“Don’t call,” the president told Vice President Pence of the governors as the states battle the growing pandemic.

“I think we’ve done a great job for the state of Washington,” Trump said at the daily White House briefing on COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. Adding that Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) was a “failed presidential candidate,” Trump said, “He’s constantly tripping and I guess complaining.”

“She has no idea what’s going on,” Trump then said of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). “And all she does is say, ‘Oh, it’s the federal government’s fault.’ And we’ve taken great care of Michigan.”

Asked what more the president wants from governors, Trump answered: “I want them to be appreciative,” he said multiple times, adding that the Army Corps of Engineers’ recent work to revamp hotels to receive coronavirus patients “should be for governors to do, that should be for states to do.”

“I say, ‘Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington; you’re wasting your time with him. Don’t call the woman in Michigan. It doesn’t make any difference what happens.’”

“If they don’t treat you right, I don’t call,” Trump added, noting Pence is a “different type of person” who will “call quietly anyway.”

Trump slammed Whitmer this week, calling her “the young, a woman governor,” in a Fox News interview, saying: “We don’t like to see the complaints.”

Earlier this month, Trump called Inslee a “snake” during a press conference on coronavirus. At the time, Washington led the nation in coronavirus-linked deaths. .............................

Trumps cruel vindictiveness is on display for the world to see.

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Michigan and Washington will remember Trump's words when they give their electoral votes

to anyone-but-Trump in November.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

2. "If they don't treat you right, I don't call," Trump added

Translation, "If they don't kiss my ass, I don't call"

[lastlib]

3. So it's "the governor" in Washington......

but it's "the woman in Michigan"?? Why the stinkin' hell can't he refer to HER as "the governor"??

I continue to SEEETHE with hatred for this trainload of shit!

[PatSeg]

4. That jumped out at me during the press conference

Even if he didn't remember her name, he could have said "the governor". What a hateful pathetic man.

[KYBlue]

10. Republicans love dehumanizing dems

I still remember Sarah Huckabee Sanders referring to several democrats as "those individuals" instead of by their names and titles.

[PatSeg]

11. Just downright petty and nasty

[Haggis for Breakfast]

12. And childish.

[FailureToCommunicate]

5. Trump is hateful, vindictive, lacking any morals or leadership ability. And those around

him reek of the same substance.

[turbinetree]

6. What a spiteful empty worthless person he is not worthy to be called a man....................

he really is a small minded asshole, and he really must practice in front of fucking mirror everyday do be such a malignant narcissistic psychopath that has no fucking understand of what word empathy is all about...........................none , zilch, nada.

Why doesn't the press when he has his next "all about him " meeting just get up and walk the fuck out.......................he is just a fucking disgrace.................................

[Scarsdale]

7. They should refuse to attend.

The TRUE facts must be available elsewhere? All these meeting do is give him chances to spew his hate, get his followers riled up about his treatment. Pence has no spine, he is a coward, like tRump and the rest of this administration. tRump taunts Inslee for not getting nominated for the presidency, well if not for RUSSIAN interference, neither would failure Don the Con. Putin OWNS this orange bastard, plus too many gop "representatives".

[turbinetree]

8. We are getting more reliable information from other sites than letting this treasonous bunch

get airtime at 5:00 PM to just expose just how vindictive, spiteful, arrogant this bunch truly is, they really don't care, the only one I try to have respect for is Fauci.

I truly believe that this libertarian bunch are going to be voted out of office and the "guy" with orange hair is going to be going to jail..................sometime next year....................but he and his crime family are going to go to jail........................

And yes we are seeing what, who and how there are those that are beholden to the Russian .......................

[raccoon]

9. He oughta be removed for this. nt

[Haggis for Breakfast]

13. When the new democratic administration begins,

I think one of their priorities in the first year is to re-write the language of the 25th amendment. The wording is all about what to do in the case of a president who falls physically-ill. Now, we need something that would address a president who becomes mentally unfit to perform the duties of the job.

This is a no-brainer. After three years of trumpie-ism, we now know what can happen when an incompetent, intellectually-challenged, mentally unstable person assumes the role of the president of the US. We cannot allow someone like him to EVER ascend to the position or hold onto it once it is proven that a danger to the security of this nation has been revealed. In this manner, we will never again be held hostage by one political party who is drunk with power and refuses to put country over party.

[dalton99a]

14. Republicans picked a sadistic criminal and made him the most powerful man in the world

[olddad65]

15. No, Putin hand picked this monster

But he probably picked all of the tea party politicians also.

[Beacool]

16. He's such a despicable sorry excuse of a human being.

I don't recall Bush asking NY to be "appreciative" of the federal aid given to the city after 9/11. Neither do I recall any other president asking the same from governors after a natural disaster.

[la-trucker]

17. It is all about him that fucker

he is jealous that a virus is getting more attention than him
