Loathsome Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer received the proverbial ‘kiss of death’ regarding her future political prospects from President Trump today, shortly before his rally in Warren, Michigan, to mark his 100 days in office.
As TGP readers know, Whitmer had been in the news for meeting with President Trump at the White House, infuriating her fellow Democrats. She was so embarrassed about being seen at the Trump White House that she covered her face and hid behind folders to avoid being photographed while she was there.
However, she showed no shame when President Trump touched down in Michigan. Whitmer made sure to greet him as he exited Air Force One.
As one will see, the two warmly embrace and share a few words.

Trump then gave Whitmer the kiss of death regarding her future political prospects a short time later during a speech before the Michigan National Guard Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Harrison Township. As News Channel 3 reported, Trump was there to announce the addition of 21 new F-15EXs fighter jets in part of the new F15-EX fighter mission.
Whitmer had been working with the Administration and other Republicans on this project and was with Trump as he spoke. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was also in attendance.
“I want to thank Gretchen Whitmer,” he said. “You know, I’m not supposed to do that. She’s a Democrat. They say, Don’t do that, don’t have her here. I said, ‘No, she’s going to be here.’”
“She’s done a very good job,” he added. “She was very much involved working with the Republicans on saving it.”

News Channel 3 noted Trump also announced he wants a one trillion dollar national defense budget and a new Selfridge defense shield named “Golden Dome” to safeguard Michigan from a missile strike.
Whitmer was not thrilled after getting played by Trump, especially when he invited her to give an unplanned speech.
