Trump fires back at Michigan AG after she calls him 'petulant child'

Source: the hill.




By J. Edward Moreno - 05/22/20 07:58 AM EDT



President Trump late Thursday fired back at criticism from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D), who called him a “petulant child who refuses to follow the rules” for not wearing a mask during a visit to a Ford plant in the state.

The president responded by suggesting Nessel “was taking out her anger and stupidity” on Ford.

"Do nothing A.G. of the Great State of Michigan, Dana Nessel, should not be taking her anger and stupidity out on Ford Motor — they might get upset with you and leave the state, like so many other companies have — until I came along and brought business back to Michigan. JOBS!” Trump tweeted late Thursday evening.

Before the visit, Nessel had encouraged the president to wear the mask, noting it is required in the state by order of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and by Ford company policy.

From all angles, from all of his "enemies" every day. Hillary, Obama, Pelosi, Biden, and even more of them. Whats good for goose is good for the orange morbidly obese gander. (I'll bet that one really hurt)

We have to drop the "we go high" strategy temporarily at least. We should be using weapons we never had before now. Because Trump and the GOP have nothing to stand on now when it comes to acting shocked at "colorful" language and insults, we should take advantage. The late night comics have been doing it, its time everyone that can poke him do it relentlessly. Until he is exposed as the little whiny baby he is to everyone, not just us, but to moderate R's and Independents, when he predictably lashes back and says enough unforgivable childish garbage to cement Joe's win. That's what Mitch I'm sure is afraid of.

We have LOST 40,000,000 of them in the last 8 weeks...mainly due to the fact that his inaction and incompetence forced a nationwide shut down to stop the FIRST exponential outbreak of COVID-19. Now we are experimenting with the virus in real-time on a national level by reopening in a haphazard manner that is likely (though not certain) to cause an echo wave that dwarfs the first outbreak.

This so-called man has brought the nation to its knees and it threatening to curb stomp us out of spite and ignorance, and people STILL listen to what he has to say or tweet like its anything but the ravings of an imbecilic lunatic?

Hey Donnie 2 Scoops...fuck you, harder than your current whore is taking it from the security detail that she is double and triple teaming, if you believe what "many, many people are saying" that is...

She was on top of CV before IQ45 and issued stay and home orders quickly. If KKKobach would have won the Gov position in 2018 I doubt he would have shut anything down. I'm guessing he would have been a firm believer of keeping Guberment out of peoples lives even in the face of a pandemic.

We'd be looking at case counts and deaths like Louisiana right now.

It was the most satisfying ballot I have EVER cast. 3 wonderful Democratic women, no excuse absentee voting and MJ legalization.

Michigan supports our Governor, Lt Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State. Except for the Lt Governor who is an AA man the rest are women! They are very popular here in Michigan and it drives rightie repubs crazy. We voted for mail in voting in November 2018 and SOS Benson is just doing her job. She sent out APPLICATIONS not ballots. What politician attacks the very state you need to win by telling them he will hurt them? Only trump would do that.

Dana Nessel, who politely told this guy to fuck off. Hopefully come Nov 3rd, a landslide of voters will do the same thing at the ballot box. In my fantasy perfect world, as soon as Joe get’s sworn in on Jan 20th, the FBI will arrest this national disgrace as he leaves Joe’s swearing in for the same crime Michael Cohen was convicted for, as he is an unindicted co-conspirator for that crime.

Course that’s assuming he doesn’t resign a few days before he leaves office and Pence becomes president so he can pardon him for any federal crimes. Course that leaves any state crimes that hopefully New York State amongst others will go after him for and put that barking carnival clown where he belongs.

after 4 years of this idiot I'm over that. This is exactly how you handle a bully, you throw it right back in his face. I'm not saying you need to get nasty and crazy like he does but they need to start hitting back and mocking him. That's exactly what the AG and SOS have done, they have mocked him without looking too childish themselves.

His base is never going to care what he says and they aren't going to change their minds about him. They are a lost cause, he needs to be pushed to show all of the people in the middle what a fool and a child he is and this is the perfect way to do it.
