Donald Trump was removed from another state ballot, and the MAGA world had a meltdown.
Trump on Thursday got news that Maine’s Democratic secretary of state had nixed the former president from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause. That state-based development had Richard Nixon attorney John Dean saying, "Trump's in trouble."
But MAGA loyalists and right-wing pundits didn't take the news very well.
The Trump campaign itself said the decision is all part of Joe Biden's "attempted theft of an election and the disenfranchisement of the American voter."
Former GOP staffer Mike Davis said after the ruling that Democrats "are simply taking Trump off the ballot" because they are "in full panic mode."
"They impeached Trump twice. For nonsense. And indicted Trump four times. For non-crimes," he also added. "They unconstitutionally gagged Trump twice. That backfired. Trump is beating Biden like a drum."
In a separate post, Davis said Maine secretary of state Shenna Bellows was guilty of "an outrageous abuse of power."
"And an unconstitutional power grab," he said Thursday.
The MAGA War Room account, managed by Make America Great Again Inc., also chimed in.
"This is the radical anti-Trump Democrat that just removed President Trump from the ballot in Maine," the account wrote along with a 2017 tweet from the official.

Former Donald Trump physician and current Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) had an all-caps meltdown about the decision, which will ultimately find its way to the Supreme Court, according to experts.
"ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!! Maine Secretary of State Sheena Bellows is a DISGRACE to the country. THEIR ONLY CHANCE AT WINNING IS RIGGING THE ELECTION!" the lawmaker shouted. "Trump will be BACK in the White House. WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!"
GOP congresswoman Elise Stefanik also issued a press statement, calling the action "illegal and corrupt."
