Trump comments raise governor’s ire ahead of visit to Maine

TRUMP-MAINE

 

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — President Donald Trump is paying a visit Friday to a Maine manufacturer of specialized swabs used in testing for the coronavirus. The first word of the visit came during a discussion between Trump and governors on Monday following a weekend of demonstrations, some violent, following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Maine Gov. Janet Mills criticized the governor for calling governors “weak” and urging them to “dominate” protesters by arresting and imprisoning them. She urged to “check his rhetoric at the door” when he visits on Friday.
