i dont think thats quite how that works, but thats kind of moot, either way she didnt want to meet up with trump initially at the event, because he wasnt planned to be there, he basically just invited himself, and instead of being shooed away or ignored, she still shook his hand
As soon as Trump invites himself, anyone with an conscience would have uninvited themselves. Whitmer's political career is over because that handshake is going to be part of every opponent's ad campaign from here on out.
its less about her being at a trump event and more that shes trying to be respectful to someone whos legitimately a child, even though she doesnt owe him anything and he would embarass himself just fine
So far, she's going to do whatever it takes, with as little compromise as possible, to get her state taken care of. I remind all of us on the left, this state went red - again, for Trump. She's walking a tightrope here.
And I’ll remind you that people hate Trump now. And you are truly misreading the results. Do you see pritzker doing this? Or Wisconsin? Or Pennsylvania? No. Trump has been as radical as he promised and people are feeling it now. #nooligarchy #nokings
Pa and Wisconsin I havent a clue, Pritzer is not a good comparison. I remember Governor Cuomo singing thanks to Trump when he provided masks and gloves (what the feds shouldve been providing but the Trumps were holding hostage) during Covid. Andrew despised Trump, but he did what he had to do.
And now Andrew loves Trump. Or talks highly of him and how he’d love to work with him. But no that’s still just strategy right? Also did you miss that a majority of people are afraid and angry at Trump? I bet you forgot Trump basically tried to commit treason, but that doesn’t seem to matter anymore
She has not stood up to him once! To think she was considered presidential material? NEVER Whitmer! Never. She should learn from JB. Trump asked her to speak because he knows he can control her. He could never control Pritzker!
Presumably she was at the Oval Office then, and at this event today, simply to best serve her constituents. For sure he is attempting to use her as a prop. That she is term-limited allows her to take the hit from purists, one could argue.
Her highest duty not only to her constituents but also to all Americans and every person on the face of this earth is to fight to restore rule of law to our nation. Full stop.
Do you think history cares about the gov of German states who managed to get temp economic relief under Hitler? No
I hear you. For me the line is acquiescing or compromising on actual policy, like several universities and big law firms did, to their own eternal shame. A governor exchanging some bad optics for desperately needed FEMA and other federal funding is well below that threshold.
if those cunts manhandling that " prisoner " are so sure of the justness of their actions , why do they obscure their faces beyond normal recognition ?
It’s amusing that you think she will actually get FEMA funding by appearing with him! 😂😂😂 Sarah Huckabee is begging for FEMA assistance and Trump is ignoring her.

You either stand up or you kneel down.
but also, she did nothing to stand up to him, or the bare minimum of pretending he doesnt exist
Progressives don't get this part of the country, because they don't live here.
If they want to know about politics in the most electorally powerful part of the world, they should move here.
The Left are being led around by the nose again.
I wonder how many posters this thread are MAGA operatives.
How unlucky.
You really should expect more from your politicians. It's their fucking job to do this better.
The “don’t you know who I am” crowd is all the same, regardless of party, and they dgaf about anyone else.
How many times will she be a prop for trump? Also she's term limited so it's not like it really matters if people like her rn.

When this is playing it isn't just bad optics it's a dereliction of basic human responsibility
