Trump supports Michigan protesters, says Gov. Whitmer should 'give a little'

Source: MSN

LANSING — President Donald Trump backed Thursday's Capitol protesters in a Friday morning tweet, saying Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer should "give a little, and put out the fire."

Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Capitol in Lansing Thursday, urging an end to Michigan's state of emergency. At one point, a large group, some with rifles slung over their shoulders, massed in the lobby outside the House chambers and yelled at Michigan State Police troopers and House sergeants, demanding to be allowed onto the House floor.

Many of the demonstrators wore Trump hats or carried other paraphernalia related to his 2020 re-election campaign.

"The Governor of Michigan should give a little, and put out the fire," Trump said on Twitter. "These are very good people, but they are angry. They want their lives back again, safely! See them, talk to them, make a deal."

Trump is just Mr. Opposite. First, he says States should open. Then, he undercuts Georgia's Governor who does exactly that. After that, he then says that Michigan should open even if it is being hit harder than Georgia.

Sane people know that is not the case. They are causing a sooner phase two.

She's looking after the majority of her constituents and no meager protest by a parade of dumb looking wannabees is ever going to change that.

Her popularity is soaring, while yours is sinking.

Instead, why don't you address the skyrocketing unemployement and deficits occurring on your watch? And while you're at it, why don't you get PPE to our first responders and Covid-19 tests to states that need it??? Act like a leader, not a dictator.

Until then, FUCK OFF, you tyrant!

While millions counter-protest by staying at home as they are supposed to, a small gaggle of rabid trump supporters give trump a campaign rally with the media ever-ready to give him lots of free campaign advertising. Nice.

And, what's with the "make a deal" nonsense? Is the governor the virus' agent or something? Is she supposed to be negotiating "a deal" with the virus?
