"Don't call the woman in Michigan."

Michigan is in the early stages of facing its COVID-19 nightmare. Any president with basic human principles would be doing all he or she can to help the people of every state, and work constructively with Governors regardless of political differences. Here is what Trump said today about working with Gov Inslee in Washington state and Gov Whitmer in Michigan:

How will that play with the people in those states as the death tolls rise and the hospitals are overwhelmed? I don’t think Trump had much of a shot at a repeat win in Michigan in 2020, but this should make it impossible. Every person in Michigan will be hearing a lot in the local media about how the Trump COVID-19 team has been directed not to call their Governor to coordinate the resources of the federal government to help them.

Governors Whitmer and Inslee have been vocal in calling out the unforgivable delays in the Trump administration response to the pandemic and the many, many blunders since. And Trump cannot contain his fear and anger. It tells us something. The Democratic establishment needs to be vocal now, set the narrative NOW, and don’t let Trump Doublespeak this one into him being a tremendous leader during a perfect response to the pandemic. There are a lot of people at home watching a lot of TV and they should all be seeing some ads like this:

His response to Governors Whitmer and Inslee, and his legal team’s attempts to stop the above ad, show how afraid he is of his own words on coronavirus.
