Is Donald Trump really demanding to be praised before sending Michigan COVID-19 aid? It sure looks that way.

I like our “woman governor” here in Michigan. I think that, given the hand she’s been dealt, she’s been doing a good job for the citizens of the state. I do wonder, however, how much better things might be for us right now if she’d spent a little more of her time over the course of this crisis stroking Donald Trump’s fragile ego, instead of focusing on frivolous things like the health and wellbeing of her constituents. As Trump said yesterday, he encouraged Vice President Mike Pence, the head of the White House coronavirus task force, not to engage with Governor Whitmer, who he referred to as “the woman in Michigan,” as she didn’t appropriately praise his effective and masterful leadership over the course of the pandemic. “If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,” Donald Trump told reporters. Here, for the unbelieving, is the video.

According to Whitmer, this outrageous behavior on the part of the President is having a very real impact on our ability as a state to respond to the exponentially growing needs of those suffering from COVID-19. Following is an excerpt from news radio WJR.

…”What I’ve gotten back is that vendors with whom we’ve procured contracts — They’re being told not to send stuff to Michigan,” Whitmer said live on air. “It’s really concerning, I reached out to the White House last night and asked for a phone call with the president, ironically at the time this stuff was going on.”

The other stuff was Trump speaking with Sean Hannity on FOX News about Whitmer, a Democrat who has said very pointed things about the federal government’s lack of coordinated response to the coronavirus crisis. Trump said of Whitmer, “She is a new governor, and it’s not been pleasant… “We’ve had a big problem with the young — a woman governor. You know who I’m talking about — from Michigan. We don’t like to see the complaints.”

Michigan’s request for disaster assistance has not yet been approved by the White House, and Trump told Hannity he’s still weighing it.

“She doesn’t get it done, and we send her a lot. Now, she wants a declaration of emergency, and, you know, we’ll have to make a decision on that. But Michigan is a very important state. I love the people of Michigan”…

“I’ve been uniquely singled out,” Whitmer went on to say. “I don’t go into personal attacks, I don’t have time for that, I don’t have energy for that, frankly. All of our focus has to be on COVID-19.”

She, of course, is right. No one, during a time of unimaginable crisis like this, should be forced to publicly lavish praise upon an elected official. It’s not surprising that this is happening, though. As you may recall, this was predicted. Stanford Law Professor Pamela Karlan warned us during Trump’s impeachment trial that, if we didn’t remove him from office for attempting to coerce the Ukrainian government into opening a bogus investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden, we could well see something like this happen. Remember how she said that an emboldened Donald Trump might attempt to use a domestic disaster to elicit statements of support from our governors? Well, here we are.

As for why Donald Trump has it in for Whitmer, I suspect it’s largely due to the fact that, last weekend, she said on national television that “lives will be lost because we weren’t prepared.” She was merely speaking the truth. We were unprepared for this. And people are dying. But Donald Trump clearly took it as a personal attack. Whitmer, for what it’s worth, was respectful in her comments at the time. She even said that she’d be grateful if he helped us acquire the ventilators we so desperately needed. Whitmer said, “I feel like we are making some progress, but if the federal government is able to procure some ventilators, and ship them to Michigan, we will be incredibly grateful.” But, of course, those ventilators from the federal stockpile never came. And, according to Whitmer, as you just read above, private companies have been instructed not to ship ventilators to Michigan. [If it turns out that the Trump administration did indeed intercede to stop shipments to Michigan, one hopes that it comes up in his criminal trial after the all of this is over.]

But, yeah, Whitmer wasn’t happy with the federal government, and she said so. That, by the way, is her job. She’s supposed to advocate for us, and that means calling out the federal government when they refuse to offer any significant help in the face of a pandemic… It’s kind of what we pay taxes for.

