood in the way of giving working people more breathing room? Once again, Janet Mills and the Democrats.

How is your car insurance bill? How is your rent? How are your grocery bills? How are your property taxes?

Democrats have controlled Maine while the cost of living has exploded. Yet every election cycle, they act as if they just arrived on the scene and discovered the wreckage.

They did not discover the mess.
They made it.

Maine’s homelessness crisis has grown worse. Open-air drug dealing has become more visible. Needles are showing up in parks, on city streets, near bus stops, and around libraries. Places that should belong to families, children, seniors, and taxpayers have been surrendered to disorder.

This did not happen by accident. It happened because Democratic leaders embraced policies that excuse failure, tolerate chaos, and punish the law-abiding public.

See the pattern?

Democrats control the state. Democrats run the agencies. Democrats pass the budgets. Democrats write the rules. Then, when the consequences arrive, Democrats point at Donald Trump.

It is pathetic. It is dishonest. And Maine people are tired of it.

Now, to be clear, many conservatives hoped for more from the Trump administration. They wanted more accountability. They wanted more investigations. They wanted corrupt actors exposed. They wanted people who abused taxpayers, defrauded programs, endangered vulnerable people, and profited from broken systems held responsible.

That work should start now.

And it should start in Maine.

Because “the way life should be” is becoming harder to recognize by the day. Maine families are paying more, getting less, and watching their state decline while the people in charge pretend they are powerless victims of national politics.

They are not powerless.
They are responsible.

Janet Mills and Maine Democrats have had years to lead. They have had years to fix the problems. They have had years to protect taxpayers, restore order, improve schools, lower costs, and clean up fraud.
Instead, they gave Maine excuses
.
Blaming Trump is not a plan. It is not leadership. It is not accountability.
It is a smokescreen.

And if the fraud, abuse, and corruption that have flourished under this administration are ever fully exposed, Janet Mills may look good in orange.

Maine voters should stop falling for the act.

@LocalPoliticsis @TheMaineWire Thank you for writing the op ed that I have wanted to for months, but haven’t gotten around to. 1 million times, YES!

[🇺🇸Brian🇺🇸 @veritasbrian]

@LocalPoliticsis If it was the federal government, why has NH surpassed Maine in all aspects, education, taxes, affordability. What's the difference....NH has had good Republican leadership. Get with it Maine, NH is schooling you on how to do this, you need to ask why

@TheMaineWonk And he also had no idea that he did that, I'm not even sure he knew he killed those people in the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal

[🇺🇸Brian🇺🇸 @veritasbrian]

@Science_FTW_ @will6410 @NYCMayor I wonder if non violent scenes ever become violent scenes without warning, or would a social worker have plenty of time to wait for an armed response

[🇺🇸Brian🇺🇸 @veritasbrian]

@DougWahl1 Doesn't matter he was cleared, cry all u want u dont get to look atvit with 20/20 hindsight, because its what a "reasonable offiicer" would have done and if an officer in a substantial similar situation did the same thing, then u can argue its objectively reasonable
