Of Maine Fishermen and Lumberjacks... Does TFG even know what day it is?

Former President Donald Trump tore into Republican Sen. Susan Collins on Monday after The New York Times reported that the Maine lawmaker was helping to recruit anti-Trump Republican candidates to run for Senate.

--snip--

The former president pointed out that he won Maine's 2nd congressional district, earning him one of the state's four Electoral College votes. Trump also claimed to have remained silent on "the fisherman" and "the lumberjacks," saying Collins would have lost if he'd raised these issues.

"Just one word about her and the fact that she didn't help the fisherman, as their rights were taken from them from the federal government, and the lumberjacks, she would have had no chance to win," Trump said in his statement. "But I remained silent and positive and allowed her to have her victory."

It wasn't clear what Trump was referring to, though The Hill reported that the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule to give Maine's fishing industry more time to adopt cleaner engines while Trump was president. He also issued a memo to the Department of Agriculture directing them to review financial aid to lobstermen who were financially impacted by his trade war with China. Collins supported both measures, according to the Hill.

I sometimes wonder how it must be to live as a cultist. I mean... Dear Leader just says crazy shit and you somehow have to adjust reality to make it fit... How does that even work?

They would never do that in the Pacific NW. It is always logger.

The term "lumberjack" is reserved for Paul Bunyon.. I haven't heard anyone using the term to describe anyone in the logging industry.
