Trump:

"We must protect against a dangerous rebound"

"By instigating rebellion against the governors I promised to support and by denying them supplies they have arranged for, along with having my AG threaten governors whose standards I don't approve of."

Your selective quotes are hilarious.

The Whitmer for Biden Veep campaign seems to be on life support.

Forget her unpopular state lockdown orders that led to protests. ( her response was along the lines of Shut Up! Obey!)

She wasn't going to ever be Biden's Veep nor was she campaigning for it.

But sure, her chances got cut in half from 0% down to 0/2%.
I would also point out that there is no evidence Whitmer's lock down was unpopular in general. As opposed to unpopular with a small number of people triggered by Trump.
LOL!
So as usual you have absolutely nothing to back up your claim.
I didn’t make any claim.
Liar.

  The pattern of rightwing not-for-profits promoting public protests while still more radical groups use lockdown resistance as a platform for extreme rightwing causes looks set to continue in events advertised in other states over coming days.

In Idaho on Friday, protesters plan to gather at the capitol building in Boise to protest anti-virus restrictions put in place by the Republican governor, Brad Little.

The protest has been heavily promoted by the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF), which counts among its donors “dark money” funds linked to the Koch brothers such as Donors Capital Fund, and Castle Rock, a foundation seeded with part of the fortune of Adolph Coors, the rightwing beer magnate....

Red is still all in favor of blood sacrifice, lots of innocent blood. He’s just not sure of what would be the best way to lie about it just now.

He and Kiid are adjusting to the new situation.

It’s never easy for slow animals.

When your governor puts in place an order, the workers in that state are protected from their bosses, who are protected from their landlords and other creditors. Most governors extended this protection. Some who have are itching to take that protection away. Trump is still trying to figure out how to shift the blame to China.

He seems very old and unsteady. Maybe the new staff isn’t working out for him the way their extensive and impressive resumes implied they would.
