Democrats call Gretchen Whitmer for the visit of the White House
The governor of Colorado, Jared Polis (D), called Michigan’s governor, Gretchen Whitmer (D) after he said in a speech on Wednesday, he agreed with the reason for President Donald Trump on the rates.
“The ‘Rate Hammer’ ends up hitting your own hand instead of the nail,” Polis published on Wednesday in X, along with a video of Whitmer’s speech. “Tariffs are bad because they lead at higher prices and destroy US manufacturing. Trade is inherently good because both parties emerge better from a consensual transaction. While sanctions (Russia, Iran) can have a geopolitical national security role, it should always be considered with open eyes that sanctions harm us so much to ourselves and others.”
In his direction of “Build, America, build” Wednesday in Washington, DC, Whitmer said he agreed with Trump in his “motivation behind the rates.”
“I understand the motivation behind the rates, and I can tell him that this is where President Trump and I agree,” he said. “We need to do more things in the United States: more cars and french fries, more steel and ships. We need fair trade.”
In the speech, he presented his strategy to bring more manufacturing to the United States.
“We give more people who work more workers in a decent life,” he said. “And we are going to introduce, as President Trump says, a ‘golden age’ of American manufacturing.”
But some criticized Whitmer for their comments. Although he did not explicitly mention Whitmer, Michigan’s state representative, Laurie Pohutsky (D), wrote Thursday in X: “There is no midpoint that meets an administration that is cleaning the ass with the Constitution.”
Some other high Democrats told NBC News who thought that Whitmer was “interpreted” by Trump when he appeared in the Oval office, while Trump signed executive orders in front of the press, including an instruction of federal agencies that investigated government officials who questioned Trump’s false statement that the 2020 elections were stolen.

“He has really done an excellent job,” Trump said about Whitmer, who was in the White House to talk to Trump in private about topics related to Michigan, during firms. “Very good person.”
A Whitmer spokesman told NBC News that the governor was “surprised” that he was taken to the oval office “without any notice of the subject.”

“His presence is not support of the actions taken or statements made in that event,” said a spokesman.
Whitmer then told journalists that I did not agree “with many things that were said” in the oval office, but she stayed “because she needed to present the case of Michigan, and that is my job.”
