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 youll 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. Its 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.

(10,828 posts)Trump will need to load up with more orange makeup. Whitmer just gave him a deserved shiner.

(21,466 posts)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.
