How Trump responds
Last night’s news, but I just need to pin it down.
This is late evening on a day when it was all over the news that a group of wacko-right vigilantes were planning to kidnap Michigan’s governor Gretchen Whitmer. She’s a Democrat and a woman and she takes the necessary precautions during a lethal pandemic, so naturally the bully boys plan violence against her, and Trump cheers them on.
This is Trump defending all Americans? Shouting stupid abusive lies about Whitmer on Twitter?
Also notice that hideous “My Justice Department” – it’s not his. It’s ours, it’s not his.
Not to mention ordering Whitmer to let the virus run rampant in Michigan.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday that attacks lobbed at her by President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign after authorities announced they foiled a plot to kidnap her “tells you everything you need to know” about the difference between the President and Joe Biden.
…
Following the announcement [of the arrests] by federal and state officials, Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller lambasted the governor, who had tied Trump’s rhetoric to the plot in earlier televised remarks, saying she “wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart” for Trump.
…
Whitmer said that she’s asked the White House and Republicans in her state to decrease the level of inflammatory rhetoric they put out that she said helped spark the alleged plot.
And they’ve responded by increasing the level of inflammatory rhetoric they put out.
H/t What a Maroon
Spoken from the heart, hand no doubt over his heart as he did so: like any true demagogue and megalomaniac.
It is certainly not Trumps justice department because he hardly pays taxes. The rest of us pay taxes to support the government. He just claims huge refunds from the IRS while engaging in bullshit deductions.