And this is federal problem. I know I’ve said it before, but Whitmer, and her fellow governors, were not privy to the the classified intelligence briefings that Donald Trump was receiving on the coronavirus outbreak back in January and February. They didn’t know the extent to which our medical infrastructure would be effected. They weren’t the ones receiving tactical advice concerning the necessity to stockpile things like medical masks and ventilators. They just knew, from our President, that everything was “very much under control.” [That, by they way, is an exact a quote from Donald Trump. On February 24, he said, “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”]

Donald Trump may not like to hear it, but it’s true — had he acted quickly when he first got word in January, we would not be in the fix we’re now in, where we’re talking about the possibility that doctors in Michigan might have to deny care to the elderly because of we don’t have enough ventilators to go around. With two months lead time, Michigan hospitals could have met this massive public health crisis properly outfitted, but Donald Trump chose to downplay the severity of coronavirus for months, instead of treating it like the legitimate public health crisis that it is. And now our hospitals in Michigan are trying to do the best they can with the 1,000 ventilators they have.

So, how does Donald Trump respond to this massive failure on the part of his administration? He looks for scapegoats, and apparently he’s decided to attack everyone from the Obama administration, which left office over three years ago, to the entire country of China, while also talking glowingly of his own accomplishments. And the governors of America figure prominently is this ‘it’s everyone’s fault but mine‘ narrative. When they offer statements of fact, saying, for instance, that they’re not receiving federal assistance, they’re met with comments like those above, and quotes like this one from Trump — “(They) shouldn’t be blaming the Federal Government for their own shortcomings.”

Here’s another example of Trump coming after Whitmer yesterday.

So, yeah, Trump is taking the opportunity during this crisis, with 112,468 Americans now infected, and 1,895 already dead, to shit on the Governor of Michigan, and blame us for not being better prepared, in spite of the fact that we’d received no warnings from the federal government to do so. One just hopes the people of Michigan keep this in mind come November, when it comes time to vote for the next president of the United States. As former Obama staffer Ben Rhodes just said on Twitter, “It will be GREAT when Michigan ends the Trump presidency.” We put him in the White House, and it’s on us to take him back out.

One last thing. Maybe Whitmer played this right after all. She’s reporting this morning that we just today received our first “112,800 N95 masks… from the strategic national stockpile.” And Donald Trump just approved our disaster declaration. Maybe more people should try standing up to our trifling, orange despot.

update: The Biden campaign just released an absolutely devastating ad about Donald Trump’s reluctance to work with states that don’t “treat (him) well.”

update: When asked about Trump’s comments, Dr. Fauci assures the American people that the “people who need things will get what they need” regardless of the President’s rhetoric.

update: Whitmer on Meet the Press Sunday morning, demonstrating leadership, and reiterating that now isn’t the time for us to be fighting one another.

update: Rudy Giuliani spells it out on Fox. “When you play with your boss, sometimes it’s better when you don’t win the golf game,” he says. “He’s the boss, he’s got all the resources.”

    Apparently the 170 ventilators that CA got from the federal stockpile weren’t working. It doesn’t look as though the fix was too difficult, but that’s pretty disconcerting. Also, does anyone know how many ventilators we’re getting from that federal stockpile?

    This morning in a forum meeting on the current crisis I was invited to attend (on-line) I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears a mature adult male say (what follows is the best paraphrasing I can do) that he’d like to hear anyone in the media, just once, “Thank the President for the job he’s doing. Thank him for BUSTING his tail, working for the American people.”

    I see a lot of good people of all political leanings doing and saying things which astound me in the degree of avoidance, denial and ignorance expressed. I see it from Trump supporters and anti-Trump folks alike. Many people who hate Trump and see him as nothing but a problem still aren’t understanding the situation we have developing here. I’ve had to be way more sensitive to people’s apparent fear and denial than I usually am. It’s been a challenge for me.

    As I think everyone here knows, I have no problem answering questions. I may have not been much help with FF’s question about the discrepancy between the estimates on how many ventilators the US has. I’m willing to keep looking at it though. I’d like to know the answer to FF’s question as well.

    You do not believe Trump’s behavior is at all inappropriate?

    You do not see Trump’s behavior as inappropriate?

    I’d also like to ad another question if I could…

    What is the reason for not being able or willing to just say “no” to my questions?

    Maybe FF it EOS can help here.

    …and to answer your question, yes, HW, it’s reasonable to state “I don’t want them to say things that aren’t true.”

    I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request for Trump to make. However, did Trump specify what it was that was said that wasn’t true, when he made that statement? If he did, what was it? If he didn’t, why wouldn’t he have?

    The point is that I think there might be a different reason why you wouldn’t just answer “no” outright.

