Awful thread title. The title of that Yahoo article is awful too.

Trump offers rare praise for Michigan Gov. Whitmer as she appears with him in Oval Office

President Donald Trump has offered rare praise for Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer as she appeared with him in the Oval Office.

apnews.com

Framed by Whitmer as a “blueprint for success,” her lengthy “Build, America, Build” address called for bipartisan cooperation to boost American manufacturing. While she offered soft criticism of the president, she also underscored shared priorities.

“I understand the motivation behind the tariffs, and I can tell you, here’s where President Trump and I do agree. We do need to make more stuff in America,” said Whitmer, before adding, “I’m not against tariffs outright, but it is a blunt tool. You can’t just pull out the tariff hammer to swing at every problem without a clear defined end-goal.”

Her take on tariffs is exactly right. She's not siding with Trump on trade policy either, she's recognizing that while tariffs *can* play a role in boosting American manufacturing, they're just one piece of a much bigger puzzle. Her emphasis on needing a clear, defined end-goal and pairing tariffs with broader domestic policy, like investing in industry, workers, and supply chains, is the right approach. That's something Trump doesn't acknowledge or have a plan for. He just thinks corporate tax cuts and tariffs is the magical fix. There's no plan behind it, no follow-through, just bluster. Her framing makes it clear that she understands the tools, and how to use them effectively.

Dumb. You think donnie or any Republican would say I agree with the Democrats on….

This shouldnt be part of her calculus, and I dont think it is.
I think her and Gavin are both reading the room and moving accordingly.

Went from Red Headed Hitler to "I think we can find some common ground".


These are our your Dems in a nutshell

why would people vote for Trump lite when they could get the real thing?

Coli political scientists irk me because they told me reparations were right around the corner if donnie was selected over the little Indian girl.

Now y’all jacking a democrat with MAGA talking points.

The wild thing is no dem not even them are crashing against migrants ( which I don’t even expect to be an issue in 2028) or gays.

I guess the cuts and the tarriff are good even though donnie ended up bending the knee to Wall street too.

Either tarriffs are the greatest idea or they’re not. even donnie in his way is admitting defeat.

clearly being diplomatic, but it's not like Trump doesn't backstab anyone and everyone so... whats the point? he'll come after her and her state eventually

This actually illustrates why Trump won. Headlines. No one reads past the headline.

Truth is you are voting against republicans regardless... the need to appeal to you isnt as great.
The most likely candidates for 2028 and their teams have clearly done the math and are moving the way they feel is best.


...the republican field is looking weak for 2028, might as well broaden their appeal.

I think what people like about trump they thik he says what he means despite lying and caving all the time.

Any agreement with donnie seems like a sellout to a lot of #bothsiders

They did the math and Kamala still lost.

I didn’t vote.

If 3 years from now this is just a blip and somehow nothing else happens donnie will declare victory and the republicans will look good.


again a Coli/ youtubian term was Democrat Shill That word was thrown around if you said anything positive about a democrat or even if you said that Project 2025 was that bad so I can see a scenario where the economy is doing fine and donnie says the tarriff cave was part of the plan and he won and people buying it.

You can always get votes dunking on Black and Brown people.

Trump was inevitable after Joe Biden decided not to give the party enough time to run a primary. Kamala played the cards she was dealt.

Theyre writing books now admitting Biden was dead on his feet.

There was too much internal glazing and people liked the fact that he was out of it so they could make policy and Kamala was deeply unpopular.

Oh you believe Don runs for a third term
fair enough...

My point is another breh posted something by donnie jr. where Kamala high fived a treh in the Oval office homie posted that saying Men were done with the dems.

If that is the most important thing to you as racism is the most important thing to a lot of whites then donnie is your man.

If you think donnie’s got to go ( politically) then you’d vote for whoever maybe even a treh if they’d agree to put things back to pre donnie ( and stop there).

speaking for me I’m pretty conservative let anyone who’s not glazing trump in there and I’m voting for them.

Want me to vote ( well I’m not voting anyway) select Charile Dent or someone and they’re getting my vote ober generic democrat.

By anyone other than a trump glazer so I’d pick Crockett over Vance.

So that answers the question about who’s gonna be behind the resolute desk in 2029 if you’re asking.
