Trump OKs Michigan disaster declaration, Whitmer says it's 'a good start'
Source: Detroit Free Press
President Donald Trump has approved Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's request for a federal major disaster declaration related to the coronavirus, the White House announced Saturday..
Whitmer said in a news release she appreciates the approval as "a good start," but said the federal government has not approved Michigan's request in full.
Separately, Whitmer announced Saturday that Michigan has received a shipment of 112,800 N95 masks from the strategic national stockpile, with an additional shipment of 8,000 masks on the way.
The approvals came despite Trump's public complaints as recently as Friday that Whitmer has not shown sufficient appreciation for what his administration has done to fight the pandemic. Trump attacked Whitmer on Twitter Friday and said on Fox News Thursday that Whitmer's criticism of federal planning and action has not been "pleasant."

He still wants praise heaped on him or he's going to throw another tantrum.
