Trump's Virus Defense Is Often an Attack, and the Target Is Often a Woman
WASHINGTON As he confronts a global pandemic, President Donald Trumps attention has also been directed at a more familiar foe: those he feels are challenging him, and particularly women.
Always a mess with Mary B., Trump tweeted last week, attacking the female chief executive of General Motors, Mary T. Barra, as he accused the company of dragging its feet on producing ventilators. As usual with this General Motors, things just never seem to work out, he wrote, this GM apparently referring to the one led by the first female chief executive of an American auto manufacturer.
At least he mentioned Barra by name. When it came to Gretchen Whitmer, Michigans Democratic governor, who delivered her partys official response to his State of the Union address earlier this year and has pushed for a national emergency declaration in her state, Trump did not acknowledge her by name.
Weve had a big problem with the young, a woman governor, he said in an interview last week with Sean Hannity, the Fox News host. You know who Im talking about, from Michigan. The president dismissed Whitmer, who has been pressing the federal government to provide more medical equipment to her state, noting that she was a new governor and it had not been pleasant.