    I thought Whitmer was childish at her conference. I think the media is childish. I think people like Schumer and Pelosi are childish with their little impeachment and investigation games. I think you are childish when you say things like “wish you into a cornfield.” I don’t know or care what that references. It’s meaningless and dumb.

    If Michigan’s governor wants to use this as an opportunity to try to make the President look bad when he has done everything pretty fucking well if not absolutely knocking it out of the park then why is it a problem to tell her to get her shit together? 2.2 trillion smackeroonies (delayed by dems) and a disaster declaration tells me there is plenty of assistance coming to the hapless governor and the people of our state.

    HW: “I thought Whitmer was childish at her conference. I think the media is childish. I think people like Schumer and Pelosi are childish with their little impeachment and investigation games.”

    Well, HW, that does at least suggest you believe some behavior is childish. Do you feel Trump has ever said or done anything which you’d put in that catagory?

    HW: “I think you are childish when you say things like “wish you into a cornfield.” I don’t know or care what that references. It’s meaningless and dumb.”

    It certainly is childish. I freely admit that. I wouldn’t say it if I were president. That is for sure. Do you realize that there are childish things many people like myself say, but would not say if we were president?

    I don’t think it’s completely meaningless though. I’m spoofing the way you, FF and EOS act about Trump. It is strangely reminiscent of a famous Twilight Zone episode titled “It’s a Good Life” in which a town lives in fear of a child who can wish things in to or outvof existence. I think my referencing it is a humors way of criticizing Trump supporters appearance of living in fear of being, speaking or even thinking in an honest and critical way about anything Trump does or says.

    You see, I don’t fear speaking or thinking critically about anything or anyone. And it’s difficult for me to imagine what others might fear so much about it themselves. It’s especially perplexing to see that fear in a person posting anonymously on a blog, because it seems there are no consequences at all for any degree of honesty in that sort of situation.

    FF, You are such a sexist dick to JH all of the time! And me. It isn’t an accident that few women are here. It seems to be the norm here. Lots of sexist men and two uppity women who speak their minds anyways.

    Perhaps the reasons I disagree with you has absolutely nothing to do with your sex?

    FF, maybe. Probably not but it doesn’t matter. I am only speaking up because sexism is so common that it is pretty easy for women to take men like you seriously and I just wanted JH to know that I see the sexist bullshit here too.

    I don’t get it. Why not just show all the supposedly easily-duped-by-sexist-bullshit-type-women why they shouldn’t take me seriously by attacking my arguments? It’s almost always just name calling from you two ladies. Why?

    I doubt Lynne can come up with a single example of a sexist comment by Frosted Flakes. She has the time to say things like that but no time to substantiate them at all. It’s wild to see such behavior especially from someone who openly hates white men.

    Stupidity is more common than sexism and it’s not gender specific. How many places have you visited in the last few months again, Lynne?

    Yeah. that whole ganging up bullying thing is part of how you guys punish women who dare have opinions around here. I can only stay here because I find you guys ridiculous and an excellent source of entertainment. You are kind of like my Tiger Kings LOL

    You brazenly attacked me for months in concert with others until I finally responded. That’s the truth. Look it up and show me I am wrong or you are a ridiculous fool, right?

    FF– It was an earnest question.

    There’s not much I can do if you see a “smear” in everything.

    Bob– stupidity is best expressed by those incapable of making an argument that is not pugilistic and/or a personal attack. Actually you are incapable of making an argument. You commented twice on this thread so let’s do a quick. replay:

    “Yes and know[sic]. You are so woke though. Such a dumb fuck.”

    “Stupidity is more common than sexism and it’s not gender-specific. How many places have you visited in the last few months again, Lynne?”

    You’re a real fucking genius, Bob. And not sexist at all. Your women friends who ALL work at PP supposedly, tell you so when they are trashing me, right? Last I checked, trashing clients was not acceptable behavior at PP or any health care facility. And no one I know who works there knows who you were talking about btw and suggested you made the story up. Care to name names? They sound like AMAZING feminists– The uppity women trashing kind.

    You are probably the most self loathing person I’ve ever encountered in my life Jean. I’m sorry nobody loves you. Real women laugh at you.
