President Trump will visit Maine's most conservative county when he tours a factory producing medical swabs today. Conspicuously absent during the trip will be the state's only GOP member of Congress: Sen. Susan Collins.

Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, with President Trump in 2017, are keeping their distance from the president over his handling of the protests.Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, with President Trump in 2017, are keeping their distance from the president over his handling of the protests.

Conspicuously absent during the trip will be the state's only Republican member of Congress, Sen. Susan Collins. Collins, who faces a tough reelection fight to secure her fifth consecutive term, will remain in Washington, D.C., when the president travels to Puritan Medical Products in Guilford, Maine.

Earlier this week, Collins told Maine Public Radio that she'll be working in Washington on Friday and that she'll be holding a virtual fundraiser with South Dakota Republican Sen. John Thune in the afternoon. Collins visited the Puritan Medical factory in May, but her decision to not tour alongside a president whose electoral fortunes could affect her own has drawn considerable scrutiny. Trump continues to face withering criticism for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and for the ongoing protests over police violence against African Americans.

Maybe he’s looking for ideas to help black community. The Democrats don’t seem to be able to come up with any helpful policies.

Why she’s been his biggest cheer leader unapologetically for 3 years. Is she trying to uncook an egg?

I'm glad BunkerBoyTrump is getting out.

Trump is doomed.

Have a great idea for those long swabs.

Emblematic photo: Trump and his “concerned” enablers.

Maybe she's teaching him a lesson.

She has the right to do so, if trump isn't trying to unite the country he only has himself to blame.

'You don’t have to be a card-carrying fascist to collaborate with fascists and help them seize power; you just have to be morally bankrupt and self-serving. '

It is too late now, the damage is done, but that won’t stop a few rats leaving the sinking ship.

she can't open her door because her hands are firmly grasping her pearls

give us a hand:

Passive aggressively not greeting him as he visits her home state is the very least a sitting senator could do to express displeasure, and consequently, earns the least amount of respect I can give. She was given power, she chooses not to use it.

За такие твитты я люблю твиттер

I’m sure he’s heartbroken 🙄

She is busy getting her hair done at the LEGO factory.

Will he wear a mask?

trump is hiding from the American people. Bunker Boy is a coward.

SHE'S GETTING VOTED OUT! PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE!

The look on both Collins and Murkowski's faces in photo are indicative of the level of enthusiasm GOP women have for Trump.

You are RACIST.
