Trump Camp Jabs Whitmer For Lacking Gratitude After Prez Emboldened ‘Lock Her Up’ Chants | Talking Points Memo

The Trump campaign deepened the echo chamber of the President’s attacks against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Sunday as they repeated his gripe that the Democratic governor should be more appreciative after the FBI foiled an alleged right-wing conspiracy to kidnap and possibly kill her earlier this month.

Remember folks Brenton Tarrant namechecked Donald Trump for his reason why he needed to shoto up two mosques in NZ, and the Trump machine denied that too.

If Trump knew the FBI planed to stop Witmer’s kidnapping and possible killing he would have called them off.

Which FBI is it that Whitmer should be even more appreciative of? The FBI that Donny Jr. says Trump should break up in next term or the FBI that saves lives and thwarts Russian plots to steal elections?

Hey Donnie, suburban white ( and yellow, black and brown) women don’t like this. We don’t even have to live in a suburb to recognize that a guy who smacks down a women and then tells her she should be grateful is a pathological abuser and an A-hole.

The FBI is still able to function and prevent crimes like this despite Trump, not because of him. In no way whatsoever does he deserve any credit or gratitude. And in no other administration would anyone be expected to thank the president for feds simply doing their jobs. Outrageous.

This is exactly the way abusers behave. “You should be grateful for my abuse of you!”

Asked about whether the President has any regrets about his incendiary remarks toward Whitmer during an interview on Fox News Sunday, Miller denied the notion as he repeated Trump’s call for the Michigan governor to “open up your state.”

In other words, the President of the United States of America regrets that his terroristic threats have not yet been more effective.

She should have just told the truth. Trump is a buffoon, and a psychopath.

Then shut up and let her say thank you to the FBI. You think the FBI belongs to you? Haven’t you figured out by now it doesn’t? I thought you were going to disband it just because they don’t belong to you.

Donald - I think I speak for a huge overwhelming majority of Americans when I say … it is irritating and annoying when we have to witness the person who holds the highest office in the land -
The President of the United States

  • behave like an undignified obnoxious loudmouth asshole -
  • crudely berate women and minorities and the handicapped
  • be grotesquely insulting to religious groups - just because they are not aligned with you
  • be unbelievably crass and insulting to children who speak out for causes you don’t favor .
  • mockingly threaten unjustifiable use of force simply as revenge to sooth your ego
  • and then … when it looks like the contest might not go your way - you say that you will just up and leave … WOW - you are a coward of infinite proportions …

We are so fed up that we will stand in lines for 6-7 hours … in the rain … put up yard signs …make phone calls … and hundreds of other things
We are so ashamed that our nation has unleashed such a hate spewing atrocity on the world stage that we will work tirelessly to purge you from this nation’s government … and see that suspected transgressions are investigated and prosecuted as appropriate.

This type of gaslighting is beyond deplorable – it’s just plain evil. The shambolic response of these Trumpers and their continued lake of seriousness has killed hundreds of thousands during this pandemic.

Trump’s people think the choice is the economy or the disease. That is why they insist on opening up without regard to Covid. That is the Republican position and has been the Republican position all along. That is stupid.

It is clear that you can’t open until you have Covid under control. That is all that Whitmer has been trying to do. Get Covid under control to allow her state to open.

So I would add stupid to all the other characteristics attributed to Trump and his camp.

She should be vocally thankful to Trump that Federal law enforcement is doing their job stopping domestic terrorism? What?!?
