Trump expressed gratitude towards Whitmer for her collaboration on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinas-j-20-fighter-jet-has-both-u-s-and-russian-dna\/\" title=\"China\u2019s J-20 Fighter Jet Has Both U.S. and Russian DNA\">defense initiatives<\/a>, specifically regarding the introduction of F-15EX fighter jets to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Despite this, Whitmer took the chance in a separate interview to criticize Trump, labeling his frist 100 days in office as &#8220;scary&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The piece highlights Whitmer&#8217;s duality in publicly acknowledging Trump&#8217;s efforts on defense while simultaneously disparaging him in media appearances. It points out the perceived imbalance in graciousness, as Trump appears more accommodating than Whitmer. The author suggests that Whitmer&#8217;s actions are hypocritical, given her past strict COVID policies that many criticized. while Whitmer benefits from the defense initiatives secured through her interaction wiht Trump, her public comments reveal a lack of reciprocity in their relationship.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Now and then, President Donald Trump exhibits a kind of magnanimity that must have supernatural origins. How else could one explain the president&rsquo;s kind words for one of the most grotesque gubernatorial tyrants in American history?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, as one would expect, the tyrant did not return the courtesy.<\/p>\n<p>In a video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KIB3QN36EGY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> Tuesday with Terrance Friday of WWJ-TV, Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, among the worst of the COVID-era tyrants, bashed Trump&rsquo;s first 100 days in office as &ldquo;scary&rdquo; and &ldquo;dangerous,&rdquo; despite the fact that the president, at an event earlier in the day, had graciously thanked the governor for her work on one issue where the two have found common purpose. Trump even invited her to the podium to deliver a few remarks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, Terrance, there&rsquo;s a lot there,&rdquo; Whitmer said of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-trump-refuses-let-abc-interviewer-get-away-shameless-lie-deportation-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trump<\/a> and his visit to her state. &ldquo;And there&rsquo;s a lot of stuff that&rsquo;s happened in the last 100 days that is really scary, really concerning, and downright dangerous.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump, however, did help secure new defense-related initiatives that will help Michigan. For that reason, Whitmer appeared at the White House earlier this month. Then, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/entertainment-arts\/books\/story\/2025-04-27\/gretchen-whitmer-trump-political-career-festival-of-books\">Los Angeles Times<\/a>, she tried to distance herself from the president again.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/gretchen-whitmer-accused-mocking-billions-christians-pro-kamala-communion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whitmer<\/a> followed the same pattern during her interview with Friday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I will say that his first stop today, though, in Michigan,&rdquo; she added, &ldquo;was at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and that&rsquo;s where I joined him, because I&rsquo;ve been working for years to try to get a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/whitmer-joins-trump-in-michigan-to-save-selfridge-military-base\/\" title=\"... joins ... in ... to save Selfridge military base\">fighter mission<\/a> at Selfridge.

He also congratulated Whitmer for doing a good job. Presumably, he meant on this particular issue.<\/p>\n<p>Whitmer then spoke briefly.

And the moment certainly should strike most viewers as civil, though not exactly inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, Trump showed far more graciousness toward the Democrat than what he received in return. And that might strike readers as a microcosm of conservatives&rsquo; broader experience during the Trump Era. We have no problem extending a friendly hand, trying to see the best in those whose ideas we find repellent. They, however, have so often <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/justice-trashed-pro-trump-clients-now-devastated-salon-owner-applying-fast-food-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">behaved<\/a> as if ostracizing Trump supporters, even family and lifelong friends, constitutes a moral duty.<\/p>\n<p>As for policy, every state governor and every U.S. representative characterizes defense expenditures in his or her state or district as essential for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/we-got-it-newsmax-reporter-emerald-robinson-national-security-source-confirms-a-piece-of-hardware-has-been-secured-in-germany\/\" title=\"We Got It! - Newsmax Reporter Emerald Robinson: National Security Source Confirms &quot;A Piece of Hardware Has Been Secured&quot; in Germany\">national security<\/a>. So Whitmer hardly achieved anything heroic on that front. Nonetheless, the Michiganders who benefit from the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">air base undoubtedly appreciated<\/a> her collaboration with the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Whitmer fought for her state and then trashed Trump. Fine.

How else can we interpret his kind remarks about one of the most notorious governors in American history? Unsurprisingly, the governor did not reciprocate. In a video interview on Tuesday with Terrance Friday from WWJ-TV, Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan\u2014one of the most criticized leaders during the COVID era\u2014described Trump&#8217;s first 100 days in office as &#8220;scary&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous,&#8221; despite Trump having earlier expressed gratitude for her collaboration on an issue they both supported. He even invited her to speak at an event. Whitmer commented on Trump&#8217;s visit to Michigan, stating there were many concerning developments over those 100 days. However, she acknowledged that Trump had facilitated new defense initiatives beneficial to Michigan, which is why she appeared at the White House recently. Later, according to the Los Angeles Times, she attempted to distance herself from him again.<\/p>\n<p>During her interview with Friday, Whitmer noted that Trump&#8217;s first stop in Michigan was at Selfridge Air National Guard Base where she joined him because she had been advocating for a new fighter mission there for years. She highlighted that today&#8217;s announcement regarding 21 F-15EX jets was significant for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, while Whitmer criticized Trump as &#8220;scary&#8221; and &#8220;dangerous,&#8221; he provided something valuable for her state which led her to publicly appear alongside him\u2014a situation that seems straightforward from her viewpoint. Earlier in the day though, Trump went out of his way to thank Whitmer during his speech at Selfridge Air National Guard Base and dismissed concerns about appearing with a Democrat while praising her work.<\/p>\n<p>Whitmer expressed gratitude for this announcement&#8217;s importance both economically and for national security but still managed to criticize Trump afterward. While it&#8217;s commendable that she stood beside him publicly despite their differences\u2014an act seen as civil yet uninspiring\u2014it\u2019s evident that Trump&#8217;s graciousness exceeded what he received in return; this dynamic may reflect broader experiences conservatives have faced during his presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Despite every governor framing defense spending as vital for national security\u2014which makes Whitmer&#8217;s actions less heroic\u2014the residents benefiting from these initiatives likely appreciated her cooperation with Trump&#8217;s administration. Ultimately though, while fighting for her state is commendable, it doesn&#8217;t excuse how harshly she spoke against Trump afterward; many believe figures like Whitmer should be held accountable for their actions during COVID-19 restrictions rather than receiving praise without acknowledgment of past missteps<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2429316,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Whitmer-with-Trump-at-podium.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[50410,32517,4601,5894,3634],"class_list":["post-2429315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-controversy-2","tag-gretchen-whitmer","tag-michigan","tag-politics","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Whitmer-with-Trump-at-podium.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2429315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2429315"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2429315\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2429319,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2429315\/revisions\/2429319"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2429316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2429315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2429315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2429315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
