Michigan governor says vendors 'being told not to send stuff' to her state -- after Trump bashed her

So if you're sick in Michigan, lotsa luck. Unreal. The giant baby is on his way to getting more people killed.

Michigan governor says vendors ‘being told not to send stuff’ to her state — after Trump bashed her

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday made a startling claim that medical supply vendors are “being told” to avoid sending badly needed gear to her state in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

During an interview with local station WWJ News Radio, Whitmer detailed how her state has had difficulty in securing supplies to help hospitals cope with the influx of COVID-19 patients.

“What I’ve gotten back is that vendors with whom we’ve procured contracts — they’re being told not to send stuff to Michigan,” she said. “It’s really concerning, I reached out to the White House last night and asked for a phone call with the president.”


At the time that she called the White House, Trump was attacking her during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, in which the president accused her of being insufficiently grateful for his assistance.

“We’ve had a big problem with the young — a woman governor,” Trump said. “You know who I’m talking about — from Michigan. We don’t like to see the complaints. […] She doesn’t get it done, and we send her a lot. Now, she wants a declaration of emergency, and, you know, we’ll have to make a decision on that. But Michigan is a very important state. I love the people of Michigan.”

If those vendors are refusing to sell their products, meant to save lives, to purposely allow people they don't like to die, then they need to be boycotted out of existence.

Never mind. Par for the course with that horrid man baby. He sure whines when people don't kiss his ass. Trump is just that kind of person. He is the kind of person who wants others to kiss his ass and grovel at his feet, in a time of crisis to get much needed help for the people in their state. So he doesn't send help because she didn't grovel at his feet and kiss his ass for it. He is as much as admitting it.
