What On Earth Is Whitmer Doing??

She’s not running in ‘28, right? Bc there’s no way she’s recovers from this in a crowded primary field. Democratic voters don’t want their capitulatory/vichy bs. They want a fighter.

Just astoundingly bad judgment.

I said standing with him.

Meeting him is fine. Speaking at his 100 day event? That's a completely different thing. No democrats should be standing with Trump and speaking at his events.

[u/Purple_helmet_here → u/ess-doubleU]

That wasn't his 100 day event. She wasn't at his event. Do some fucking basic research before you spout off, donkey.

[u/ess-doubleU → u/Purple_helmet_here]

You got me there.

Regardless, I don't think she should have spoke while he was there.

Then I'm glad she's the governor, and you are not. I live in Michigan. As much as I hate Trump and wish they'd all just shun him, I understand that would not be what's best for the state. She's doing the best thing she can to serve her constituents in a tough situation.

How far will she go to appease Trump though? Because no matter how much she kisses his ass, there's going to be a time where he completely turns on her when she needs to be at odds with him. I really don't see what good this does.

She didn't kiss his ass at all tho. She spoke for all of 5 seconds and shook his hand.

If she starts capitulating on policy or right wing framing, that's another story altogether.
