Donald Trump is reverting to his 2016 schtick. There he was Saturday night, campaigning in Michigan where he said the governor “wants to be a dictator… and the people can’t stand her.” The crowd then began chanting, “lock her up.”
Today, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Trump has to stop. Earlier this month, the FBI foiled a kidnap plot against Whitmer.
“It’s incredibly disturbing that the president of the United States — 10 days after a plot to kidnap, put me on trial and execute me — 10 days after that was uncovered, the president is at it again and inspiring and incentivizing … domestic terrorism.”
“It’s wrong. It’s got to end. It’s dangerous, not just for me and my family, but for public servants everywhere who are doing their jobs and trying to protect their fellow Americans. People of good will on both sides of the aisle need to step up and call this out and bring the heat down.” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
And it appears the people actually can stand the governor as her approval ratings in the state are higher than Donald Trump’s.
