Gov Whitmer gets schooled by Trump-Dems be warned [View all]

Gov. Whitmer tried her "I agree with some of Trump tariffs but" approach and got slapped on her face

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/disaster-gretchen-whitmers-talk-tariffs-meeting-trump-anger-fellow-dem-rcna200530

Some Dems still do not get it. What is it about total opposition that these Dems don't understand. We see this with Schumer, Durbin and others. Slotkin 's response to Trump address talked more about Reagan and Bush than about Dems

Do these ass kissing Dems don't get it? MAGA GOP is not your old Constitution loving GOP. Trump made Whitmer stand by him as he signed executive orders after orders and her presence gave the photo op of bipartisanship.

"I understand why you voted for Trump but" approach does not work. Hello Dems, fight like Jasmine from Texas

I've listened to her. I'm disappointed that she met with that orange piece of shit knowing what he does. Autumn Apr 2025 #39

The OP is not about her speech, which was good. The OP is about her meeting with the orange sack of shit Autumn Apr 2025 #41

Exactly which part of her speech do you find to be the most egregious? xocetaceans Apr 2025 #25

It wasn't just her speech. It was her letting Trump use her for his fascist EO photo op. SunSeeker Apr 2025 #36

Let's start with the speech, though. One point at a time. What is the part of the speech that was the most egregious... xocetaceans Apr 2025 #46

I think you're confusing me with NNadir--that's who you had directed your question to. SunSeeker Apr 2025 #47

Obviously, you are not NNadir. There is no confusion in that. Dropping in as you did is also obviously fine as is... xocetaceans Apr 2025 #55
