Perfect. If anything will get under Trump's thin skin...

[THREAD] This morning I took a few moments to read a powerful essay written by our former president, @BarackObama, about how we can make this moment a turning point for real change in our country. I felt hopeful and inspired in a way that I haven’t felt in a long time.



Then, I joined a call with my fellow governors and the current president.

President Trump told governors to ‘put it down’ or we would be ‘overridden.’ He said governors should ‘dominate’ protesters, ‘or you’ll look like a bunch of jerks.’

We MUST reject this way of thinking.



This is a moment that calls for empathy, humanity, and unity. We must remember our enemy is racial injustice, not one another. It’s time for all of us to pull together and do the hard work of building a nation that works for everyone.



Let us heed the powerful words of President Obama today to ‘channel our justifiable anger into peaceful, sustained, and effective action.’

1. She knows how to hit him...

just like Pelosi. Kick him in the Obama bone. Guaranteed pain.

[highplainsdem]

2. Yep.

3. This!👆

4. Ouch! That'll Leave a Bruise

Trump will need to load up with more orange makeup. Whitmer just gave him a deserved shiner.

[wnylib]

25. That image of Trump with

orange pancake makeup is just another point of difference between Obama and Trump. Obama is good looking without makeup. Trump is ugly, with or without it.

It's not even a matter of biology. It's more that personality and character show through to make one man look good and the other one look ugly from the inside out to the surface.

5. She should add that trump needs to go chat with the protestors

That’s what Donny Dumbfuck told her to do.

14. Great point!

[Harker]

6. There isn't any empathy, humanity, or unity

in his miserable repertoire.

7. I hope she is popular in Michigan.

She is a wonderful leader.

[Skidmore]

12. She is.

My daughter's partner is from Michigan and tells me that she is very respected.

[roamer65]

15. Very popular, especially in SE Michigan.

That’s where the votes are located.

[Karadeniz]

24. Thank you for the Gov. Christine Todd Whitman tweet. It is EXCELLENT! All 5 of them are great!

And major kudos to Gov Whitmer also!

[roamer65]

16. "That woman from Michigan" is playing with him like cat does with a mouse.

She’s my wonderful governor.

[LisaM]

18. i'm really hoping that they start making sweatshirts and t-shirts that say:

I'M ONE OF "THOSE' WOMEN FROM MICHIGAN.

I'd buy it!!

[roamer65]

21. We need her picture on a tshirt along with it saying "This woman for Governor"

It would be great shirt for her re-election campaign in 2022.

[crickets]

17. Whitmer's response is exactly what it should be. Perfect.

The Obama jab in trump's direction is icing on the cake. 👏👏

[SidDithers]

19. DU rec...nt

20. Good leadership from Governor Whitmer.

None from Bunker Boy.

[Victor_c3]

22. The assumption that republicans want any meaningful change is wrong

They want to keep things exactly as they are. If anything, the changes they want are to dial things back to how they used to be.

The good ol’ days, lynchings, children working, Hoover towns, dust bowl

[demigoddess]

23. Obama always says it better.

doesn't he?

[niyad]

27. TY Gov Whitmer!

TY, hpd!
