Dear Editor:

Trump is amazing at one singular thing: the con. He convinced many of us that he had working people's interests at heart, wanted to "drain the swamp," and would release all of the Epstein papers. Then we elected him and he gave a trillion-dollar tax break to his uber-rich friends, cut medical and food assistance to the needy, and launched a billion-dollar-a-day war in Iran with no end in sight.  

We’ll pay for this war at the gas pump and with the lives of our kids and grandkids. The only ones who will win in Iran are his buddies Netanyahu - a friend of Trump's in-laws - and Putin who, according to Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, has the goods on Trump and Epstein.

Before you caste another vote for Trump or his lackies -- including Susan Collins -- talk to me. I've got a bridge in Wiscasset I'd like to sell you.
